She’s been laying low the past few weeks amid a scandal.
But on Saturday, Lena Dunham was back on Instagram, lounging around in an Instagram Stories clip in which she relaxed while playing with two of her cats and catching up on her reading.
In the clip, the Girls star, 31, lounged in bed in a lime green top while engaging in a stream-of-consciousness rant about the menagerie she’s keeping at home.

Back at it: Lena Dunham, 31, was back on Instagram Saturday, lounging around in a clip in which she relaxed while playing with two of her cats. She had been ensnared in a controversy after defending a colleague accused of sexual assault
‘The rumors are true, I have two dogs and two hairless cats and if you want to come for me, come for me – I know that I’m a crazy animal lady,’ the Emmy-nominated star said.
Later, she added a cat-themed filter and joked, ‘Two can play at this game, there are multiple cats in this bed … three to be exact!’
The Golden Globe winner also filled in details on what she’s doing on the first weekend of the year.
‘For me Saturday is all about reading, so stay tuned, cause my book picks for 2018 are about to come at you,’ wrote Dunham, who later shared a collage of stacks of books she’s read.

Dunham emerged in the social media post after keeping a relatively-low profile the past few weeks, after she was ensnared in a controversy stemming from the ongoing national conversation revolving around sexual harassment and assault, particularly in show business.
In November, Dunham’s co-writer on Girls, Murray Miller, was accused of rape by actress Aurora Perrineau.
Dunham, in a statement defending Miller, inferred that Perrineau was lying about the alleged assault, which she said happened in 2012, when she was 17 and Miller was 35, according to The Wrap.

‘While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year,’ Dunham said in a statement with her Girls collaborator, Jenni Konner.
After massive backlash on social media – including from actress/feminist activist Asia Argento – Dunham backpedaled and issued a subsequent statement apologizing over her first take on the situation involving Miller, who has denied the claims made by Perrineau.
‘Every woman who comes forward deserves to be heard, fully and completely, and our relationship with the accused should not be part of the calculation anyone makes when examining her case,’ Dunham wrote November 18. ‘Every person and every feminist should be required to hear her.
‘Under patriarchy, “I believe you” is essential. Until we are all believed, none of us will be believed. We apologize to any women who have been disappointed.’
