Actress Allison Williams is playing coy about the opportunity of a “Girls” reunion weeks after her co-star Lena Dunham made accusations against Adam Driver in her recent memoir, “Famesick.” The showrunner, director, and star alleged that the “Star Wars” actor screamed in her face, threw a chair on the wall when she forgot her lines, and once even punched a hole within the wall of his trailer. Although Driver had “no comment” when questioned on the Cannes Film Festival, Dunham admitted in her tell-all book that she hasn’t spoken to the actor since “Girls” wrapped. The HBO comedy ran from 2012 to 2017.
Allison Williams reunited along with her father, Brian Williams, on an episode of his podcast, “We’re Back! With Brian Williams!” In a clip exclusively shared with PEOPLE magazine ahead of the episode’s official release, Brian asks his daughter, “Are we going to see the ‘Girls’ get together?”
“Oh my God, I might love that. The reply is, I hope so,” Allison replied. “I shall be there in the event that they call. I’m absolutely there.”
The series followed Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham), Marnie Michaels (Williams), Jessa Johansson (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna Shapiro (Zosia Mamet) as they navigated their lives in Latest York City. Adam Driver portrayed Adam Sackler on the series. Although he was first a love interest for Dunham’s Hannah, he ended up with Jessa on the series finale.
Williams Teases That A ‘Girls’ Reunion Is ‘More Likely’ Now
Williams went on to say that it’s “more likely” that a “Girls” reunion would occur now, provided that the characters are much older than they were within the initial series.
“It gets an increasing number of likely that each yr that goes by, because it might grow to be an increasing number of interesting to envision in with everybody, as I’ve, this yr, turned 40. Lena just turned 40,” she explained. “We’re in a brand new stage of life. I can be just so curious to meet up with everybody. It will be so fun to get the gang back together.”
When pressed by her father, Williams admitted, “You already know things that you simply aren’t presupposed to know,” after which doubled down, saying, “I’m not telling you anything. I’m not saying a word.”
This Isn’t The First Time Allison Williams Talked About ‘Girls’
She briefly discussed the feud between Adam Driver and Lena Dunham with Variety earlier this yr, claiming that she “can’t say anything” concerning the accusations. Despite that, she admitted she has a “lifelong bond” with Dunham and that the 2 “love one another.”
Proior to that, in a January 2023 interview with The Guardian, Williams admitted that it might be rather more difficult to create “Girls” today.
“I used to be pondering recently, if I used to be forged on Girls now, what would the experience be for me and I feel it might be rather more stressful,” she admitted. “I didn’t know anything.”
“I used to be 22 after I was forged on the show, I used to be 23 when it got here out. We were so young and it was loud in the way in which of watercooler and thinkpieces and Gawker was, like, obsessive about us and it was the heyday of that sort of thing but I didn’t have any sense of the right way to calibrate how big any of it really was,” she continued.
Williams Compares Lena Dunham’s Writing To Taylor Swift
She went on to check Lena Dunham’s writing with pop star Taylor Swift. Interestingly enough, the 2 are close friends. Dunham appeared within the singer’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2014. More recently, Swift made an appearance at Dunham’s 40th birthday dinner in NYC.
“It was really also diminishing of our skill,” Williams told the Guardian on the time. “I saw that Taylor Swift was giving an interview recently where she said that individuals were treating her music prefer it was a trick, like there wasn’t skill involved. And as one in all the nice living songwriters, I don’t understand how that is feasible, but I do know that’s the way it also felt, probably for Lena, that individuals thought it was just a few accident that she was writing these episodes or something.”
Adam Driver Is ‘Saving It All For My Book’
On the Cannes Film Festival, Driver was asked concerning the allegations that Dunham made about him in her memoir. He joked, “I even have no comment on any of that,” before adding, “I’m saving all of it for my book.”
In a single section of her book, she alleged that he was “verbally aggressive” towards her and “hurled a chair on the wall” next to her when she forgot her lines.
“Late one night, as we practiced lines in my trailer, I discovered that mine were suddenly gone. I knew I’d written them. I’d known them only minutes before,” she wrote. “But after I opened my mouth, all that got here out was a stammer — until finally, Adam screamed, ‘F-CKING SAY SOMETHING’ and hurled a chair on the wall next to me. ‘WAKE THE F-CK UP,’ he told me. ‘I’M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.’”
She also alleged that they once almost crossed a boundary of their relationship before Driver proposed to his wife, Joanne Tucker.
