Amanda Bynes' Parents finally take actions, requests conservatorship over daughter

[Jeffrey Jung]

Amanda Bynes' parents are taking a cue from the now dog-eared Spears family playbook.

The 27-year-old starlet's mom and dad, Lynn and Rick, will be in court Friday morning to ask that a temporary conservatorship be established to give them control over their daughter's financial and personal affairs, E! News has confirmed.

Their decision comes after Bynes was detained Monday night on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after allegedly setting a fire in the driveway of a home near her parents' house in Thousand Oaks, Calif. No injuries were reported and Bynes was not arrested, according to authorities, but bystanders have attested to seeing the actress' pants on fire.

 

One witness described Bynes' state at the time to E! News as "frantic and discombobulated."

Ventura County Sheriff's deputies eventually caught up with her and, per a sheriff's spokesperson, soon "determined that she met the criteria of a 5150 [hold]," meaning she had been deemed a potential danger to herself or others.

The Ventury County Fire Department confirmed that they received a call about a "miscellaneous fire" at around 8:30 p.m. and the blaze was put out by local residents.

 

If a judge grants her parents' request, they will be legally in charge of Bynes' estate for whatever amount of time the court sees fit.

Per California law, Rick and Lynn would need to show evidence that their daughter is unable to care for herself or otherwise handle her own affairs.

A source told E! that Bynes' pet Pomeranian was handed over to her parents after she was detained and they are currently caring for the pup.

This would actually really be good.

What was the reason she went completely insane again?

[Leo's Candy Jelly Ho]

Omg that's so fucked up. She started a fire and she didn't go to jail for it ? Fucked up society. That bitch should be in prison or at a rehab camp

[Hoplz]

I wanna see her acting like that in film cx I really can't imagine it...

"too absorbed for learning how to play a crazy bitch"

[Hero Kim Jaejoong]

I don't think anyone should have control over her money tbh.

[abraa]

I'm looking forward to the movie blockbuster about her

[craZee]

Hope they can help her.

 

Honestly, I'm so baffled by how she turned out like this.

It's speculated that Dan Schneider sexually abused her. There's no way to really know until she speaks on it, though.

The woman didn't press charges. She started a controlled fire, not arson.

She definitely shouldn't. When a person needs mental help, adding structure to their life is one of the best things you can do.

[~ PD Hercule Poirot ~]

Hope her parents will win.

 

I don't really think she's crazy, just that her 'rebellion' came rather late. She was a nice and sweet person throughout her teenage years after all.

[SchoolNote]

This was bound to happen seeing as how she is on a downward spiral. I hope for her sake that all goes well.

[l u n n a]

For real! I'm wondering what was the catalyst that started all this shit!

[kumi]

You guys still don't know that she's a flop bitch who was acting like this just for attention? Even if she is "mentally challenged" she's clearly taken advantage of that and hasn't even tried to get help

She crazy! She should go to rehab! That girl needs it

[shaghayegh]

what's wrong with this girl?!

hope her parents win 

[Meth Krystal]

I don't really think she's crazy

[CHRIS]

I wonder if she got the same thing Britney Spears had when she cut Hey hair off??

[anh.]

i hope she gets well soon

 

that is if she's not faking anything

[Jezebel]

.....  A person with mental problems isn't going to get help 100% of the time. You can't de-value someone because they aren't in a place to seek help. That's basically blaming the victim.

 

And I used to be of the opinion that she was faking everything, but medical professionals are saying otherwise.

 

omg do you run this

No LOL The person who runs that site is a feminist. It just happens to be a coincidence

There's no guarantee she's on hard drugs. The only thing she's ever done publically is weed, and weed isn't physically addictive.

Britney's situation was intensified by Osama Lufti. I don't think Amanda has a catalyst like him. Her problem seems to be a repressed one that's gradually grown over the years. Then again, that's all just speculation until she speaks on the matter.

i agree with this.

 

Crazy or not... she hasn't shown that she's incapable of handling her estate...that SHE earned... and her parents have nothing to do with.

She's proven that she is incapable of taking care of her physical self.

 

If her parents were petitioning for the right to have her committed.... i would be on board.... but petitioning to take control of her finances is something entirely different...and i don't support it... but it doesn't matter what i support so....

[Allegra]

Rumour has it that her being lonely after she moved to NY was one of the catalysts. I read that she is in a schizophrenic state and acts normally for about 10 hours, followed by erratic behaviour.

I know. ...she isn't running around spending her money like crazy so they don't need to control it. I hope they don't spend all her money up.

I stand corrected: Osama Lufti is involved with her. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/07/amanda-bynes-pal-sam-lutfi-britney-spears-former-manager-bought-plane-ticket/ That means her bank account is being emptied out at a rapid pace. I don't see why people wouldn't want her parents to help her out financially as opposed to absolute scum like this stealing her money. Just wait till she gets her life/career back on track; he'll sue her for everything she's got and spread career damaging rumors.

 

And taking care of someone's finances allows you to control a lot of aspects of their lives, something Amanda desperately needs. Her parents aren't going to rob her; they're going to get rid of money-sucking leeches and deny her from doing stupid things.
