Without mentioning the name of the actor, Armstrong wrote, "Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer."

Moreover, the musician, 38, added that after learning that Masterson was proven guilty, she has never contacted him since then.

Armstrong raised her voice for the domestic abuse by saying, "To say it as clearly as possible: I do not condone abuse or violence against women, I empathize with the victims of these crimes."

For the unversed, Masterson was sentenced to prison for 30 years last September after being convictedof two of three forcible rape charges earlier in the year.
