Lena Dunham has spoken out against Kanye West’s provocative new “Famous” video, calling it both “sickening” and “disturbing”.

The controversial clip – released this weekend – features appearances from a number of naked celebrity waxworks; including Taylor Swift, Anna Wintour, Rihanna and Amber Rose. Inspired by artist Vincent Desiderio, it consists of lingering close-ups of the model’s breasts and faces, and appears to depict a mass orgy or a grainy celebrity sex tape.

In an open Facebook post last night, Dunham shared the discomfort she felt while watching the clip. “The ‘Famous’ video is one of the more disturbing ‘artistic’ efforts in recent memory,” explained the Girls writer. “Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of dis-ease.”

Dunham went on to assure that the nudity in the video – which also features waxworks of Donald Trump, Bill Cosby and George Bush – was not necessarily the problem. “I know that art’s job is to make us think in ways that aren't always tidy or comfortable,” she continued. “But this feels different.”

“Seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn’t look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films.”
