Amanda Bynes Update: Conservatorship Won’t Be Reinstated Amid Psychotic Episode, Parents Say

by

After shocking the world with yesterday’s news, TMZ‘s sources are back with an update on Amanda Bynes. On Sunday (March 20), the former child star was found wandering around Los Angeles completely nude, reportedly coming down from a psychotic break. During her time out in the city, she apparently flagged down a car passing by, sharing her tragic story with the driver. After calling 911, the actress went to a nearby police station. A mental health team felt that a 5150 psychiatric hold is the best course of action in this situation.

Typically, someone on a 5150 would be in custody for 72 hours, though the timeline can be extended. As of yesterday, insiders confirmed that Bynes will likely spend a few days getting the help she needs for her struggles. Up until just last year, the 36-year-old was actually under a conservatorship, similar to Britney Spears, though she and her family felt as though she had made enough progress to regain control of her life in 2022.

Upon hearing the latest headlines about Bynes, concerned fans are wondering if her parents, Lynn and Rick, will be reinstating the previous court agreement. According to a source with direct knowledge who spoke with TMZ, there are no such plans at this time. The starlet’s parents are “deeply concerned about their daughter’s well-being and health,” but don’t want to take extreme measures just yet. From the sounds of things, her willingness to contact authorities on her own after coming back to herself naked in downtown Los Angeles proves that she’s self-aware enough to maintain her freedom for now.

Since her conservatorship came to an end, Amanda Bynes has mostly been taking positive steps forward in her life. She’s been living independently in her own home and has even been pursuing a new career as a cosmetologist by taking classes at a school in her area. Fingers crossed we see the Californian back on her feet and in control of her life in no time. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

It Sounds Like Amanda Bynes Just Dropped A New Trap-Heavy Rap Single Called ‘Fairfax’

by

If hip-hop is willing to welcome women like Bhad Bhabie into its ranks, well, why not Amanda Bynes? Arguably, Bynes has a better chance at succeeding in the genre anyway, given her actual background in entertainment, whereas the Bhabie was just the star of a viral clip. After recently filing to end her conservatorship, and succeeding in regaining control of her own life — likely due in large part to the scrutiny that the Britney Spears conservatorship case received — and apparently she’s ready to jump back into the public eye by making rap music.

Working alongside her fiancé, Paul Michael, today’s new song is actually the second collaboration is apparently the pair have shared in recent weeks. About a week ago a song called “Diamonds” was uploaded to the Amanda Bynes account on Youtube, but that song doesn’t feature Amanda’s vocals as prominently as this new song. Titled “Fairfax,” Bynes posted about the song on what looks to be her own Instagram account, though it hasn’t been verified yet.

While posting about “Fairfax” on the account, Amanda shared her frustration that Instagram had flagged previous posts for using the song. “Instagram blocked the last post of the song “Fairfax” because this account isn’t verified,” she wrote. “Because I own full rights to this song, maybe instagram won’t delete this post…”

If you’d like to hear the songs, check out “Diamonds” above and “Fairfax” at the top of this post. “Fairfax” credits Paul as “Paul Mitcheal” on Youtube, and notes the song was produced by Yung Yogi. Again, it might not be the greatest rapping that’s ever been done, but it’s nice to see Bynes getting back into the creative realm. If it is definitely Bynes, hopefully she can get the verification she deserves so fans know it’s really here.
