Cyntoia Brown, a Tennessee woman controversially serving a life sentence in prison for murdering a man who solicited her for sex when she was a teenage girl, has been struck by the support she’s received from stars like Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna. “We were very, very appreciative of the fact that such an incredible number of celebrities would join our plea,” said Brown’s attorney, Charles Bone, according to The New York Times .

She later testified he had asked her if she was “up for any action,” according to the Associated Pr
