Lena Dunham is explaining herself after catching heat for an interview in which she paints Odell Beckham as a superficial, sex-obsessed jock who blew her off at the Met Gala.

Dunham was doing an interview with Amy Schumer in which she described sitting next to Odell at the hoity-toity NYC event back in May.

"I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, "That's a marshmallow. That's a child. That's a dog." It wasn't mean -- he just seemed confused."

"The vibe was very much like, 'Do I want to f*** it? Is it wearing a ... yep, it's wearing a tuxedo. I'm going to go back to my cell phone."

"It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, 'This should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.'"

Dunham has been catching heat on social media from people accusing her of unfairly portraying the NY Giants star.

To that, Lena says ... she can explain.

"[Odell Beckham] is talented, stylish, seems super awesome and wasn't into chatting with me at a fancy party."

"My story about him was clearly (to me) about my own insecurities as an average-bodied woman at a table of supermodels & athletes."

"It's not an assumption about who he is or an expectation of sexual attention. It's my sense of humor, which has kept me alive for 30 years."

So far, no word from Odell.

Katt Williams is the victim of a serious double-dipper -- that's his reaction to a comedian suing him over an alleged beatdown, because he says he's already forked over a settlement.

TMZ broke the story ... Ashima Franklin filed a lawsuit, saying Katt attacked and kidnapped her, but sources close to Katt say her suit is just a repeat of claims she made months ago.

We're told Ashima accepted a "small amount" of cash to squash the drama, and even signed a settlement agreement. Apparently, her lawyer didn't get that memo ... and went ahead and filed a $3 million lawsuit for her.

Obviously, Katt’s attorneys sent Ashima's lawyer the previous agreement, so she's dismissed the suit.

The USC football program has officially pulled defensive end Don Hill from the season opener in Dallas this weekend ... and sources tell us it's all because of his involvement in a rape investigation.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... cops are investigating allegations 20-year-old Hill and his teammate, Osa Masina, raped an intoxicated woman during a July 14th incident.

According to the search warrant, the accuser claims she was so intoxicated she could barely move ... but does remember both Hill and Osa having sex with her.

The woman claims Osa recorded the incident and Snapchatted it to her ex-boyfriend -- a college football player at the University of Arizona.

We spoke with USC which confirmed, "Don Hill was sent back home today for a violation of team rules."

The spokesperson would not get into specifics -- but our USC sources tell us the move is directly connected to the rape investigation.

Important to note, neither Hill nor Masina have been arrested or charged with a crime.

Dan Bilzerian's outrageous lifestyle -- sex, chicks, guns and drugs -- made him Instagram's king of the bros, but it's too hot for the app world ... his new emojis have been shut down. For now.

As we first reported, Dan launched "Bilzerian's Blitzmoji" ... featuring some seriously over-the-top images -- Dan doing coke off a model's ass, Dan's pet goat and Dan's pet goat with models. We'd rather not say what the goat was doing.

Anyhow, the honchos at Apple and Google were not down with the illustration of drugs or bestiality, and stopped selling the 'Blitzmojis.'

We're told Bilzerian's team is making changes and will relaunch shortly with a more PG-13 version.

Khloe Kardashian has a brand new star athlete in her life ... Cleveland Cavaliers stud Tristan Thompson.

The two have been spending some serious quality time together recently ... and Thursday, they were spotted at a mansion in Beverly Hills ... flaunting their impressive physiques.

Unclear if they're friends ... or more ... but we did see them out at Bootsy Bellows nightclub together over the weekend ... and they left the club within minutes of each other.

One thing's clear ... they definitely look good together.

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez doesn't care the judge in the Brock Turner sexual assault case followed the probation department's sentencing recommendation ... she's going for the jugular.

The California congresswoman -- who is running for U.S. Senate -- appeared on "TMZ Live" Friday and got into it with Harvey, who wanted to know if her plan was to scare judges into imposing sentences to appease the masses.

Chris Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, says a woman's claim Chris pointed a gun at her is nothing more than a false accusation made in hopes of becoming famous.

Geragos addressed the media Friday -- and made it clear -- he says no guns or drugs were found by cops in the singer's home. He also stated reports Brown's 2-year-old daughter, Royalty, was home during the alleged incident are total BS.

It's interesting ... Mark said his office is still investigating the validity of text messages Baylee Curran allegedly sent which show she was trying to set Chris up. Geragos said if it's found Curran did lie, he'll call for a criminal investigation against her.

Geragos was on "TMZ Live" Friday to discuss the case ... and has his own theory on Baylee's motives.

Brock Turner's gonna have a hard time finding a pool where he can swim when he gets back home ... at least that's what a local club is saying.

The president of Brookview Swim and Tennis Club -- just 5 miles from Brock's house in Bellbrook, OH -- tells TMZ if Brock were to apply for a membership there ... he'd more than likely get denied.

Scott Dunham says normally a simple application would be enough, but the ex-Stanford swimmer is a special case. Dunham says he'd have to take Turner's application before the club's board of trustees and stockholders.

They'd get final say, and Dunham believes they would not hesitate to shoot down the convicted sex offender. He adds ... nobody in the community is happy about Turner's homecoming.

Bad news for Kim Zolciak ... the Buffalo Bills have 86'd her husband, Kroy Biermann, in their latest round of cuts.

Brock Turner is getting a jarring return to society ... getting hammered with questions about his sexual assault victim, his life in jail and what the future holds.

Shortly after the ex-Stanford swimmer walked out of Santa Clara County Jail, his parents whisked him away to a nearby hotel. Reporters were waiting, and unloaded on the Turners.

James Taylor and Vinny Ventiera were just friends when they were vying for JoJo Fletcher's love on TV ... now they're bonafide beach buds.

We got the two axed 'Bachelorette' stars getting in some QT in Cancun, where they hit the waves ... and gave up tons of high fives -- a telltale sign of bros for life.

James and Vinny even chatted up some chicks at a restaurant nearby.

"Lost" and "Once Upon A Time" star Emilie de Ravin says an American Airlines gate agent attacked her because she was trying to fly with her breast pump bag, but the airline is calling it a big misunderstanding.

American Airlines tells TMZ it's still investigating Emilie's claim she had one of her 3 carry-on bags forcibly ripped from her while boarding a flight Thursday at LAX. The extra bag was for the pump, which she's allowed to bring since it's considered a medical device.

Sources tell us the flight was at capacity and the gate agent wanted to have one of the bags tagged, but Emilie wasn't having it. She was eventually allowed on with her pump and the other two bags, but still went off on Twitter.

AA says it's apologized for the inconvenience.

Jon Polito -- best known for his roles in Coen Brothers films like "The Big Lebowski" and "Miller's Crossing" -- died Thursday night after being taken off life support ... according to family sources.

We're told Jon was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2008 -- he was also suffering from arthritis and had an infection related to a recent surgery. He slipped into a coma last Sunday.

Director John McNaughton broke the news Friday morning -- "Jon was a born actor and will be deeply missed by his legion of friends, fans, family and of course his long time partner, Darryl Armbruster to whom I send my condolences. R.I.P. old pal."

The Philly native was a seasoned Hollywood vet, landing roles in nearly 100 movies. He also has several TV credits, including a recurring role on ABC's "Modern Family."

He was 65.
