But she's not going to say Lorde's name.
So this is all happening around 2017, according to the book, which of course is when Jack Antonoff was working on Lorde's 2017 album, Melodrama, which he co-wrote and co-produced.
So Lena Dunn talks about FaceTiming Jack Antonoff while she was visiting her grandmother only, and this is a quote from the book, only to find him in the recording studio of her apartment where he was ensconced with a teen pop star I was too oblivious to be jealous of.
She then wanted to say that she kept noting that Jack would spend so much time locked in a room with this teen pop star whose needs seemed as massive and complex as my own.
And who, and this bit is like, I can just imagine someone making a whole TV show about this.
And who called me Aunt Lena when I hobbled into the kitchen with my walker to grab another bottle of green tea.
She should make the show.
Yes.
It's important to note that Lena Dunham had had a hysterectomy because of all her health issues at this time and she's in recovery.
Yeah.
And she said that like while she was going through recovery, Jack was just spending more and more time with this teen pop star to the point where they were just like each other's person to such an extent.
And she said that she brought it up to Jack how much like emotional time he was spending with this teen pop star who we know is Lorde.
And Jack apparently said to her, you're just mad because she doesn't want to be your friend.
And Lena Dunham said, and he was right.
So it's very, very messy.
She even talks about the time about people making some pretty amazing PowerPoints on the issue.
So convincing that they had me rethinking events for myself.
I dug up the PowerPoint.
Do you know?
Okay.
