Amanda Bynes’ Life After Psychiatric Hold Is “Sad And Isolated,” Sources Say

It’s been over a month since we reported that Amanda Bynes was released from the hospital following a lengthy psychiatric hold. Prior to checking herself in for help, the Hairspray actress was found wandering naked through downtown Los Angeles while coming out of a psychotic break. Her parents have expressed no plans to reinstate the embattled starlet’s conservatorship, though a new report from TMZ reveals that life since leaving the hospital hasn’t been so cheery for Bynes.

Sources close to the 37-year-old said she’s presently focusing on where she’s going next in life while prioritizing her medical needs. She apparently doesn’t have many people in her life at this time and isn’t putting the same energy into her passions as she was before her incident. Though she no longer acts, Bynes has poured plenty of time into other creative pursuits, such as fashion design and pursuing the art of being a nail technician.

Though she’s not quite her normal self again just yet, the California native has been diligent in attending her outpatient appointments. Additionally, she’s been spending time speaking with therapists and staying on top of her medications. It’s certainly sad to hear that Bynes has been mostly alone, but friends are happy to see she hasn’t reunited with her toxic ex, Paul Michael. The pair were planning a wedding, though he wasn’t adequately supporting his partner while she was struggling.

For the time being, the former child star is apparently in frequent contact with her parents and siblings. Despite her rocky relationship with them in the past, they’ve become a strong support system for their daughter as she gets back on her feet following another bout of turmoil. Which of Amanda Bynes’ past works is your favourite? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

YSL RICO Co-Defendant, Cordarius Dorsey, Charged With Murder In 2020 Shooting

The long-spanning YSL RICO trial has taken yet another unexpected turn, according to a new report from AllHipHop. It seems that a co-defendant of Young Thug’s, Cordarius Dorsey, is facing murder charges after being accused of killing Xavier Arlandor Turner in January 2020. The Slaughter Gang member is already serving a life sentence for partaking in a 2019 slaying, for which he was granted no parole.

Documents claim that Dorsey shot Turner and another man at the Old National Village Discount Mall. At the time, the group reportedly got into an altercation with the alleged killer, and after firing his weapon, he fled the scene in a black Nissan. Aside from these new charges, it’s also been argued by authorities that the YSL member was part of a “violent gang” under Young Thug’s leadership, during which time he aided in various violent crimes across metro Atlanta.

This isn’t the only troubling headline we’ve heard from the Fulton County courtroom in recent weeks. Several of the public defenders involved in the trial previously came forward with complaints about being severely underpaid. While one told the media he could bring in more money from working at a fast food restaurant, another said that she’s considering starting an OnlyFans profile seeing as she’s unable to take on any other clients at this time.

Thankfully, the hardworking attorneys were granted a substantial pay raise, though they still have plenty of work ahead of them. Aside from that, we’ve also had another co-defendant involved in the trial be officially severed after receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis. Prior to that, he publicly claimed to be receiving aid from Donald Trump, causing many to question his sanity. Do you think that Young Thug will ever be a free man again?

Rick Ross Reacts To Officials Denying Car & Bike Show Event Permit: “It Must Go On”

Rick Ross won’t take no for an answer. As the Biggest Boss has been busy preparing for his upcoming annual car and bike show, his plans have been hit with a major roadblock. Documents obtained by XXL on Tuesday (May 16) reveal that his permit has been denied by Fayette County, who are prohibiting him from hosting the event at his Georgia mansion on June 3. The specific reason for the denial is that the permit “is not in compliance with Fayette County Zoning Ordinance.”

“Any decision to allow the 2022 event to move forward as a conditional use in the A-R Zoning District was made outside of the scope of authority of the then acting Director of Planning & Zoning/ Zoning Administrator,” the document further states. Ross has been talking about the event non-stop (particularly during his recent Drink Champs interview) and clearly isn’t letting the bureaucratic rain ruin his parade. He took to his Instagram Story this afternoon, letting fans know he has no plans of cancelling.

Tickets are still available online. It’s going to be a beautiful event. Shoutout to the beautiful city of Fayetteville.” Rather than letting the denial get him down, the Mississippi-born lyricist is embracing the challenges coming his way as he moves forward.

“This when I become great during the challenges. That’s what I like. That’s why I was always one to initiate certain things because I love the challenge. I don’t have a problem going against the challenges because Ricky Rozay ready. Is it really a challenge?” he asked followers tuning in.
