To be fair, Selena apparently had a creepy intruder/stalker at her house several months ago. However, if she’s that scared she needs to either hire live in security or move.
Yes, the stalker showed up to her home multiple times in the past. I don’t blame her for being scared. That said, why don’t these rich celebs invest in some good security systems and cameras ? Also, she just recently bought her own home. Up until now, she’s been living with her family. She’s on her own for the first time, so that in and of itself can be scary for some at first, and then add a crazy stalker to the mix, and how would she not be on edge?
I couldn’t handle it with the stalker aspect. I’ve been living alone for a week while the husband was camping. I honestly slept with a machete type blade by the bed. I’m so easily creeped out. And I don’t have a stalker that I know of haha.
Buy a dog! I have a German Shepherd (she’s an old, sweet family dog). It doesn’t really matter what kind though. If you have an intruder, any dog will bark. At the very least, it will alert you that something in your house is not right.
Yes @ Sherry. Totally agree about the dog. I have a Rottie mix and she wakes us up whenever she hears things in our yard. They’re always other animals, though. We’ve had possum, raccoons and coyotes in our yard, but she would definitely make noise if she heard a human. My dog is also old. She’s rescue and we think she’s about 6 or 7.
@betty lucky you! Where do you live? I have never seen a coyote,a raccoon or a possum in my life!
Haha, Sherry I have a dog. She’s super bright, but not in the least terrifying. She’s an undersized german shorthaired pointer – should have been a good 60 or more pounds, but I don’t think she ever hit the 50 pound mark. She’ll bark, but unfortunately, she likes to ‘police’ the cats, so usually the barking is cat related, but still unsettling when you’re woken up to it.
Considering the number of celebs who have been outed for different things in the last year because of video from security cameras, I can see why someone might not trust that option.
While dogs are great at alerting (sometimes) that is a terrible suggestion for this case. Selena isn’t home often enough to care for a dog.
maybe justin threatened her or maybe she is smoking to much weed
LOL! I was going to blame it on her nose candy habit myself 😉
All jokes aside – poor thing! I hope she feels safe soon
What happened to CDAN? They turned the lights on and it looks like the aftermath of a deranged party.
Oh its way jacked up and I fear mutiny soon over there.
Cant figure out why they decided to fix what was not broken.
The worst part was during the unannounced changeover everyone was pretty much left to think for the entire weekend that they had malware and the site had not changed, this was actually posted on the CDAN Facebook page. So that was pretty shitty.
Not sure on the new look/format either.
I never commented there. But now it’s so scattered, I go to the page and promptly leave without clicking on anything. I have no idea what’s new or old. The ‘organization’ seems odd.
I’m kind of glad they’re updating – the old design was AWFUL – but this new ones not very good either. WordPress is great (I say this after spending the last two hours cursing at one of my clients wordpress sites while trying to make their ridiculous changes) but at the end of the day – most people hate change. I REALLY don’t like how the category column is – that flat gray with the darker gray border looks so so dated. If they’d have one side bar and the posts for the main content, it wouldn’t be as bad. Once they figured out what they’re doing with the right hand column it might get better – they could more the middle column over.
Paranoia is a common symptom of drug use. I hope this isn’t the case with her, and its just due to her past experiences with stalkers being traumatizing.
Lena Dunham is very creepy.
I really wish I didn’t click on that link..that was disturbing.
I think one child being curious about and looking at another child’s genitals is fairly common/harmless (in MOST cases) but the fact that she writes so openly and in detail about it is disturbing. Not everything needs to be discussed publicly.
@MollyB
Totally agree
I don’t really know what to make of it. I know kids have genital fixations long before they know what they are used for. At the same time, I don’t know if 7 years old is past that age, I am out of touch in regards to child mental development.
My first instinct is to think that since Lena in her description wasn’t trying to commit a sexual act or do anything sexual in nature, it is probably just a part of her exploration. On the other hand, I kind of doubt the idea that a 1 year old could, um, put rocks in herself, though. That part brings out my skepticism.
Bettyrose, I think she’s trolling too. And how careless is it to her sister’s feelings?! Unless she’s okay with that, but who would be.
Molly B, you’re right, what good is it to expose that?
I’m sure it was totally innocent child behavior but writing about it at all is questionable, let alone joking inappropriately about it. She’s just trolling for critics so she can play victim yet again.
The comments on buzzfeed were excellent. The whole thing is definitely creepy.
The #DropDunham on Twitter is interesting.
In one sense I feel bad that she is being labelled a molester on Twitter, because childhood experimentation happens, she was only 7 – however, it was incredibly bad judgement for her to try to make it into a lighthearted thing when her little sister was so much younger, it’s freaking weird and smacks of someone who has never been told “no” or “boundaries”. It’s not something she should brag about or try to write off as normal because frankly, well it was a bit odd/creepy, imo made more so by her writing about it like it’s totally ok to talk about a very primal form of abuse, even at a young age. Wasn’t this girl in therapy forever? Is she stupid? Where in holy h*ll was her editor in all this? She wrote something about her sister “laughing” about it on twitter but to be honest that doesn’t really excuse her writing about it. I think she could be in trouble career wise.
She also talks about masturbating in bed next to the sister when she was 17.
grew, I took to bribing her for her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a “motorcycle chick.” Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just “relax on me.” Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.
I shared a bed with my sister, Grace, until I was seventeen years old. She was afraid to sleep alone and would begin asking me around 5:00 P.M. every day whether she could sleep with me. I put on a big show of saying no, taking pleasure in watching her beg and sulk, but eventually I always relented. Her sticky, muscly little body thrashed beside me every night as I read Anne Sexton, watched reruns of SNL, sometimes even as I slipped my hand into my underwear to figure some stuff out.
Whatever filter she had at the start of her fame is gone. I don’t think she even realizes how bad she comes off. And how predatory her actions sound. Bribing for kisses? Well into puberty and still doing that stuff?
It’s odd.
Bettyrose
I agree. On some level she’s still trolling. Being as controversial as possible hoping someone takes the bait.
@KellyBee
No, you’re twisting her words. She only said they slept in one bed together till she was 17, nowhere does it say she masturbated next to her sister at that age.
+1 ,000
Her show is creepy, her photo shoots are creepy, her Interviews are creepy, and her book is extra creepy.
Why does she have a public platform? And why is anyone listening?
Megan Fox > Emily Ratatat
+10000000
That Emily Rathing needs to stop. Finito.
Totally. Megan Fox at least knows her limitations and seems to have a sense of humor about it all. I like her.
At this point Fox has a sense of humor. Emily might get there too when her career starts to fade out.
Her mouth is weird
Her mouth is weird.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Exactly what I was going to say, word for word.
Right? Check out that coke bloat.
Yes! My first reaction
What’s the difference from that to regular bloat? Could she just be on her period?
I saw the Lena Dunham stuff this morning and it really unsettled me.
1. Yes, most children are curious and do experiment with others at a young age, but what she described in her book is beyond that, in my opinion. Also, the way she described it was equally concerning to me.
2. She literally referred to her actions as “those of a sexual predator.” Not sure why she is suprised that people are like “yeah, sounds like a sexual predator.”
I’ve never really liked her, so maybe that’s partially clouding my judgment…. but this really disturbed me.
A 7 year old knows that’s not proper behavior. Her description of it is unsettling and the only reason I can think of as to,why she included it is ATTENTION!!!!!!!
Just read it–her description of it WAS very creepy. Oddly enough, when I was 7/8, me and my best friend started ‘exploring’–basically we kissed each other. We didn’t know WHAT we were doing, and it wasn’t because we’d been exposed to anything remotely sexual (I didn’t even really know what sex was up until sixth grade)–but we were curious. Naturally curious. And it was mutual–and my friend stopped when I told her that I didn’t think we should be doing ‘that’–I didn’t know what ‘that’ was.
But I can’t imagine doing something like that without consent–even if I was just being a kid, and naturally curious. As kids, we are taught not to touch other people’s property (TOYS) without their consent, especially from their room,etc–so why would their body be any different?
Lena is just so attention seeking to me. I don’t think that she cares about the ramifications of what she wrote–the way she framed it, how her SISTER feels, or that she even really learned anything from it. Except that she could *try* and turn it into a ‘witty’ story later…..
*Funnily enough, my best friend (from that time in my life) is a straight up lesbian (completely out and proud–her parents support her, and they’re Christians), and I am not interested in women at all…..
I know, girls experiment, but this is something I feel really uncomfortable with. Same age experimentation is well…less creepy. Lena probably didn’t have many friends because she was such a little weirdo. Her parents have a lot to answer for, and the fact she is now a grown woman who thought this would be humorous enlightenment for the masses, jokingly calling herself a sexual predator shows just how naive and immature she really is.
I think it’s natural for girls to play “Girls and boys”, or you know, young (possible) lesbians liking to “be the boy” – I know some of my childhood best friends were tomboys and always wanted to play boy games, which I didn’t mind because I didn’t have to fight those b**ches for the Barbies!
Seriously though, Lena needs to retract this sh*t – apologize for causing offense and possibly the book, she cancelled some signings which is at least a sign she knows she f***ed up, but she is still trying to play it cool on Twitter. Hipster rich girl entitlement is the worst, her narcissism led her to think she could write about this and somehow aggrandize herself. I am stupified.
I need to swear less…
Oh but you grown huh? Go back home with your parents child.
I will just go ahead and say it, something is really wrong with Lena Dunham. I don’t know if she just is super needy and has a constant yearning for attention, or she sees herself as some sort of hipster spokesperson who needs to constantly go against the grain. I understand that she was a child during these incidents, but they are just incredibly disturbing. Why did she need to put that in her book? Doesn’t she care about how this would make her sister feel? And her defense? Good for you if you were a kid and didn’t touch some other kid’s vagina?? What? No, I never did that as a child. Even if I had, would I need to put it in a book? I’m not a fan of the National Review writers twisting the words in her book, but those words on their own are already pretty upsetting. If she was a man named Leonard Dunham, people would lose their heads.
Some of the things she wrote made my skin crawl. Nasty, vile and just wrong. Being 7 doesn’t make you sexually abuse your baby sister for YEARS. She has real, sick issues.
And her sister did not want that information shared. By sharing that story in an extremely public forum, she is violating her sister all over again.
“Without getting into specifics,” she said, “most of our fights have revolved around my feeling like Lena took her approach to her own personal life and made my personal life her property.”
But Lena obviously doesn’t give a sh-t about others consenting. I grew up with two sisters and NEVER did any sh-t like that occur, but then again I don’t assume my sisters are my property. That sick sh-t is not the norm and to portray it as such is disingenuous. I strongly suspect that Lena is a sociopath.
I agree. Bad that it happened, horrific that she PUT IT IN A BOOK. Are there no boundaries anymore?
Her sister responded and doesn’t seem bothered at all. I’m sure Lena talked to her about it first. However, I cannot fathom why she needed to put it into her book in the first place. She must get off on the controversy and getting everyone riled up, even if that includes her own fans. I agree with the above commenter that there’s something not quite right with her.
Denise
Her sister has given mixed feelings. At 1st she has not pleased with the information going in the book and she wasn’t asked before it was added in.
Now, it appears more like defending her sister from being marked a predator/pedophile. And less defending the actions of Lena.
LD seems to my internet-arm chair psychologist self to be fixated on her sister for some reason. In another passage of her book she admits she was the one who told their parents that the sister was lesbian. And yeah, at 7, you know what’s appropriate and what’s not or at least you should. She needs help from someone willing to tell her the truth. Seems like for all her council ing she never had anyone tell her the hard truth and try to help her.
Is it just me or does her face looks strange? Like she’s bloated? Maybe she’s back on the drink drink.
yes, i never noticed a double chin til now
She’s always been super thin. I bet there’s drinking and some drugs. Still, I barely finish a single beer, am clear of drugs, and every 28 days I get that chin. It’s not always linked to drugs.
I can’t believe I have to defend Lena Durham over this because f*ck knows I don’t agree with most of her views, but while I found her choice of wording distasteful (though obviously hyperbolic), there is no way that I interpreted any of what she described as legitimate sexual abuse. She didn’t “experiment” with her sister’s vagina – she examined it out of anatomical curiosity to verify her mother’s claim that all girls had one. Weird? Yeah, but kids do some weird shit. Minor touching, kissing, and observation falls under fairly normative behavior for children. More explicit acts are considered abusive, but they also often suggests the child is suffering from sexual abuse. Kids don’t view anatomy and sex as interlinked as we do as adults, much less understand the nuances of consent and privacy the way their elders do. Honestly, the story is do bizarre and far fetched that I question the veracity of its details in the first place.
As for the masturbation thing…her sister was asleep, so I don’t see it as that much of an issue? I think of it as I would a teen boy jackingoff while his brother is sleeping in the other bunk bed? Your parents have likely screwed at some point while you were sleeping in their room – would we call that child abuse?
I dunno, am I just more liberal on my sexual views than most? It may be weird and squicky viewed from the lens of an adult, but from the less nuanced perspective of a child, molestation is not what comes to mind. My sister and mother were both victims of sexual assault in their youth, so that may be why it bothers me to see the term tossed around over it. I think the woman has issues (like not knowing when to use a damn filter), but child predator accusations don’t sit right with me.
That argument is kind of dead in the water when you take into account that this went on for TEN YEARS. Innocent curiosity this is not.
“Anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.”
@Veronica wow, first commentor I actually share the same thoughts with. And not that this counts for anything but I was actually sexually molested at a very young age and what Lena wrote sounded like a kid who was curious to me.
What LD wrote is really creepy! I grew up with two sisters and we never experimented with one another,For a normal person even thinking about touching or doing something of sexual nature with a sibling is disgusting and unsettling.
Selena seems to have the Lohan bloat/chin.
Omigosh, Lena may be a missing Kardashian! The smart one! I remember seeing one bit on the K show where they cheerfully admitted playing with poor Rob’s private parts when he was a baby. All three girls joined in. Lena just seems to have the same lack of boundaries as the K Krew. And no, she doesn’t sound like a sociopath. Really. She had a disturbed family life, but she’s just a writer. You know, open vein and bleed into the paper/onto the screen type. Writers overshare, that’s kind of their job. We’re just in an age where it all gets around so fast on the net, interviews, etc. so they are in our face way too much and can annoy us. I imagine we would have been equally annoyed if we got too much of such people (now famous and part of the literature courses) in the past.
Selena looks like a dark haired, older, Honey Boo Boo…. My first impression from the thumbnail.
