Lena Dunham just told Ryan Seacrest on the E! telecast for the Golden Globes red carpet that she has quit Twitter because of “neo-cons” and other haters:
Lena Dunham has deleted Twitter app during #GoldenGlobes to create a "safer space emotionally". Noooooo. <3 WE LOVE YOU.

Here's Lena Dunham and Andrew Rannells. She says she's trying to quit Twitter because it's "the dark side of the Internet."

Love Lena Dunham calling her Twitter trolls "deranged neo-cons telling you you should be buried under a pile of rocks." #GoldenGlobes

Why @LenaDunham doesn't check Twitter as much as she used to: "People, like, threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am"

Or did she?
Lena Dunham just said she deleted twitter, but she tweeted three hours ago. Basically celebs really are just like us. #GodenGlobes

Let’s check her timeline:
Girls Season 4 premieres tonight at 9pm on HBO. No presh. I mean, who cares, right!?

Busted making stuff up … again.
Update. Neocon John Podhoretz, Editor of the neocon Commentary magazine and columnist for the neocon Weekly Standard tweets:
This is what one leading neocon wrote about @lenadunham in a leading neocon magazine: http://t.co/tjpAn13hYM

An excerpt:
HBO’s much-discussed new series Girls is just concluding its first season, and it’s extraordinary. Girlsoffers the most interesting and original televised portrait of upper-middle-class American angst since thirty-
something went off the air in 1991.
Over to you, Lena.
Update 2. Buzz Feed editor Kate Arthur tweets:
The @ replies even to *quoting* Lena Dunham make me want to leave Earth.
— Kate Aurthur (@KateAurthur) January 11, 2015
I'm switching over to @BuzzFeedEnt to tweet now, and because the wonderful anti-Lena Dunham people have made my @s a sewer!
— Kate Aurthur (@KateAurthur) January 12, 2015
And she’s blocking Tweeps for what looks like rather inoffensive comments:
Hey, @KateAurthur blocked me, following in the footsteps of many, many other terrified @BuzzFeed editors. What a silly site. @BuzzFeedEnt

Here are the two shockingly abusive, profane tweets which caused @KateAurthur to block me. @BuzzFeed @BuzzFeedEnt pic.twitter.com/FouT8dMxK1
