So that's all fine and interesting and let's not come for law to anyone involved.
Someone I do want to come for is Adam Driver.
Have you read this part of the book?
Oh, 100%.
And this has turned me against that man.
And I know there's two sides to every story, but I do believe in this story there's really only one side, and it's Lena Dunham's side.
So one of the biggest parts in the book is where she writes about her time making the TV show Girls, which ran from 2012 to 2017.
A lot has come out about Lena Dunham on that set, sometimes being like difficult, emotional, hard to work with.
And you know what?
I'm sure those things are true.
And I know she does in this book write about the fact that if she had her time back, she would do it differently.
Of course she would.
She was in her early 20s and she was running, not only starring, writing a TV show, but also running it.
She was the boss and she handled things badly a lot of the time as we all would in our 20s.
And you're learning on the job.
100%.
Like, how are you meant to know?
And I also, whenever, because this is something that happens in media, it happens in entertainment, when you put sometimes the creative person in charge of, like, people management, it's never going to work.
Yeah.
It's a different skill.
