Howard Stern is known for speaking his mind and saying some rather crazy stuff, especially about women and sex and boobs.

But did the shock jock go too far in his analysis of Lena Dunham?

On a radio rant this week, Stern focused his ire on Dunham, who gets naked and has A LOT of sex on HBO’s Girls.

 

Of Dunham, Stern said: “[She’s] a little fat girl who kind of looks like Jonah Hill and she keeps taking her clothes off and it kind of feels like a rape…. I don’t want to see that…

“She’s such a camera hog that the other characters barely are on. My opinion, if I was a producer on that, I’d say: ‘Honey, you’re a little too close to the project. You need to allow the other characters to breathe a little and let us get invested in them…”

But Stern did give Dunham the most back-handed of compliments: “Good for her. It’s hard for little fat chicks to get anything going.”

Girls Season 2 kicks off this Sunday. Did Stern go too far in his analysis of Dunham?
