Lena Dunham has apologised for her initial defense of Murray Miller, the 'Girls' writer accused of sexual assault by actor Aurora Perrineau. News of the accusations broke on Friday and, Dunham, and 'Girls' co-showrunner Jenni Konner, issued a statement supporting Miller. "While our first instinct is to listen to every woman's story, our insider knowledge of Murray's situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 per cent of assault cases that are misreported every year," they had said in a statement.
