Lena Dunham Didn’t Respect The Odell Beckham Jr. Curve

Odell Beckham Jr. found himself at the center of an entitlement and sexual projection battle on Twitter Friday after excerpts from an interview with actress Lena Dunham were spread to the internets.

According to Daily Mail, Dunham said in an interview with comedian and actress Amy Schumer, that while the two were seated at a table together during the MetGala last May, Beckham ignored her all night. Instead of chatting, she said the Giants wide receiver scrolled through Instagram the whole time.

‘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 f*** it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo. I’m going to go back to my cell phone.”

‘It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie.

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

Some took Dunham’s comments to be yet another example of “white entitlement.” As in Lena was truly offended or expected Odell to be smitten with her. I say those people have probably never watched an episode of her HBO show Girls. A lot of her humor is self depreciating. Lena took to Twitter to give the interview some context.

Dunham has since issued an apology to Beckham on her Instagram page.

Lena also wanted you to know that she and actor Michael B. Jordan are cool too.
