Professional Girl(s), author and staunch anti-body shamer, Lena Dunham (no relation to Jeff Dunham. I mention it because I always have to check. I love puppets. So sue me!) went to the hospital last night because of a ruptured ovarian cyst. Lena has talked before about dealing with endometriosis. Lena’s rep released a statement to People yesterday:
“Lena Dunham has been very public with her personal bouts with endometriosis. This morning, she suffered from an ovarian cyst rupture and has been taken to the hospital. Lena will be undergoing surgery at an undisclosed hospital. We thank you for you understanding and hope that Lena’s privacy will be respected.”
In February, Lena went on Instagram to let fans and non-fans alike know that she wouldn’t be doing press for the latest season of Girls because of her condition. The disease is chronic so flare ups are common and like any chronic disease, the sufferer needs to rest their ass.
While I’m not a fan of her show, I’m also not a fan of people being sick. Let’s hope she gets better and gets back to work, including hawking Goop’s skincare line on Instagram. Gwyneth needs her!
