Amanda Bynes' Conservatorship Ended After Nearly 10 Years

screenrant.com:

Amanda Bynes’ conservatorship has ended after nearly ten years. Prior to the conservatorship, Bynes gained fame through a variety of comedic shows and films. She first amassed popularity with the comedy sketch show All That and later starred in her own series, The Amanda Show. Her credits in the following years included the 2006 film She’s The Man, 2007’s Hairspray and 2010’s Easy A. Bynes’ conservatorship began in 2013 when her parents, Rick Bynes and Lynn Organ, petitioned for conservatorship over their daughter. This followed an event during which Bynes allegedly set fire to a driveway and was hospitalized on an involuntary psychiatric hold. The following year, Organ became the sole conservator, with full control over Bynes’ finances, location, and day-to-day activity.

In 2014, Bynes posted a series of inconsistent tweets, first accusing her father of abuse, then saying that the claims were untrue and caused by a microchip in her brain. Following this event, Bynes was placed on psychiatric hold in California, and during her stay, tweeted that she had been diagnosed with bipolar and manic depression. Years later, in 2018, Bynes interviewed with Paper Magazine and confessed that she had a dangerous relationship to drugs, saying she began smoking marijuana at the age of 16, and over the years, it progressed to the abuse of Adderall as well as the use of molly, ecstasy, and cocaine. Since 2020, Bynes was in a structured care facility for women dealing with a variety of ailments.
