Lena Dunham Will Pay Book Tour Opening Acts

Following the news that Lena Dunham would not be paying the opening acts throughout her upcoming book tour, the GIRLS creator and star has reversed her decision.

Taking to Twitter to announce the news, Dunham posted:

"Some good points were raised and I've ensured that all opening acts will be compensated for their time, their labor and their talents."

The flip-flop comes after The New York Times reported that the selected group would be "the warm-up acts -performing free of charge - on an elaborately produced, 11-city tour to promote Ms. Dunham's new book, "'Not That Kind of Girl.'"
