LENA Dunham has made claims that a ‘feral’ Adam Driver screamed and ‘hurled a chair’ on the set of Girls after she missed her lines.
In the show created and starring Lena, 39, her character Hannah Horvath was in an on-off relationship with Adam’s character Adam Sackler.
In Lena’s brand new memoir Famesick, the actress alleges that her Girls co-star, 42, exhibited “violent” and “feral” behavior on the set of the popular HBO series.
She even described him as “spectacularly rude” and recounted instances of him allegedly screaming and throwing furniture.
Lena described Adam as “half-man, half-beast” as she claimed how Adam was “occasionally violent”.
In one part of the book, Lena alleged Adam threw a chair at the wall next to her when they were running lines.
Lena claimed she was unable to get her words out but says this was due to her dissociating because of her then-undiagnosed endometriosis.
In her book, Lena recalled: “I remember doing a fight scene with Adam and how scary it was to meet someone so totally present with such absence.
“Late one night, as we practiced lines in my trailer, I found that mine were suddenly gone. I knew I’d written them. I’d known them only minutes before.
“But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stammer—until finally, Adam screamed, ‘F**KING SAY SOMETHING’ and hurled a chair at the wall next to me.”

She then alleged he said: “WAKE THE F**K UP,” adding how he allegedly fumed: “I’M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.”
The U.S. Sun reached out to Adam’s representative for comment.
Lena went on to say that she said her lines correctly after the incident.
She later noted: “Adam hated his new haircut and had punched a hole in his trailer wall.”
Lena also opened up about sex scenes in Girls and how intimacy coordinators were used far less frequently at the time of the show being in production.
But Lena wanted to cultivate a “safe” environment on set when it came to sex scenes.
She claimed in her book how the “careful blocking went out of the window” when filming intimate scenes, because Adam would allegedly “hurl me this way and that”.
Lena alleged: “Part of me was afraid that when I turned around, I would find I was suddenly in a full-penetration 1970s porno.
“But after a few mimed thrusts, I called cut,” she wrote.
According to Lena, when Adam wrapped his final scene for Girls, at the end of season six in 2016, he told her: “I hope you know I’ll always love you.”
She then revealed how she “never heard from him again” after that.
