Actress Amanda Bynes, who rose to fame in the 2000s for the teenage comedies “Everything a Girl Wants” (2003) and “She’s the Man” (2006), was taken into police custody in Los Angeles, USA, for an assessment of your mental health. According to the TMZ website, she was even handcuffed and taken to a police station on Saturday morning (6/17).
Bynes’ arrest came after police received a call reporting a woman in distress, later identified as the actress. Authorities did not clarify whether she was found at home or in a public place.
Witnesses told TMZ that the actress was calm during her interaction with police and looked defeated as officers dealt with her. It is unclear whether she was taken to hospital or if she was released by the police.
This is the second time in months that Bynes has called the police. In March, she was placed under psychiatric observation after being found wandering the streets of Los Angeles naked. A month later, she was released from the psychiatric hospital to complete treatment at home.
Successful career
Amanda Bynes was one of the most popular actresses of the early 20th century. She commanded Nickelodeon’s “The Amanda Show” from 1999 to 2002, and exploded into film with the teen comedy “Everything a Girl Wants” (2003). Then, she had even more success in the sitcom “Coisas que Eu Odeio em Você” (What I like about you), which aired from 2002 to 2006.
In 2005, she was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the highest paid actresses under 21 in Hollywood. And that was before starring her in her biggest hit, “She She She’s the Man” (2006). Upon the film’s release, she was named “one of the most alluring women under 25,” according to People magazine.
problems with the police
Her troubles began in 2012, when she was arrested twice for drunk driving and crashing her car – on one occasion she collided with the back of a police vehicle. She protested in a tweet in which she asked then-President Barack Obama to fire the police officer who arrested her, and also continued to drive after her license was confiscated, until her her car was confiscated for the crime.
In early 2013, she was arrested again after a complaint from her building’s concierge, who called the police claiming that someone was smoking marijuana in the building’s lobby. When police arrived, the actress was already in her apartment, but they found a bong (a type of herbal cleanser used by some addicts). And when she was asked about the container, she simply threw it out the window, “hitting the sidewalk full of pedestrians,” as the police report describes it.
The actress was eventually arrested for disorderly conduct, withholding evidence and possession of drugs. And she would be taken into custody, kicking, “Do you know who I am?”
After the arrest, she was taken to Roosevelt Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, expressing outrage at the humiliation. Although she was cleared by the judge in her case, she was kicked out of her apartment by the liquidator.
Eight years of protection
Two months later, he started a fire, using gasoline to burn clothes in the street outside a neighbor’s garage. The fire caused the gas tank to explode. Giving conflicting answers to the firefighters who went to the scene, she ended up hospitalized in a psychiatric evaluation clinic and a judge entrusted her mother with her guardianship.
She spent eight years under guardianship and hasn’t had any problems since. But she didn’t even work as an actress.
His last job was in 2010, when he was an assistant on the great comedy “A Lie”, with Emma Stone. At the time he had already written on social media: “Being an actress is not as fun as it might seem”.
With the end of the guardianship he intended to rebuild a life away from his mother and with a new career. His first attempt to reinvent himself was as a rapper, but the two singles he released, “Diamonds” and “Fairfax”, didn’t make the slightest impact, because nobody took them seriously.
The outbreaks returned last March to coincide with the first anniversary of the end of the protection.
