Lena Dunham got herself in a big mess with her disgusting and racist comments regarding sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr. at a recent awards event.

Now, after the backlash, she has finally issued an apology, she sort of excuses herself, but puts some important points out (that we knew already!

). Is this enough? Does she deserve a pass on this one?

Her initial comments were pretty bad, as you can see below:

“I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, “That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.” It wasn’t mean—he just seemed confused.

The vibe was very much like, “Do I want to fuck it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo.

I was like, “This should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.”

And on Instagram she issued her long winded apology saying:

I owe Odell Beckham Jr. an apology. Despite my moments of bravado, I struggle at industry events (and in life) with the sense that I don’t rep a certain standard of beauty and so when I show up to the Met Ball surrounded by models and swan-like actresses it’s hard not to feel like a sack of flaming garbage. This felt especially intense with a handsome athlete as my dinner companion and a bunch of women I was sure he’d rather be seated with. But I went ahead and projected these insecurities and made totally narcissistic assumptions about what he was thinking, then presented those assumptions as facts. I feel terrible about it. Because after listening to lots of valid criticism, I see how unfair it is to ascribe misogynistic thoughts to someone I don’t know AT ALL. Like, we have never met, I have no idea the kind of day he’s having or what his truth is. But most importantly, I would never intentionally contribute to a long and often violent history of the over-sexualization of black male bodies- as well as false accusations by white women towards black men. I’m so sorry, particularly to OBJ, who has every right to be on his cell phone. The fact is I don’t know about his state of mind (I don’t know a lot of things) and I shouldn’t have acted like I did. Much love and thanks, Lena

We do all make mistakes but when you are in the spotlight you gotta mull over your words and thoughts a little more than the average Joe.

Looking forward to your thoughts….
