Following serious backlash, Lena Dunham is walking back a previous statement made in support of Girls writer Murray Miller, who's been accused of raping then-17-year-old actress Aurora Perrineau when he was 35.*
After The Wrap's (https://www.thewrap.com/girls-murray-miller-aurora-perrineau-harold-perrineau-lost-oz/) initial Friday report on the allegations, Dunham and Girls co-creator Jenni Konner sent a joint statement (http://mashable.com/2017/11/17/lena-dunham-murray-miller-rape-accusation-defense/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) to The Hollywood Reporter that called the allegation "misreported."

"We believe, having worked closely with him for more than half a decade, that this is the case with Murray Miller," the statement reads (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/girls-writer-murray-miller-accused-sexually-assaulting-actress-aurora-perrineau-1059660?utm_source=Direct). "While our first instinct is to listen to every woman's story, our insider knowledge of Murray's situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year."
