Amanda Bynes appeared on the road to recovery earlier this year. She had enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandise (FIDM) and tweeted healthy-looking photos of her in a bikini on Spring Break. Fast-forward seven months later and Bynes is back in psychiatric care and expelled from FIDM.
Her parents Lynn and Rick Bynes, their attorney Tamar Arminak and Britney Spears' former manager Sam Lufti, who recently befriended Bynes, orchestrated an elaborate plan to fly Bynes back to Los Angeles from New York, according to People. They then had her involuntarily committed to psychiatric treatment at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, California for a 72-hour hold, which was extended another 14 days on Oct. 13, according to E! News.
Bynes' doctors now want a judge to grant them conservatorship so they can keep the actress confined a medicated for up to a year, according to TMZ. They plan to seek an LPS Hold, but a court will only grant the psychiatric hold if Bynes is "gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism."
An LPS Hold allows doctors to forcibly administer meds to Bynes. Doctors received an LPS hold on Bynes last year after she lit the end of her driveway on fire and doused her dog in gasoline. That order expired last month, according to TMZ.
A court granted Bynes' parents conservatorship over their daughter's medical care after the same incident. Their conservatorship ended on Sept. 10 and shortly after, Bynes started acting out again.
Bynes returned to Twitter after a five-month hiatus and made dangerous accusations against her father. She accused him of sexual, verbal and physical abuse during her childhood. Bynes later deleted the tweets and claimed "the microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me."
Bynes' mother and two siblings both denied the claims. "When she is in one of these states, her anger and frustration is directed towards her father," a source told People.
The "Easy A" star now "literally hates her parents" after they "tricked" her into coming to the Pasadena facility, according to TMZ.
