Girls showrunners Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner at first defended Miller in a statement to BuzzFeed News: During the windfall of deeply necessary accusations over the last few months in Hollywood, we have been thrilled to see so many women’s voices heard and dark experiences in this industry justified. Miller looks forward to sharing all evidence and information with any and all authorities seeking the truth in this matter." Perrineau go to the police," Walerstein added in a statement.

Perrineau’s outrageous claims." Walerstein also said Miller was contacted several weeks ago by someone who, on Perrineau's behalf, "sought substantial monetary damages" from him.

But during every time of change there are also incidences of the culture, in its enthusiasm and zeal, taking down the wrong targets. It's a hugely important time of change and, like every feminist in Hollywood and beyond, we celebrate. In November 2017, Dunham released a statement about Perrineau's accusations and said, "During the windfall of deeply necessary accusations over the last few months in Hollywood, we have been thrilled to see so many women's voices heard and dark experiences in this industry justified. You have inspired me to do the same, and I know I'm not alone." She also expressed her admiration for Perrineau's mother, Brittany Perrineau. You have generously allowed me to speak about your many virtues here and tell these readers that you are moving on as a woman and as an artist. You've been a model of stoicism, all the while reminding other women that their assault experiences are theirs to process as they wish (with noise, with silence, with rage - it's all OK). You shouldn't have been given that job in addition to your other burdens, but here we are, and here I am asking: How do we move forward? Not just you and I but all of us, living in the gray space between admission and vindication."ĭunham also talked about her own experiences with sexual assault as she acknowledged such incidents are not isolated cases for women overall.ĭunham praised Perrineau and said, "Aurora - your bravery, openness, forgiveness, dignity and grace in the face of legal proceedings and endless questioning and in the face of my statement has been astounding. In that way, you have made me a better woman and a better feminist. "To Aurora: You have been on my mind and in my heart every day this year. I wanted to feel my workplace and my world were safe, untouched by the outside world (a privilege in and of itself, the privilege of ignoring what hasn't hurt you) and I claimed that safety at cost to someone else, someone very special. I didn't have the 'insider information' I claimed but rather blind faith in a story that kept slipping and changing and revealed itself to mean nothing at all. There are few acts I could ever regret more in this life. When someone I knew, someone I had loved as a brother, was accused, I did something inexcusable: I publicly spoke up in his defense. Dunham wrote, "I made a terrible mistake. She said she did not know that she would contribute to someone else's pain.
