Count acclaimed Girls star/creator Lena Dunham among those who aren’t enamored with Rihanna and Chris Brown being back together these days.

Her recent reconciliation with Chris Brown . An excerpt from Lena Dunham’s interview with Baldwin, in which she discusses the controversial singers’ relationship in context, appears below: “[Being a role model] is amazing,” she says of her rise to fame. “It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you have to take seriously.” “Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be really into Rihanna , the pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house.” “But, I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are so obsessed with Rihanna.” “You know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy.” “She’s so talented.
