Lena Dunham claims ‘Girls’ co-star Adam Driver hurled a chair, punched a wall in explosive on-set outbursts

Lena Dunham alleged that her “Girls” co-star Adam Driver had shocking outbursts towards her on the set of the HBO show.

Dunham is promoting her new memoir, “Famesick,” and in an interview with the Guardian published on Saturday, her allegations about Driver’s temper in the book are discussed.

Driver — who played Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Adam Sackler, on “Girls” — was “spectacularly rude” to her, according to the book.

Dunham writes that the actor once hurled a chair at the wall next to her. She also alleges that he punched a hole in his trailer wall, and that he would scream in her face.

“At the time, I didn’t have the skill to … it never entered my mind to say, ‘I am your boss, you can’t speak to me this way,’” Dunham, who created “Girls” and was the showrunner — recalled in the interview.

“And, at that point in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses do: eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised by a male genius who would never do that,” she continued, referring to her dad, painter Carroll Dunham.

Dunham went on to praise other “amazing men” in her life.

“Judd [Apatow] is a great hero of mine; Tim Bevan at Working Title is a huge part of my life and so is cinematographer Sam Levy,” she shared. “I just worked with Mark Ruffalo, the most thoughtful, sensitive, politically engaged, beautiful person.”

“Girls” ran for six seasons, from 2012 to 2017. Driver appeared in all six seasons of the show, which portrayed the lives of four female friends in their 20s living in New York City.

Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet also starred in the show.

Page Six reached out to Driver’s rep concerning Dunham’s allegations, but didn’t immediately receive a response.

The “Star Wars” actor praised his time on “Girls” back in 2012 in a Q&A with “Interview” magazine.

“Lena’s characters — especially her female characters — are so three-dimensional and never seem in any way stereotypical, which was amazing to be a part of,” he said. “It was such a collaborative group of people on-set that you couldn’t ask for better circumstances. It was just so open and young.”

He also said Dunham had “insight beyond her years.”

“She’s also perpetually happy, which is awesome to be around — having her in the room is really the best scenario if you’re gonna spend that much time being really intimate with someone,” he said.
