Lena Dunham Says She Deleted Twitter Because of 'Deranged Neo-Cons'

Ryan Seacrest caught up with Lena Dunham on the Golden Globes red carpet tonight and she briefly mentioned having to tune out all the sociopaths on Twitter. Like a sane human being, she now never checks it. Except sometimes.

It’s the dark side of the Internet.
