Ashley Judd, Miley Cyrus has your back.

After the 43-year-old actress wrote an op-ed piece for the Daily Beast in which she slammed the media for pointing out her "puffy" face recently, Cyrus took to Twitter to let Judd know that she couldn't agree more with her stance.

"Thank you @AshleyJudd This article was music to my ears," the former Disney star tweeted. "Beautifully said and beyond inspiring. I hope everyone woman reads this."

Cyrus then added that she "mass texted [Judd's article] to all the beautiful women I love."

The 19-year-old is certainly no stranger to scrutiny about her appearance.

Back in November, critics trashed Miley for looking too curvy and this week she's fighting rumors about anorexia.
