Girls star Lena Dunham is reportedly quitting Twitter after she received a number of death threats and a variety of insults.
The actress told reporters at Sunday night’s Golden Globes that she is “trying to create a safer place for myself. People threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am.”
She also revealed that she no longer checks her social media accounts as regularly as she used to due to the negativity.
“I check it occasionally but it’s not the same co-dependence. A lot of people I love on the internet but you can’t read those without reading deranged neo-cons telling me I should be buried under a pile of rocks.”
The 28-year-old however, who has nearly two million followers, continued to tweet throughout the night about the Golden Globes ceremony.
She was also snapped in a topless picture posted to Instagram by producer Jenner Konner with the caption ‘#FreeTheNipple cover’.
