Jack Antonoff, though not a pet owner himself, found himself entangled in controversy related to Lena Dunham‘s dogs in 2015[1]. This arose when Dunham drew comparisons between Antonoff, her Jewish boyfriend at the time, and her dog Lamby. Accusations of anti-Semitism flooded in from fans after Dunham’s article, sparking widespread criticism. Antonoff stepped forward to defend his then-girlfriend, Lena, amidst a storm of Twitter backlash from fans[2].

Directors

Lena Dunham is an American actor, writer, producer and director best known as the creator and star of the HBO show Girls. Through her success with Girls, book deals and a range of work in the entertainment industry, she has an estimated net worth of $12 million.

As a teen, she was already into creative writing and filmmaking, which only grew when she went to college. In college, she started making short films, both as an actor, producer, writer and director. She gained wide recognition in 2010 with her semi-autobiographical movie Tiny Furniture, which won an award at the SXSW festival. This led to her signing a script deal with HBO that resulted in the Judd Apatow-produced series Girls in 2012, with its fifth and final season in 2017.

She had four hairless cats as a kid because her mom was allergic. She said she’d love to get another hairless cat but will not buy from a breeder and will only wait till she finds one that needs to be rescued. She would also like to adopt more rescue animals if she could, including more puppies and a pig. A big supporter of animals, she has also used her Instagram to post photos of rescue dogs needing adoption for the See Spot Run rescue in New Jersey and New York City.
