Some small corrections and things I forgot to mention:
1. Apparently, Lena Dunham did put out a twitter apology after initially discrediting Aurora, but the apology wasn't aimed at Aurora, it was an apology for the inappropriate timing of the statement. Here's a link to it, if you want to read it yourself. https://www.yahoo.com/news/complete-timeline-miller-perrineau-allegations-163000057.html
2. I cut out a few sections, I was going to address the Lena Dunham sibling thing but didn't know where to place it, but there is an article deconstructing what was actually said in the book and whatnot, maybe I'll talk about it when I do my Girls video one day.
3. 01:31:29 - Lol not sure why I said "generous" there instead of dangerous...oh well
4. Completely forgot to mention that Aurora Perrineau is the daughter of Harold Perrineau from Romeo + Juliet and O.Z
(EDIT) 5. I should've added more context to the thing about Lena and her sibling, here's an article that interviews psychotherapists who specialize in CSA and they discuss the passage: https://www.vox.com/2014/11/8/7157065/dunham-child-abuse
What I should've added was that, when I was looking up forum posts and Reddit posts that discussed Lena, to get more of an idea of what people thought of her, people kept bringing up the sister thing. But I got frustrated because many of these commenters retelling the story were all saying different things and then I would see replies telling them that they were misremembering what was said. So, out of frustration, I ended up buying her book and I have read what was said and it was definitely uncomfortable and inappropriate, and I don't think she should have even put that in her book. There was also another passage of her making a very weird p*do joke about her sibling. It's definitely gross and I just think it shows how Lena's lack of self-awareness has always been one of her biggest problems.
6. Also made a slight mistake with Anne Hathaway. She hosted the Oscars with James before she won an Oscar for Les Misérables. So, it was the Oscar win I think, that made things worse but hosting the Oscars with James may have been what kickstarted her backlash.
7. Doyle is non-binary, uses they/them pronouns and goes by Jude Doyle now. Lena Dunham's sibling Cyrus is non-binary and trans.
8. Just noticed I misspelled "failry" in my banger Amy Schumer intro. This is why I need an editor
