Los Angeles - Lena Dunham has reacted angrily to claims that she sexually assaulted her younger sister.
In an article published by right-wing blog Truth Revolt on Thursday entitled Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister, the writer cites a passage from the 28-year-old author's new book Not That Kind Of Girl claiming that it describes the star conducting an inappropriate act at the age of seven, on her one-year-old sister, Grace Dunham.
The excerpt reads: "Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked."
However, the Girls creator has furiously denied the accusations, branding them "disgusting".
Taking to her Twitter account on Saturday evening, she wrote:
The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn't just LOL- it's really fucking upsetting and disgusting.

— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 1, 2014I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I'd rather not hear. And yes, this is a rage spiral.
— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) November 1, 2014She ended the series of messages by revealing that her sister, now aged 22, had found the whole situation to be hilarious.
Sometimes I get so mad I burn right up. Also I wish my sister wasn't laughing so hard.
