Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner announced a six-city tour Tuesday that will bring LennyLetter.com to life as a variety show. As it seems to be with anything remotely associated to Dunham, the live jaunt called "Lenny: America IRL Tour" has received significant online backlash, with plenty of trolls leaping at the opportunity to condemn those participating in the upcoming events.
Dunham was inspired to create The Lenny: America IRL trek following the election of controversial U.S. President Donald Trump past year (16). "People have a lot of really split opinions on social politics, but you basically have to be a mustache-twirling villain to have a problem with girls receiving arts education (sic)".
The actress is developing a Lenny Letter docu-series for HBO.
The show will feature Dunham and Konner, as well as nine other Lenny contributors, including Chloe Caldwell, Jenny Zhang, Kaitlyn Greenidge, Morgan Murphy, Katie Crutchfield, Rachel McKibbens and Jackie Novak.

Bartra is expected to miss the next few weeks for Dortmund . "My team is used to playing a certain way and that will not change". Some of the more experienced players, like 27-year-old attacking midfielder Marco Reus, have also been helping him.
Dunham and Konner launched Lenny Letter in 2015, and have since featured essays from Jennifer Lawrence, Ashley Graham and Alicia Keys.
The Lenny expansions are giving the "Girls" alums a new place to put their energies after wrapping the often groundbreaking and controversial series last week.
Jenni added: "It's been a very unusual week. Well, there you go!" said Dunham and Konner in a press release. Dunham's very white character Hannah Horvath gave birth to what appeared to be a black baby in the series finale even though the father of the child was played by Riz Ahmed who is of Pakistani descent and has a relatively fair complexion. The baby is dark-skinned; its fictional parents are not.
