Fans have already come to Keira Knightley's defense after her "Begin Again" director John Carney trashed her; now, directors from her other movies are doing it, too.

In an interview with The Independent, Carney dismissed the Oscar-nominated actress as a "supermodel" who traveled with a large entourage, and criticized her acting. "I don't want to rubbish Keira, but you know it's hard being a film actor and it requires a certain level of honesty and self-analysis that I don't think she's ready for yet and I certainly don't think she was ready for on that film."

But other directors that Knightley has worked with rallied to her side on Twitter, like Lynn Shelton from "Laggies":

Working with #KeiraKnightley was magnificent, top to bottom. She is the real deal. #Knightleylove

Mark Romanek of "Never Let Me Go" also tweeted his support, and countered Carney's claim about Knightley's entourage:

My experience with #keiraknightley was utterly spectacular on every level. I have no clue what this guy is talking about. #arrogantshithead

My recollection of #keiraknightley's "entourage" was that her mum visited the set one day for an hour or two.

Lorene Scafaria, who worked with the actress on "Seeking a Friend For the End of the World," agreed:

.@Lieryn @markromanek I agree with Mark. Keira was a joy to work w/. Present & easy & really, really good at her job. Just lovely.
