Actress Lena Dunham posed nude on social media to encourage people to love themselves more, the latest in a bizarre series of missives about weight gain and body positivity.
Posing naked amid a sunny backdrop, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress pledged to donate to the women’s organization Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, a charity that helps women suffering from alcoholism and drug abuse, for every person who leaves a comment on her Instagram with a reason why they chose to love themselves.
“Any negativity that comes your way is just an excuse to love yourself even more, right? Comment on my [Instagram] post with a reason you love yourself,” Lena Dunham wrote. “For every comment in the next week, I’ll be donating a dollar to @PeggyAlbrechtFH.”
The Girl creator has a long history of celebrating her weight gain. Last year, Dunham shared a before-and-after photo of herself demonstrating her substantial weight gain, which she said had left her feeling “happy, joyous, and free.”
In February, the 33-year-old reiterated her claim that she was feeling happier at a heavier weight, declaring she was in a state of “big, generous, jiggly happiness.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time in this life feeling like too much,” she wrote, alongside a photo of herself in lingerie. “Too hungry. Too anxious. Too loud. Too needy. Too sick. Too dramatic. Too honest. Too sexy (jk lol.) I was always sent the message, in insidious ways, that I took up too much room and demanded too much from life and sometimes gave too much to people who didn’t want any at all.”
A month later, she ended “a 25 year relationship” with her scale and posted a video clip of herself throwing it in the trash.
