A parade of A-List celebrities are rallying behind convicted murderer Cyntoia Brown after 13 years in prison for a crime she committed in her adolescence.

Cyntoia Brown has been serving a life sentence since 2004 after killing a Nashville man who paid her for sex at the age of 16-years old.

According to Brown, after a childhood stained by abuse and drugs, she was raped and forced into prostitution by a pimp, and killed one of her clients out of self defense at 16-years old.

Despite her youth, Brown was tried as an adult and given a life sentence. The earliest she is eligible for parole is 69-years old.

The reason behind the sudden celebrity interest is still unknown, however the case struck interest in some pretty big names.

Kim Kardashian West tweeted, “The system has failed. It’s heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what’s right. I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown ”

A text post describing Brown’s history and trial also appeared to pick up serious steam amongst followers when it was shared by singer Rihanna on Instagram.

These celebrities along with a few others have spoken out about the situation and ways that they can spread awareness and help Brown receive justice.
