Lena Dunham 'frustrated' by weight loss debate

Actress Lena Dunham feels frustrated by the scrutiny women face in Hollywood over weight.

Earlier, the 30-year-old faced criticism over social media since her weight loss. She feels annoyed by the amount of attention her slimmed-down figure has attracted, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"It's just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like 'bag of milk' on the internet, you know 'baby cow', 'aging cow'. I just never felt self conscious about it," Dunham said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".

Dunham says she tries not to concern herself too much with the views of online trolls.

"Anyone who's going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet wasn't someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway," she said.

"I was frustrated by it because it really was evidence that as a woman in Hollywood, you just can't win," she added.
