More troubling news for Amanda Bynes today, as E! News reports that her involuntary psychiatric 5150 hold which was initially set at 72 hours beginning last Friday, Oct. 10, has been extended to a full two weeks beginning today, Oct. 13.
After a series of reports of strange and concerning behavior taking place in New York City, Amanda Bynes was placed in an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold in a Los Angeles area hospital.
TMZ has now learned how the plan was put in place to get Amanda help, and that story is equally as surprising.
Amanda Bynes has reportedly been placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold in the Los Angeles area after several days of displaying increasingly bizarre behavior in New York City.
Amanda Bynes has been arrested for a DUI and was charged with a misdemeanor after cops "determined she was under the influence of a controlled substance" while she was driving.
On the heels of Amanda Bynes' lawyer's statement clearing up rumors about the starlet's mental health, Bynes' mother Lynne is now speaking out about her daughter's condition, saying she has "no mental illness whatsoever" and that marijuana was the cause of her erratic behavior.
What a difference a year makes. Amanda Bynes quietly returned to Twitter after a well-documented public meltdown that was covered by the media all through 2013. The former actress, who is now studying at FIDM, shared a self-portrait on Twitter.
