After a ruling was handed down Friday in Kesha 's legal battle against music producer Dr. Luke , Lena Dunham has officially added her name to the pop star's growing list of fiercely supportive celebrities.
In an essay published in Tuesday's edition of Dunham's newsletter, Lenny Letter , the Girls star documented her startled reaction to the news that Kesha's request to release music outside of her contract had been shot down.
"The photos of her beautiful face crumpled with tears, the legally necessary but sickening use of the word 'alleged' over and over in reference to the assault she says she remembers so vividly-it all created a special brand of nausea that comes when public events intersect with your most private triggers."
New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich asserted that the singer would be able to continue working on her music without direct contact with her alleged assaulter.
