On Tuesday, actress Tessa Thompson shared a statement on Twitter clarifying her previous criticism of Lena Dunham. Thompson wrote, ?A response I made to comments on an Instagram became fodder for a piece that I believe was designed to create conflict where there isn?t any.? She added that she doesn't ?want to diminish Lena Dunham and her work, her voice, and her importance." On Sunday, Thompson posted a photo to Instagram of Dunham, Michelle Williams, Reese Witherspoon, Rashida Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Emma Stone as part of the Time?s Up initiative. Thompson responded to comments, writing, ?Lena was not anywhere present in our group during the countless hours of work for the last two months. We hosted an open house for the actresses for red carpet messaging and Lena presence was a surprise to us all."
