Lena Dunham's sexual abuse controversy is still not dying down, and now the Girls star has released a statement to Time magazine apologizing for the provocative book excerpt.

As MStars News reported, in Lena's memoir Not That Kind of Girl, she writes about opening her younger sister Grace Dunham's private parts after being curious to see what was in them. In another passage, she even calls her actions toward her sister like a sexual predator.

This led to writers on the conservative blog Truth Revolt to say the HBO star molested her sister, which made her lash out all over social media. In her new comment on the controversy, Lena wanted to clarify her previous statements, including a passage from the book.

"I am dismayed over the recent interpretation of events described in my book Not That Kind of Girl," she said. "First and foremost, I want to be very clear that I do not condone any kind of abuse under any circumstances. Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors."

"If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention," she continued. "I am also aware that the comic use of the term 'sexual predator' was insensitive, and I'm sorry for that as well."

She also wanted to make sure the public knew her sister is OK with everything that was written about her in the book, "As for my sibling, Grace, she is my best friend, and anything I have written about her has been published with her approval."

Grace went on Twitter to stand up for her sister and defend her actions against the onslaught of criticism:

"As a queer person: i'm committed to people narrating their own experiences, determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful," she posted.
