Over the years, Dunham has found herself in several controversies. Dunham compared producer Judd Apatow’s "obsession" with the rape allegations against Bill Cosby to an obsession with the Holocaust. She compared online hate from blogs to domestic violence, and she compared President Donald Trump to Dylann Roof, the man who murdered nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 because of their race. The actress and producer said that her father is her "best friend in the world," so him wanting to not be seen with her in public was the moment she understood "something was going on here."
