Iggy Azalea has shared her support for Kesha yet again after a judge dismissed a number of the singer’s contentions on Wednesday, including that she was subjected to a hate crime by music producer Dr. Luke.

Beside a photo of the pair on horseback, Azalea wrote on Twitter, “Me and the very funny @KeshaRose on defender and biz!” using the hashtag #FreeKesha.

Other stars like Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift have previously come out in support of Kesha, who has been in a legal battle with Dr. Luke, claiming that he sexually and emotionally abused her. The producer, who has not been criminally charged, has denied the allegations.

After the star lost a bid to free herself from her contract with Sony earlier this year, a court sided with Sony and her producer/alleged abuser Dr. Luke again on Wednesday, due to the statute of limitations. The judge also said that the singer failed to state a claim regarding alleged incidents in 2005 and 2008, noting, “The claims of insults about her value as an artist, her looks and her weight are insufficient to constitute extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in civilized society.”

Kesha is also in a legal war against Sony, contending that the company “had knowledge of Dr. Luke treating female entertainers under his tutelage and supervision in the same manner as alleged here regarding Ms. Sebert, which includes both physical and emotional abuse.”

In February, a judge denied Kesha’s request for an injunction that would have allowed her to record outside of her contract. The judge reasoned that she could still record under her agreement with Sony using a different producer.
