Howard Stern has never been one to mince words, but he certainly caused a stir after calling Girls' creator and star Lena Dunham a "little fat girl."

On Monday, the America's Got Talentjudge discussed his distaste for the HBO comedy on his radio show. "It's a little fat girl who kind of looks like Jonah Hill and she keeps taking her clothes off and it kind of feels like a rape," he said. "I don't want to see that."

For her part, Dunham seems to be taking Stern's comments in stride. "I did find out that Howard Stern really hates [Girls], which I'm a Howard Stern fan and I believe he's earned his right to free speech and he should go for it," Duham said Thursday on the Late Show, according to US Weekly. She even joked that she'd like to have one of his comments written on her gravestone. "It's so hard for little fat chicks to get anything going these days."

The second season of Girls premiere Sunday at 9/8c on HBO.
