Actress Allison Williams was asked about the accusations against her ‘Girls’ co-star Lena Dunham done against Adam Pilote in his new memoir, “Famesick.” Although Dunham opens up about her health, high-profile relationships and career in the tell-all book, many fans were surprised to hear the accusations she made against the “Star Wars” actor.
Lena Dunham accused Adam Driver of throwing a chair

In her tell-all memoir, “Famesick,” Dunham alleges that Driver threw a chair at a wall near her, punched a hole in the wall of her trailer and screamed in her face when she forgot lines while they were rehearsing.
“At the time, I didn’t have the skills to… it never occurred to me to say, ‘I’m your boss, you can’t talk to me that way,'” Dunham wrote in the book, according to Entertainment Weekly. “And, at that point, in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses did: eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised by a male genius who would never do that.”

“Girls” co-star Allison Williams was asked about Driver’s alleged behavior at a recent event. She told Variety that she had an “ongoing bond” with Dunham, adding, “We love each other” before avoiding the allegations.
“I don’t know. I also just read the pilot in the book,” Williams said. “I was just saying the most surprising thing was almost I thought she was going to write that I was 40 minutes late, and then I saw the word ‘early’ and I was like, ‘It’s more of a brand thing.’ But no, I have to read it before I say anything about it.
Lena Dunham says she hasn’t spoken to Adam Driver since ‘Girls’ ended
“Girls” ended its six-season run on HBO in April 2017, while Driver was in the midst of the success of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. In an excerpt from the book obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Dunham claims she hasn’t spoken to the “Marriage Story” actor since filming wrapped.
“In the car, he held my hand in silence,” Dunham said, explaining that he and his wife, Joanne Tuckerlived “right across the street” from her.
She wrote: “When we reached our block, he hugged me. I let him kiss me on the cheek, on my forehead. ‘You too,’ I chirped. ‘I know we’ve had tough times, that we’re really different people. I’m sorry if the way I was was never right for…the way you are.’ I didn’t know how else to say it.
She then claimed he said, “That was exactly what was needed” and joked that he looked “like a Jedi,” adding, “Maybe he had learned a few tricks.” She then alleged that he told her, “I hope you know I will always love you.”
She ended the passage by stating that although she hoped it would open a new chapter, “I never heard from him again.”
Lena Dunham claims she and Adam Driver almost crossed a boundary
Although Driver married his wife, Joanne Tucker, in 2013, Dunham alleged that they almost crossed a line in their relationship when his parents were out of town and his wife (then girlfriend) was performing in a play in Cincinnati.
“I spent an awful lot of time wondering if Adam even liked me,” Dunham wrote in his memoir. “He could be angry and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing. He could also be protective, even loving.”
One day, as he was leaving a theater, she says he called her to ask if she was still awake after visiting him “almost every night” that week. She claims he said, “Okay. I’m coming down to you. But I’m warning you, if I go up, I’m not leaving this time.”
Lena Dunham Claims Adam Driver Got Engaged One Month After Incident
Although she initially told him to come, she decided not to answer his call.
“It was as simple as ignoring your doorbell, pretending to be asleep, as impossible as stopping your blood from flowing,” she wrote. “But part of me knew – a wise part of me, a bold part of me – that if we crossed the line we might cross, the return to work would be tinged with humiliation, that I would minimize any authority I still had, and that, no matter what, my heart – bruised but probably not yet broken – would break.”
She claims that a month later he called her to tell her he was engaged. “It was absurd to be heartbroken, to think that I meant something, that I occupied a role beyond distraction. I was his scene partner, of course, and so when we were in a scene, his attention was piercing, his presence all-consuming,” she wrote. “But in life? I would never be the one to keep him in line. I didn’t have the means. Even at work, I couldn’t do it, in the one place where I was supposed to make the rules.”
The driver has not yet commented on these allegations.
