Three days ago it was reported that Amanda Bynes was “‘very ill’ and in no shape to care for herself” leading to a judge giving her doctors an extension to hold her for another month. And before that it had been reported that she could be held for up to a year. Yet last night Amanda Bynes was spotted on the Sunset Strip walking around and apparently not looking like she was in any condition to be doing such a thing on her own.
Sources familiar with Amanda’s treatment tell TMZ… she went before a hearing officer at the psychiatric facility Thursday, asking to be released. Amanda has been on her meds and sounds lucid, even though doctor’s say she is seriously mentally ill.
The hearing officer felt Amanda was stable enough so she could NOT be held involuntarily, so he ended the 30-day hold that had been granted last week and Amanda walked out the front door.
Amanda walked down Sunset Blvd., searching for a place to stay. She then went to a diner where she ordered a ton of food which she devoured — fried chicken, salmon, caesar salad with guacamole, and a house salad with Italian and ranch. She was chit-chatting with the waiter and said she was shy because she had a procedure on her face which required a bandage.
Coincidentally, her parents just received conservatorship over her $5-plus million net worth this week.
Here’s video someone caught of Amanda at the diner where it was reported that she was alone and talking to herself. So sad.
