While many Hollywood stars have remained silent about Dylan Farrow's allegations of sexual abuse by her adoptive father, Woody Allen, Lena Dunham has come to her defense.

Lena Dunham defended Farrow immediately after she penned an open letter in the New York Times alleging that the Oscar-winning director sexually assaulted her at age 7. Dunham also spoke out of her behalf on Monday, Feb. 3.

"To share in this way is courageous, powerful and generous. Please read," tweeted the co-creator of HBO's " Girls" on Feb. 1 along with a link to Farrow's NYT essay. "Grateful my timeline is full of so much love and respect for Dylan," she added.

In response to Farrow's letter, Allen's rep released a statement, calling the letter "untrue and disgraceful," while Allen's lawyer also denied the allegations, telling "Today" that Farrow was innocent and "the idea that she was molested was implanted in her by her mother."

Following Allen's statement of denial, Dunham returned to Twitter on Feb. 3 and opened up a discussion about sex abuse victims, writing:

"In wake of Dylan's letter I've noticed a lot of guys obsessed with the idea of being falsely accused ... as if you would just be walking down the street one day, get accused of assault or sexual misconduct, and suddenly life would derail ... Though there have, of course, been plenty of terrible and unjust cases in the past, remember ..."

"Most victims NEVER speak up. Most never feel they can. These are not stories we tell for fun, attention or revenge."

Cate Blanchett, who was one of the actors named in the letter for choosing to work with Allen despite the allegations, told The Guardian, "It's obviously been a long and painful situation for the family, and I hope they find some resolution and peace."
