Lena Dunham appeared to defend Jordyn Woods against the backlash over her alleged encounter with Tristan Thompson.

Girls creator and actress Dunham told fans that her “heart aches” when she reads the “media attention” on Woods after her dalliance with the NBA star, who was the boyfriend of her best friend Kylie Jenner’s sister Khloe Kardashian.

Dunham told her 5.6million followers about a time she “kissed her friend’s crush” and asked fans to “imagine what public shaming would feel like”.

A fan responded to her telling her that the situation was “very different” to that, prompting Dunham to stick up for Woods all while confirming her love for the Kardashian clan.

“I’m not coming for the K’s! I love and respect them,” the actress wrote.

“It’s just A LOT of media attention on a very young girl’s sexual choices and my heart aches when I see that.”

In the immediate aftermath, the price of Woods and Jenner’s make-up collaborations was also slashed.
