Lena Dunham has apologized to NFL star Odell Beckham,family Archives Jr. on Instagram after her recent interview with Amy Schumer sparked rampant criticism.
In the latest issue of Dunham's Lenny Letter, the Girlscreator speculated that Beckham Jr. ignored her at their Met Gala table because he did not find her sexually desirable. "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," Dunham told Schumer.

Twitter did not take kindly to Dunham's statement. Many accused her of projecting an unfounded sexual narrative onto Beckham Jr. — who, of course, could have been quiet for a wide variety of reasons.

At first, Dunham chalked the whole statement up to her "sense of humor." But on Saturday, she issued an apology, saying that her callousness toward Beckham Jr. stemmed from insecurity.
"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," she wrote.
She also apologized for "ascrib[ing] misogynistic thoughts" to Beckham Jr, writing, "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."
