Amanda Bynes has been placed on a psychiatric hold after she was found roaming the streets naked and alone ... TMZ has learned.
An eyewitness tells us ... Bynes was seen walking near downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning without any clothes. We're told Bynes waved a car down, telling the driver she was coming down from a psychotic episode. Amanda herself then called 911.
Our law enforcement sources say Bynes was taken to a nearby police station, where a mental health team determined she needed to be placed on a 5150 psych hold.
Fortunately, our sources say it doesn't appear Bynes was hurt at all during the ordeal, though things could've been much worse given the area where she was found.
A source close to Amanda tells us she's currently hospitalized, and will likely continue to receive care for several days. Typically, a psychiatric hold only lasts 72 hours, but it can be extended.
It was almost one year to the day when Amanda's 9-year conservatorship was officially terminated. Amanda's mother was her conservator starting back in 2013 when it was clear she was having issues with her mental health -- she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After a series of bizarre incidents -- including one where she set her neighbor's driveway on fire, almost engulfing her dog in flames -- she was sent to a psychiatric ward for treatment.
Interestingly enough, Amanda was supposed to attend 90s Con in Connecticut this weekend, an event she canceled on due to illness.
Since the conservatorship ended, Amanda seemed to be doing well for herself, though the most recent incident is obviously very concerning ... it's unclear if her parents or legal team will step in.
Aww I always liked her. She didnt seem to be the usual drugged out child star. I know her parents had conservatorship of her for along time. Hope she finds peace.
The same kind of parent who would put their daughter in child beauty pageants(John and Patsy Ramsey).
I can see what youre seeing but thats Jennifer Lawrence.
Another Disney victim?
She was in her fugue state.
She narrowly missed 1) getting killed by cartel and 2) being caught by DEA at a cartel hideout. She needed a cover story for her whereabouts.
No, he is correct. Sadly., those pics are BOTH of poor raped, abused, and reportedly bipolar Amanda.
Well at least they didn’t shoot her dead for it...
Thankfully she didn’t flag Mike Pence down.
Who?
This and it is tragic.
A former child star who was quite beautiful in her teens and 20s, who has now arrived at 36 with no money, no skills that could maintain her former lifestyle, too crazy for any man to want to get involved with her (except maybe Laz), and she cannot deal with her current life.
Interesting—hope she got that microchip removed from her brain...
;-)
Thats a different gif than I thought he was referring to but I imagine that there certainly could be more than one.
Wikipedia page said she has “struggled with substance abuse”.
If she had her dog with her, they both might likely be dead.
yeah I guess so. Ty
For a moment, I thought it was that woman who was up on a murder charge in Italy a few years.... but that was Amanda Knox.
I think the girl gif you mentioned is actually the actress Jennifer Lawrence, not Amanda Bynes.
She was a young actress that was very successful and sadly started to display mental illness issues
