Bynes has been a very well known actor for a long time, starting mainly with The Amanda Show, but making many other appearances in shows and films. Bynes then slipped under the radar for quite some time, and people seemed to forget who she was.
The last role we saw a healthy Bynes play was in Easy A, playing a hardcore religious goody-goody high school girl. Well Amanda Bynes could not be anymore opposite to that role now.
Right this minute Amanda Bynes is working out her release from a rehabilitation center, after erratic behaviour and trouble with the law.
It started with Amanda Bynes' twitter account. Many people thought this was just an attention getting stunt, but its clear now that it was a lot more than this. She did it all from lashing out on other celebrities, calling a young niece ugly, trying to get with Drake and discussing her clear obsession with plastic surgery. Below are some of the things Bynes shared to the world on twitter.
Many of Bynes' friends in the celebrity world showed concern towards her and reached out over twitter, to which she publicly ripped into each and every one of them.
Bynes also shared some less than appropriate pictures, showing her new appearance to people.
These pictures showed just how far the former star was falling.
Then came evidence of Bynes' drug use. It started with her throwing a glass bong out of her window in her New York apartment. She was arrested for marijuana possession, yet she still denied that she drinks or does any drugs. She actually threatened to sue police officers for sexual harassment over the incident
She was also arrested under suspicion of a DUI, but refused to take a breathalyzer.
Despite the former child star's constant denial of any drug use her parents recently stated that she is using drugs and has spent 1.2 million USD in the past few months. She also has extreme paranoia, covering up windows and smoke alarms because she doesn't want "them" watching her.
It's sad to see that like so many other child stars she fell into this world. It seems to be a trend, and its sad that the media drives people to this point. All of her issues seem to be related to the media, and stem from body image issues and the belief that she and others are ugly. I think the ridiculous pop culture and the attention to it in our society drove yet another young celebrity to insanity. Its what made Amanda Bynes go from this:
To this:
Amanda Bynes fortunately is getting help from a rehabilitation center, and is reportedly responding well to treatment.
This is so sad, I keep on thinking of her in hairspray, easy A, love-wrecked etc. and its so hard to see someone who always seemed so happy turning into this, I hope she gets better, but there is only so much people can do for someone struggling as much as she is.
