I believe the answer is:

nourished

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supported' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'no problem with rushdie' is the wordplay.
'problem with' indicates an anagram.
'no' with its letters mixed up with 'rushdie' gives 'NOURISHED'.

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nourished that I've seen before include "Sustained" , "properly fed" .)
