While Taylor Swift hasn't commented on the video, which features her wax likeness nude next to West, her friend Lena Dunham (http://mashable.com/category/lena-dunham/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) spoke out against the video in a Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/lenadunham/photos/a.1614087275538744.1073741828.1611530282461110/1756770211270449/?type=3&theater).*
