This comments section makes me so happy, I’m happy her work is finally being appreciated more. I always loved Girls and it was so frustrating how misunderstood it was. People just assumed she was a literal parallel with her character and thought there was no self-awareness to making fun of negative qualities
Exactly!!! Like she’s self deprecating not to be annoying or whiny but that’s how she truly thought of herself. So many young women and men could relate to that, esp in their 20s
It was interesting that she played Hannah so well and wrote so brilliantly in the show that people thought and complained about her actions in the show. Also the sexism and body shaming towards her while the show was on the air. Plus all the stories people made up about her and her sister, that was awful to see and the hate on her is still strong on twitter. I adore her and think she is so talented and funny and genuine. She has been through a lot and I'm glad she is happy now!
I had endometriosis and a complete hysterectomy at 29. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 40. I’m 62 now and live in chronic pain. I’m thankful to be here.
@David’s Mom That's something I'm going to look into, as a chronic pain patient! I took it recreationally awhile back, it was PHENOMENAL. Nothing that I'd care to abuse, if it worked it would be an excellent tool.
Yaya, same issues, age plus Stickler Syndrome & you voiced my thoughts of just feeling lucky to be alive with all I have been dealt. I feel for you and wish you the best.
I've watched Girls all the way through 3 times, she is a great writer and people who have never seen it & only see her public persona fail to realize how talented she is. AMAZING SHOW! I wish she could do something else that was as good, i tried to watch camping on hbo and it was stupid.
You think 'Girls' was well written? The conversations between characters in that show always struck me as feeling contrived. They sounded little like real people talk but rather like someone's notion of what clever discourse ought to be. Simply said, the dialogue sounded written. I never bought any of it. Plus the show itself was inane.
My husband also has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He lives with chronic pain and other health issues due to this genetic defect in the makeup of connective tissue. Good to see someone in the public realm shine a light on EDS.
I also appreciate how she’s spoken up and out about having Endometriosis, AND that she has donated a great deal of her time and money to fund Endometriosis research. I have lived with this incurable disease since the age of 12. I can no longer work because I’m in debilitating pain more often than not.
Whew. I am 33, nearly 34. I have Ehler’s Danlos as well. I am on the verge of having a hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids. I work in the entertainment industry, and I have battled illness stigma for years. Thank you, Drew and Lena, for telling this story and bringing awareness. We aren’t broken. We survive. We thrive.
Amy I had a hysterectomy at 34 after years of complications due to endometriosis and adenomyosis. I feel it saved my life. I also work in the biz and totally get it. Wishing you great recovery and more beautiful life on the other side of your treatment.
Same, I have Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, have endometriosis, and had a hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids too. It's a lot of pain to deal with and also not well known (EDS that is) and I appreciate anyone bringing light to this syndrome.
Thats all she ever does. For years she claimed she was totally transparent which of course was a lie being she was a drug addict since she was 20 that she only admitted after her show was done. she had a platform and chose to use it to be naked and blah blah about being fat when she could have actually been honest that she was completely addicted to meds. I have endo, doctors tell you a hysterectomy does NOT improve the condition. She demanded a hysterectomy and then wrote about it, like that's the real reason she did it.
Grateful Endo is being discussed! Lena and I had the same doc and the same surgeries. I agree, we live in a culture that devalues our fight- looking down at us as 'sickly' rather than badass warriors taking charge of our illness!!! Even in my rest days, I know it's just a part of my daily choice to keep going.
I love you Lena! One of my fave authors and creatives of the 2k’s! You’re the voice of my generation and I’ll forever follow your work and read whatever you write, and listen to whatever you speak … and I’ll NEVER call you crazy 😂😗 I LOVE YOU, LENA!💗
I knew she would end up saying an autoimmune issue. I hope you will keep looking into the massive realm of health issues for women, due to autoimmune health issues. Food is the number 1 healer for us. It is also the number 1 reason, we women do not heal. Thank you Drew for your human to human kindness.
Drew really did show her strength as a young person in so many different ways. First, as an actor, and also as a child of a feckless mother who wasn’t caring for her. Then she went on to recover herself from partying and stay acting. It’s a lot for a person to take on, and she did it. I find it inspiring. I also vividly remember she would talk about her mother but wasn’t bitter sounding. Way better than I could do. ❤
@@furiousangel6508not at the same level as the kardashians . A lot of the things that came out about Lena Dunham has been debunked but your fave incest filled family has and still does horrible things
Girls was one of the only shows I would active seek out because it was so good. I have the attention of a squirrel but managed to stay interested in the storylines and scenes of the shows because~excellent | exceptional A N D despite being older than the cast | story, by more than a few years, I really loved and enjoyed the writing, the acting, the all of it. Exceptionally talented ‘girl’ right there!
I don't generally watch the show Girls, but I think it was a very funny show and I think Lena Dunham is a very skilled writer, dirdctor and actress. She should make more sitcoms like Girls.
I am very glad she talks about Endometriosis however, Hysterectomy is a cure for Adenomyosis ..Excision is a treatment for Endometriosis as Endo has no cure
When do you feel beautiful is such a weird question for me as a man to hear because that’s kind of self reassurance doesn’t figure into my world at all on any level. I never feel beautiful and never really need to. Anyway, what the hell do I know about it?
I’m a woman and I feel the same way. It’s a ridiculous self-involved question or even concept. I need to feel productive I need to feel like I’m taking care of my family I need to feel like a learning contributing human being. Wanting or needing to feel beautiful is so foreign to me.
Thank you for giving credit where its do. I love Lana with everything, for she is my hero in so many ways. I hope she gets all the respect in the world.
@@rachelralph1 no. As others have said weird clichés about feeling beautiful and being a wandering soul 🤮. Ridiculous stupid stuff that regular people don’t care about & don’t say.
I wish Drew and everyone would know the work of doctor Peter Levine and doctor Ruden's self Havening. I do suffer from autoimmune conditions too since always but diagnosed in 2003. My life has changed a lot since I started working on myself with these two doctors' approaches. :)
I’m reading the comments. What happened to them both? Drew’s bizarre valley girl voice and clownish gestures. Lena is bloated, weird. The emperor is wearing no clothes guys. Sad.

So I thought that was Kathy Najimy.... from 1993... uh cuz Kathy is immortal and looks the same as she did in 1993 ....hi Leena!!! You're Gorgeous.... I have dementia or something at 46🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰
“As we kick off beauty week....” should never be the opening line for a Lena Dunham interview. It’s like saying, “As we kick off morality and anti-abuse week, here’s Harvey Weinstein!!!” Ya.... no.
I’m on the second season of Girls now… first season had some great moments but good lord. What a gimmicky, contrived, tone deaf, pandering, self-indulgent piece of garbage. Between the token black guy, gratuitous nudity ( “I’m conventionally unattractive but look how much I don’t care! Feminism!”) and she has literally said the character is based on her so don’t give me that. The episode where she follows the older handsome guy home who somehow is attracted to her and they jump around naked all day… just terrible writing on so many levels. I’ve never understood all the hate until now.
I’ve understood the hate. And it’s because of all the stuff you just said and more. She’s gross. I feel bad for her health challenges as a human, but as an artist or entertainer she is just gross.

yo this lena guy is all sorts of disgusting.
@@ntakanti She also molested her little sister for years but yeah we only hate her because she's annoying

I’m currently watching Girls and cannot get over how well written it is. Lena is amazing
Enjoy! It's so so so good. I miss those days when I would rewatch it all the time.
I just binge watched the show and wished there was more than 6 seasons!
I've watched Girls all the way through 3 times, she is a great writer and people who have never seen it & only see her public persona fail to realize how talented she is. AMAZING SHOW!
I wish she could do something else that was as good, i tried to watch camping on hbo and it was stupid.

This is so good. So much respect to Lena for talking about what she is going through, I know it will encourage many others.

i can't describe how disgusting lena is.
I just finished Girls on HBO and now I’m so sad. I developed a crush on Lena.
I first saw Lena as a teen, her brilliance lit up the screen, live well and have joy
Drew’s show is so real!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏🏾
Wow I have missed Lena's voice tremendously 💜💜💜💜 Sending both rockstars a massive hug, love n light!
@Nenethegreat W u must believe the same about yourself and that saddens us all. Love and healing to you.

Lena is so natural. I love how she does not care about what she looks like. She is the real role model and not the Kardashians.
She doesn’t throw a temper tantrum bc everyone proved they edit all of their photos🤣🤣🤣
Of course she cares about what she looks like.... you’ve totally missed the point.
O'Dell Beckham disagrees....he speaks for men collectively when he says: he doesn't know who she is. She's physical and morally repulsive

strange seeing positive comments < i know thats sad. just the hate this person gets on twitter that ive seen its refreshing to see some love
She gets hate for a reason
Please don't forget that this woman is a super privileged racist, disguised as a feminist.
@@adalfyre7937what reason?
Lena, you look incredible. I have never seen you look and sound more comfortable in your skin.
I have c-EDS as well. I’m with you.
She is so talented
Love this convo

GROOSSSSSSS
Thank you for giving credit where its do. I love Lana with everything, for she is my hero in so many ways. I hope she gets all the respect in the world.
Barf!!
Did anyone hear at the start? ‘When I kick off beauty week, I couldn’t thought or dreamt doing it with anyone like you?’...and Lena *blink blink* 🤣
Yea...I picked up on that too
Yeah, what was up with that?
Drew meant “I couldn’t have dreamt doing it without you.”
She looks like the reality version of Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hall.
This sounds like satire, the phoney sentimental cliches they send back and forth
Cliché about endometriosis?
@@rachelralph1 no. As others have said weird clichés about feeling beautiful and being a wandering soul 🤮. Ridiculous stupid stuff that regular people don’t care about & don’t say.

Thank you I’m gonna check them out
Missed u Lena❤️
Very nice DREW 😊
Drew as a therapist - needed in these times. Honest conversations.
She blew up!!
I really love Lena Dunham and Drew Barrymore!
I think Lena is amazing.
Truly beautiful.
✨✨✨✨
Drew is such an angel I absolutely love her
Didn't know she was sick. Man that is a rough path to walk alone.
I think her narcissism is the biggest illness
Thanks for sharing Lena’s story
Could we maybe not support admitted sexual predators who defend rapists?
❤❤❤
I need her voice asap.
👎
All the feels… for Lena and Drew. 😍
I like both people.
That’s very unappealing
Brutal.
We win.
What she did to her little sister is disgusting! 👎👎👎👎👎
we have all done it
@@Monikainlove ew no we haven't
She is a hero to me.
Shes put on 80 pounds totally unrecognizable
It's the sickness
This feels like some kind of parody. The back and forth vapid sycophantic remarks. Weird
We also need to care about Lena’s sa victims mental health
I love lena. I don't get why she gets so much hate
Maybe for abusing her younger sister?
Maybe for being a closet racist?
@@beckiehubley5798 Be honest, this fake news is not the reason why you hate her.

Well that would explain alot
Very nice
“If Lena Dunham ever put me in a self defense situation”
omg she got so big
Lena is cool
I’m reading the comments. What happened to them both? Drew’s bizarre valley girl voice and clownish gestures. Lena is bloated, weird. The emperor is wearing no clothes guys. Sad.
No one wants to talk about Lena being an abuser? Drew this is disappointing. Why give someone like this a platform..gross

LENA DUNHAM IS LEGEND. AUthentic fabulous writer.......fantastic characters/honesty & unique voice.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaasss honestly. Why is Lena not on my screens anymore 😭
Because she is an Anti-Black Racist
Oh my god I can see the swelling etc on Lena and I hope she gets well soon , how heartbreaking
Has anyone in the world thought that Drew Barrymore lower face reminds them of Kylie jenner mouth and teeth prior to all her work?
Remember when she said she wishes she could have a abortion?
She is so well spoken! Women power!
So I thought that was Kathy Najimy.... from 1993... uh cuz Kathy is immortal and looks the same as she did in 1993 ....hi Leena!!! You're Gorgeous.... I have dementia or something at 46🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰
