A writer for Lena Dunham's weekly feminist newsletter has accused the actress of 'hipster racism'.

Zinzi Clemmons, who writes for Lenny Letter - a newsletter Dunham runs with Jenni Konner - said in a post on Twitter on Sunday she could no longer work for the outlet because of Dunham's alleged disrespect for women of color.

Clemmons referred to actress Aurora Perrineau's accusation of rape by 'Girls' writer Murray Miller in 2012 when she was just 17. Dunham and Konner originally came to Miller's defense on Friday.

'It is time for women of color - black women in particular - to divest from Lena Dunham,' Clemmons (pictured) wrote on Twitter on Sunday

'It is time for women of color - black women in particular - to divest from Lena Dunham,' Clemmons wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

'She cannot have our words if she cannot respect us'.

Clemmons said she 'ran in the same circles' as people like Dunham and 'Girls' star Jemima Kirke while she was attending Brown University in the mid-2000s.

Kirke attended the Rhode Island School of Design, whose campus is adjacent to Brown. Dunham's sister, Grace, attended the Ivy League school. Dunham herself attended Oberlin College in Ohio.

She said Dunham and the women in her circle - whom she referred to as 'wealthy, with parents who are influential in the art world' - were notorious at the time for 'their well-known racism'.

'I'd call their strain 'hipster racism', which typically uses sarcasm as a cover, and in the end, it looks a lot like gaslighting--"It's just a joke. Why are you overreacting?" Clemmons wrote.

She claimed that one woman in the group was 'known to use the N word in conversation in order to be provocative, and if she was ever called on it, she would say "It's just a joke". I was often in the same room with her, but I never spoke to her, only watched her from far in anxiety and horror.'

Clemmons explained that she was appalled after Dunham voiced her support of Murray Miller following his accusation of sexual assault by actress Aurora Perrineau.

Dunham and Konner released a joint statement on Friday that read in part: 'While our first instinct is to listen to every woman's story, our insider knowledge of Murray's situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year.'

Clemmons said that the best way to show her dissatisfaction was to not support Dunham in any way.

'Let's hold Lena accountable, and to me that means sacrificing some comfort and a little bit of cash, in this moment,' she added.

Dunham did not directly respond to Clemmons's post. But hours before it went up, she posted an apology for her public defense of Miller.

The Girls actress issued an apology on Twitter following the backlash of her support of Miller

'I never thought I would issue a statement publically [sic] supporting someone accused of sexual assault, but I naively believed it was important to share my perspective on my friend's situation as it has transpired over the last few months,' Dunham wrote in a statement on Saturday.

'I now understand it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement and I am so sorry.'

The actress has not yet made any indication that she has changed her mind regarding Miller's innocence.
