Lena Dunham is backtracking after comparing reading negative articles about herself online to domestic violence.<br />The Girls star/creator explained that she doesn't run her own Twitter account after being body-shamed and discussed the media gossip site Gawker and feminist blog Jezebel, which Dunham slammed in February for offering $10,000 for un-retouched photos from her Vogue shoot and then publishing the images.<br />Late Tuesday night, Dunham issued an apology on Instagram.<br />"In a recent interview I compared reading certain websites that have repeatedly insulted me to returning to a physically abusive husband again and again.<br />When I heard my own quote I was like 'Jesus, Lena, no,' " she wrote.<br />"I wasn't making a joke about domestic violence-I was over emphatic in my attempt to capture how damaging the Internet can be (not just to celebrities.)"
