Amanda Bynes due in court on reckless endangerment charges

About time this happened. She is dangerous.




Amanda Bynes Placed on 72-Hour Mental Lockdown

Please. As if 72 hours will make any difference. She'll just get bored and do whatever she wants again.

...on a cold plate, mmmkay! *snap*

I'll be surprised if it's legitimately anything other than being immature and bored.

I think mental illness is clearly involved.

I'm actually starting to feel bad for her. Mental illness is no laughing matter. I wonder what triggered it?

Here is a report on her 2 week extension.


Amanda Bynes: Sources cite schizophrenia, experts seek 2-week extension

Nick Cannon wrote an open letter to her:

"Lately I have been hit with an onslaught of questions about someone I consider family, someone I watched grow up, and someone I genuinely feel is one of the most pleasant human beings I have had the pleasure of meeting, Amanda Bynes,” Cannon wrote. “The questions have ranged from, ‘Have you spoken to Amanda’ to ‘Are you working on her rap album.’ Sometimes I would answer in a playful humorous manner and sometimes I would brush it off as another pop culture topic that a reporter was trying to retrieve a sound bite for. But after recent events of Amanda being admitted under psychiatric care and reported as 5150, I see this as no laughing matter.”

While Cannon calls a career in entertainment “one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have,” he says “one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole.”

Before wrapping up his letter with some lyrics from Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me,” he addresses Bynes and offers help to his onetime co-star: So I say to my sister Amanda Bynes you’re not alone. I’m here for you. I understand. I care and I appreciate you, because that’s what family does and that’s what family is for.”


POPWATCH Amanda Bynes' breakdown 'no laughing matter,' Nick Cannon writes in open letter

According to the Daily Mail (I know, not the most reliable source), she asked the court to be released from the psychiatric facility but the judge refused after her doctors testified they are treating her for schizophrenia and will have a formal diagnosis within a few days.

She's afraid her parents will hurt her dog.

Amanda's mother has temporarily taken over legal control of her well-being and finance. Amanda's doctor will still maintain authority over her treatment.

I'm sure that she has no access to the media right now -- which for a multitude of reasons is good.

I wish her well. Sadly, as I'm sure some of you know, schizophrenia is frightening battle and one that seldom stays under control. We will likely continue to hear stories of strange behavior when/if she goes off her meds.

A horrible way to live. I have a cousin that has schizophrenia, and it's been horrible for everyone. He's had problems since he was 19, diagnosed at 23. He's 60 now and we often don't know where he is or how he survives. Then he'll show up and find his way to rehab and balance out.....then it goes out the window. Very sad. His lovely mum is still with us, and it weighs on her heavily.
