Dunham faced a backlash on Twitter after a 'racist' tweet she posted five years ago resurfaced this week.
The 30-year-old Girls star was blasted on Friday by Twitter users for the tweet that has been branded as 'gross' that she had posted back in July 2011.
'An uncool thought to have: "is that guy walking in the dark behind me a rapist? Never mind, he's Asian,"' Dunham's tweet read.
