In the 416-page tell-all, the 40-year-old showrunner accused the 'spectacularly rude' 42-year-old of screaming at her inside her trailer on the set of the series and 'hurled a chair at the wall next to me' as well as punching a hole in his own trailer wall.
Dunham also claimed Driver - who played her character Hannah Horvath's on/off emotionally-unstable boyfriend Adam Sackler - ignored the 'careful blocking' of their first sex scene and 'hurled me this way and that.'
'Stunned, I couldn't speak for a moment,' the eight-time nominee wrote.
'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?'
Dunham didn't feel she had the skill set to inform the two-time Oscar nominee, 'I am your boss, you can't speak to me this way.'
