Lena Dunham gives 'Camping' premiere a miss due to "chronic illness"

Lena Dunham could not attend the premiere of her own show, but the rest of the cast sizzled the red carpet with their inputs about their show, 'Camping.'

HBO's new show, 'Camping's massive premier was attended by the entire cast who kept cheering together, with just one person missing. Show's creator Lena Dunham, unfortunately, couldn't make it to the premiere due to chronic illness. The former 'Girls' creator took to Instagram on Thursday to inform her followers that she was "sorry to be missing the 'Camping' premiere."

"I’ve paid a lot of visits to the ER the last few weeks, trying to handle my symptoms so I would be able to promote this show I love so much, with these people I love so much. But my illness- which has come and gone but never full left- has made working challenging at best and scary at worst. I’m not strong enough right now to explain what’s going on, in part because my doctors are helping me figure that out. I’m so sorry to be missing the Camping premiere and the chance to celebrate with brilliant people," an excerpt from Lena's Instagram read.
