Odell Beckham Jr. responds to Lena Dunham controversy in a classy way
Recently, Lena Dunham had everybody’s eyebrows scratching their hairlines in an interview with Amy Schumer when she suggested Odell Beckham Jr. snubbed her during this year’s Met Gala by being on his cell phone.
Much of the internet was not having it and took Dunham to task for assuming Beckham even knew who she was, while possibly perpetuating racial stereotypes about black men.

When asked about the controversy, Beckham responded by taking the high road and not adding much fuel to the fire.
“I don’t have enough information to really speak on it,” he said in an exclusive interview with Complex. “We’ll see what happens from there. I never want any problems with anybody in this world.”

Dunham has since issued an apology for her comments, saying she was unfairly projecting insecurities about her looks onto the 23-year-old football star.
“I feel terrible about it,” wrote Dunham. “Because after listening to lots of valid criticism, I see how unfair it is to ascribe misogynistic thoughts to someone I don’t know AT ALL.”
