'Livid' S.E. Cupp HAMMERS Slate for pushing Odell Beckham Jr. rumor after Lena Dunham's story

All I can say of @secupp's Slate rant is….dammmmmn girl.

As we told you yesterday, in an interview with Amy Schumer, actress Lena Dunham described how New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t appear to be attracted to her at the Met Gala both were attending, and it was because of sexism, or something. Dunham later tweeted that she didn’t intend to imply anything and that the story was just an example of her “sense of humor.”

An article at Slate about Dunham’s story, however, did imply something:

Yeah, S.E. Cupp wasn’t about to let that slide:

Really @slate? Trafficking in gay "rumors" now? Just to protect @lenadunham's paranoia? Shame on you. https://t.co/YsDuY8cwLt

There's a rule serious journalism outfits abide by. Don't perpetuate gay rumors. @slate has opted not to be serious. https://t.co/YsDuY8cwLt

Seriously, feminism. Not hitting on a woman means a guy might be "shy" or gay? Go home, you're drunk. https://t.co/YsDuY8cwLt

I also don't take kindly to the participation of a media outlet in outing someone. That's a personal choice. @Slate https://t.co/YsDuY7UVTV

So @Slate would rather gay shame than allow a feminist to go scorned. Sorry, this thing has me livid. https://t.co/YsDuY7UVTV

To suggest a man might be gay because he doesn't hit on a woman perpetuates every homophobic stereotype @slate. https://t.co/WMaVpYNIRr

Dude goes to an event. Girl's mad he doesn't talk to her. Girl tells media outlet. Media outlet suggests he's gay. Feel good @Slate?
