Kanye West accomplished his goal of creating something provocative with the visuals for his song, "Famous."
But West's depiction of women naked and unable to move in bed next to Bill Cosby and Chris Brown to accompany a song that was called out for misogyny from the get-go is, of course, ripe for backlash.
While Taylor Swift hasn't commented on the video, which features her wax likeness nude next to West, her friend Lena Dunham spoke out against the video in a Facebook post.

"Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of dis-ease," wrote Dunham.
She notes that she grew up in the art world -- parents are both successful artists, Caroll Dunham and Laurie Simmons, whose work features sexual imagery and nude women. Her upbringing taught her that depictions nudity and sexuality in art can be crucial and challenging, "Because I know that art's job is to make us think in ways that aren't always tidy or comfortable," she wrote. "But this feels different."
Dunham doesn't like having to be the killjoy, but can't sit by and watch without saying anything.
I'm sure that Bill Cosby doll being in the bed alongside Donald Trump is some kind of statement, that I'm probably being trolled on a super high level. I know that there's a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I'm currently having. But guess what? I don't have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like, Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films. I hesitated a lot about saying anything cuz I figured the thinkpieces would come pouring in. But I didn't see this angle being explored as much as I had hoped. It's weird to feel like you're watching alone. I bet I'm not.
Dunham says she admires the Kardashians and believe they represent something important and knows that West can make great art, but great art shouldn't feel predatory towards women.
She also offers virtual cake, because girls just wanna have fun without feeling like their safety is being compromised.
