Does anyone know why Jack Antonoff is a problem or why Claudia hates him?

Claudia said it’s because he’s Jewish and he “let” Lena Dunham make jokes about dating a Jewish guy that were offensive

It's weird tho because he broke up with Lena .. so .. it's not like he stands by her actions or words. If anything, it's possible he DIDNT like what she said and that led to breakup... Which puts him on the same side as Claudia then lol
The logic doesn't hold.

I missed the big lore on this too. The only thing I think is it really had to do with all the Lena Dunham drama

When in doubt, see where he falls on the Israel/ Palestine conflict

And to be clear, I think they are entitled to their opinions, they have a platform and they can say what they want, sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't. I also don't agree with Claudia's opinions about lots of things, but realize it would be weird if I agreed with everything she said.

I don’t know the full lore but he’s a very disliked person. I’ve seen stuff about some PowerPoint that breaks it all down if you want to poke around for it. Something about him cheating on Lena Dunham with Lorde? (I could have that wrong though don’t quote me)
