Lena Dunham makes confession about breakdown of Jack Antonoff relationship

  • Lena Dunham has revealed in her forthcoming memoir, 'Famesick', that she cheated on music producer Jack Antonoff during the breakdown of their six-year relationship.
  • She attributes the strain in their relationship partly to her chronic pain and increasing reliance on medication after a hysterectomy.
  • Dunham recounts a significant argument where Antonoff allegedly flushed her pain pills, leading her to seek comfort with an old school friend and sleep with him.
  • Describing herself as an 'adultress', Dunham also speculates that Antonoff may have been unfaithful, referencing public speculation about him and musician Lorde.
  • The pair, who dated from 2012 to 2018, have both since married other partners, with Dunham wedding Luis Felber and Antonoff marrying Margaret Qualley.
