'I'm so happy that Britney's case is getting so much attention, and I just hope that she gets all the justice she deserves and lives the best life she possibly can,' Rodrigo continued.
She added: 'It's one example of this culture that so often tears down women in the spotlight for sport.'
Olivia said now is a chance for the public to 'reexamine the way' it treats female entertainers.
