Driver, 42, was asked about his portrayal in Dunham's memoir, Famesick, which was released last month. He said: 'I have no comment on any of that.'
He added, appearing angry: 'I am saving it all for my book.' He then appeared to mutter to co-star : 'I have no idea what she's talking about.'
Girls, which ran on from 2012 to 2017, starred Dunham as the writer Hannah Horvath and Driver as her toxic on-again, off-again boyfriend, named Adam.
According to Dunham's new memoir, their real-life relationship wasn't too different.
She said in Famesick that the filming of their first sex scene had gone wrong. 'Careful blocking went out the window, and he hurled me this way and that'.

She went on: 'Stunned, I couldn't speak for a moment, unsure of what had happened — had I lost directorial authority, allowed the scene to go off the rails, not given proper instructions? Would I be removed from my command post immediately?
'It wasn't that I felt violated — and I also wouldn't know if I had, as there was little in my sexual life that I hadn't allowed to happen, and for no pay. But I felt that something intimate, confusing and primal had played out in a scenario I was meant to control.'

She said that Driver walked out of the room after she showed him the pilot episode and didn't answer any of her calls for the next three weeks.
At one point during filming, her costar was frustrated when she forgot her lines and 'hurled' a chair against the wall. She said: 'I remember doing a fight scene with Adam and how scary it was to meet someone so totally present with such absence.
'Late one night, as we practised lines in my trailer, I found that mine were suddenly gone. I knew I'd written them. I'd known them only minutes before. But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stammer — until finally, Adam screamed, "F***ING SAY SOMETHING" and hurled a chair at the wall next to me. "WAKE THE F*** UP," he told me. "I'M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE."
