A controversial passage in her memoir Not That Kind of Girl resulted in Girls creator and star Lena Dunham to be accused of being a sexual predator by right-wing blog Truth Revolt. Dunham issued an official apology for the passage on Tuesday, stating that she doesn’t condone abuse “under any circumstances.”

In Not The Kind of Girl, Dunham recalls a memory in which she leaned down between her then one-year-old sister’s legs, only to discover that it was filled with “six or seven pebbles.” While this was intended to be a humorous anecdote, it caused Truth Revolt to publish a blog last Thursday entitled ‘Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister.”

Dunham initially reacted with outrage over the blog post, tweeting that “the right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn’t just LOL- it’s really f**king upsetting and disgusting. I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I’d rather not hear. And yes, this is a rage spiral.”

However, in a statement to Time on Tuesday, the 28-year-old Golden Globe winning actress expressed her sadness over the interpretation of the memoir passage and apologized.

“I am dismayed over the recent interpretation of events described in my book ‘Not That Kind of Girl’. First and foremost, I want to be very clear that I do not condone any kind of abuse under any circumstances,” stated Dunham. “Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors. If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention. I am also aware that the comic use of the term ‘sexual predator’ was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well.”

Dunham added that, while the passage and Truth Revolt’s interpretation of it was likely embarassing for her sister, Grace, “anything I have written about her has been published with her approval.”
