Lena Dunham: Accused of Abandoning Dog, Lying About Reason Why
Another week, another random Lena Dunham-related controversy.
At this point, you Lena drama is as predictable as the tides, and it always seems that just as she’s putting one mini-scandal behind her, another rushes in.
Part of this is the Internet’s fault, as social media users routinely lose their minds over molehill-caliber stuff like not liking Lena’s latest tattoos.
But, of course, a big part of it is Lena’s fault, as she routinely courts controversy by saying and doing problematic sh-t, and then turning around and seeking sympathy from the ultra-PC recreational outrage crowd whenever it suits her.
It’ been going on for years, and lena is certainly not the first born-rich celebrity who can’t comprehend that the public will occasionally voice displeasure with her, and sometimes it’s best to just shrug it off, rather than making things worse with a lame explanation.
Particularly when that explanation contains statements that are easily exposed as lies, and may lead to a press investigation that will expose myriad other lies.
This one had to do with Lena’s former dog, Lamby.
We say former dog not because Lamby has died … though she’s hopefully gone to a better place.
You see, after four years of ownership and despite an income that allows for ample dog walkers, god psychologists, dog accupuncturists, and dog yoga instructors, Lena decided Lamby had become too much of a burden and gave Lamby away.
She explained the decision in a lengthy Instagram post in which she basically pinned the blame for her dog’s “aggressive behavior on previous, abusive owners that don’t exist … and the staff at one of the most highly-regarded anumal shelters in the country.
“After four years of challenging behavior and aggression that could not be treated with training or medication or consistent loving dog ownership, Lamby went to live at an amazing professional facility in Los Angeles,” Dunham wrote.
“Lamby suffered terrible abuse as a pup that made having him in a typical home environment dangerous to him and others- we needed to be responsible to ourselves, our neighbors and especially our beloved boy.”
Some have offered kudos to Lena for finding a professional facility to care for Lamby, instead of just returning him to the shelter, but she adopted from a no-kill shelter and promised to return the dog and not re-home it.
But even if you’re under the mistaken impression that Lena deserves praise for finding Lamby a new home, just about everything else that she wrote is suspect at best, slanderous at worst.
This is far from the first time that Dunham’s fitness to own a dog has been questioned, but this time the main source of controversy isn’t her lack of training ability but the fact that Lena appears to have flat-oit lied about Lamby’s history of abuse.
Not surprisingly, the shelter responded with a statement clarifiying that Lamby was not abused, did not have three additional owners, and had no history of aggressive behavior.
“We checked the records for Lamby,” said spokesman Robert Vazquez.
“He was ‘owner surrendered, not enough time,’ so we do not know where she got ‘multiple owners that abused the dog.’”
Vazquez continued:
“When she adopted the dog from us, it wasn’t crazy,” Vazquez continued.
“I have pictures of the dog loving on Lena and her mom, which is weird if the dog was abused. It wouldn’t be cuddling with her or be in the bed with her ‘boyfriend’ in the pages of Vogue.”
He also points out that Lamby frequently accompanied Lena at work and on film and talk show sets.
The Vogue comment refers to a 2013 issue of the magazine, in which Lena can be seen lying in bed with Lamby. (Look at that adorable little psycho!)
In the same article accompanying the incriminating photo Lena made the apocryphal claim that Lamby had been passed around amongst multiple abusive owners:
Dunham claimed the dog had had “three other homes, three other names, but now he’s mine mine mine.”
Again, this appears to be a lie.
Naturally, Dunham took to Instagram to furhter explain the mess … and dug herself a deeper hole:
“It’s come to my attention that the staff at the shelter where I adopted Lamby have a very different account of his early life and behavioral issues than I do,” she wrote.
While I’m sorry to have disappointed them … I would never say an unkind word about the staff of BARC, what they do is amazing and life saving for these animals- but we have different accounts of Lamby’s behavior and they were not present in my home nor did they live with him for an extended period.”
In case you can’t stomach another long-winded excuse for sh-tty behavior, Lena basically said, “I’m not calling the shelter staff liars … but yeah, they’re totes lying.”
Proving that there’s no situation she can’t make worse, Dunham has since bought – not adopted – two young poodles.
We guess after spending so much time on set with his daughter, she decided to attend the Brian Williams School of Scandal Management.
Kim Kardashian, It"s a Miracle My Sports Bra Stayed On!!!
Kim Kardashian’s sports bra was hanging on for dear life as she trudged up an L.A. canyon. Kim and the girls went for a walk Thursday in Fryman Canyon near her Bel Air home. Her pal, Carla DiBello, and her personal trainer, Don-A-Matrix, were by her…
Brandi Glanville Testifies: Yes, Joanna Krupa"s Vagina Stinks!
So, Joanna Krupa is suing Brandi Glanville for saying that her vagina smells. That’s a thing that’s really happening in the world. And it’s reached the point of Brandi Glanville giving sworn testimony on the matter.
Take a moment to imagine going to law school and passing the bar exam only to be involved in this particular case. Okay, stop — stop screaming.
Brandi Glanville may not be a lawyer, but she makes a great argument for why this lawsuit should be thrown out. Aside from the obvious absurdity, we mean.
Remember that it was back in 2015, on Watch What Happens Live, when Brandi Glanville said that Joanna Krupa’s p—y stinks, which didn’t really seem like a vicious attack.
It was a line said for easy laughs, right?
In fact, Brandi at the time was just repeating her 2013 comments, because everybody wants to entertain when they’re being interviewed.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone, least of all Brandi, imagined that Joanna Krupa would sue for $ 15,000 over it.
There’s being overly litigious and then there’s whatever this is.
Don’t get us wrong, we have absolutely no opinion on Joanna Krupa’s genital odor, because we haven’t smelled it.
And we pray that this continues to be the case.
That’s no slight against Joanna.
(We don’t want to investigate the genital odor, pleasant or unpleasant, of any Real Housewives)
But whatever the odor, this whole lawsuit is a mistake.
Joanna could win this (probably not, but she could) and it would still be a huge mistake.
Joanna Krupa signed up for p—y odor comments when she signed up for the show, Brandi said in the TMZ-acquired court transcript.
Brandi says that she “didn’t say anything that I knew to be false.”
That could be the crux of this case.
Slander suits are complicated and lawsuits over slander and libel vary across the globe.
But generally speaking, it’s going to be hard to convince a jury that Brandi committed slander if she didn’t knowingly make false statements.
And then there’s just general knowledge about the human body.
Vagina’s are self-cleaning, but a degree of odor can be normal for a lot of people, though it’s seldom unpleasant.
Strong or unpleasant odors are usually the result of an upset pH balance.
That can happen from soap or sex or menstruation.
That means that, well, strong genital odor is a believable claim.
There was more to Brandi’s testimony, however.
Because Brandi said that comments like hers automatically went with the territory of becoming a reality star, Joanna Krupa’s lawyer challenged her with a question:
“Do you think that means you can say things like her p—y smells?”
Brandi’s reply?
“Well, yeah.”
Brandi has also repeatedly stated that their Real Housewives contracts prevent castmembers from suing each other.
But we don’t know the details of their contracts (if only!) and we don’t know whether Brandi repeating the comments on Watch What Happens Live creates some sort of lawsuit loophole.
Ultimately, this has to turn out to be counterproductive for Joanna.
First of all, this makes her look vindictive.
Second of all, it makes her look super defensive.
And finally, while we may all be able to spout off five facts about Brandi Glanville off of the top of our heads, not everyone is super familiar with Real Housewives stars.
But this lawsuit is making all kinds of headlines and even people who aren’t familiar with the parties involved are paying attention.
So, true or not, Joanna Krupa risks making herself known as the “woman with the stinky p—y” to a lot of people, all in the hopes of a little empty vindication.
There is such a thing as bad publicity.
