Amanda Bynes Conservatorship

In 2013, the actress was placed under a conservatorship after several incidents, as mentioned here. The actress conservator was her mother, Lynn Bynes. In 2022, the conservatorship ended, after a judge concluded she no longer needs to be under supervision. The recent incident happened almost 1 year after the conservatorship’s end date.

The incidents happened shortly after she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Moreover, the actress also struggled with substance abuse, as noted in this article.

Bynes’ attorney, David Esquibias, talked to NPR about the conservatorship and made it clear it was nothing like the case of Britney Spears. “But Amanda’s conservatorship is nothing like Britney’s conservatorship,” he said. “Amanda’s conservatorship was a collaborative effort with her parents. There was no fighting between her and her mother or father. Everyone was working together, including Amanda.” Esquibias continued.
