Amanda Bynes tells her descent into hell for the first time

While she had disappeared from radar for eight years, Amanda Bynes returned on November 26 on the cover of the American magazine Paper. The star child of the American chain Nickelodeon became known at the age of 10, in the late 1990s, with the series All That and The Amanda Show. In France, it is especially with the sitcom What I like about you broadcast in France on France 2 then MCMshe becomes popular.

Amanda Bynes is then went on the big screen alongside Colin Firth in What girls dream about, or Hairspray and Easy A. But it's been nearly a decade since Amanda Bynes made her talk about her escapades: driving while intoxicated, drug use, placing her mother under guardianship, or hospitalization.

For the little session of intense nostalgia, it's just below:

Back in the spotlight

In an exclusive interview for Paper32-year-old Amanda Bynes looks back on her descent into hell. In July 2010, she had announced a break in her acting career. According to her, it was because she had a hard time seeing herself on the screen.

I was scattered and unable to concentrate on or memorize my lines

In addition, she had fallen into an addictive spiral: "I started smoking marijuana when I was 16 years old. Even though everyone thought I was a good girl, I never stopped from that moment. "Later, she tries ecstasy and cocaine.

Then she abuses Adderall, a psychostimulant medication to amphetamine base, which prevents him from doing his job properly. On a shoot in the spring of 2010, "I was scattered and unable to concentrate on or memorize my lines," she says.

The same year, she is watching the movie Easy A while she is under the influence of Adderall, and is atrocious in her role. She decides to put an end to her career as an actress, announcing that she is doing it on Twitter in a brutal way. "I had no purpose in life," she recalls from Paper. "I had been working since I was a little girl and I was not doing anything anymore, I had a lot of free time and I was baded all day."

2013, its worst year

If the accursed year of Britney Spears was 2007, it is in 2013 that the descent into hell of Amanda Bynes reaches the abyss. The 27-year-old actress begins to use Twitter as a gunfighter where she attacks the media and many celebrities, often mocking their physical appearance. Even his ex, rapper Kid Cuddi, is no exception. To Rihanna, she writes: "You look really ugly when you try to make yourself look white … Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough."

In May 2013, she was sentenced to three years of probation for driving despite the suspension of her license in September 2012 in Los Angeles. Two cases of hit-and-run crimes had been abandoned in previous months, after it had reached a financial agreement with the victims.

At the end of May 2013, the police arrived at his luxurious home in New York, on report of the porter, who smelled a smell of cannabis. The actress then has the very good idea (sic) to throw out the window bong that the authorities have just found in the apartment. She is arrested and then subjected to a psychiatric evaluation. The next day, she comes to court with a ruffled blonde wig, hiding her very short hair, cut a few times before.

Amanda Bynes is again heard by the courts in July. She appears this time in court with a navy blue wig with blond highlights.

In July, the actress sets fire to an alley next to her family home. She is interned in psychiatry, where she is treated for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, before being placed under the tutelage of her parents. His mother claimed, in August 2018, to extend it until 2020.

A new start ?

After years away from the spotlight, Amanda Bynes reappeared early 2018, first on Twitter in February, which she had disappeared for ten months. No revenge or mockery to report since, while the actress seems much more peaceful.

I have been sober for four years now

In this interview with PaperAmanda Bynes expresses many regrets, but now seems in better shape. "I have been sober for four years now," she says. The former actress studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, California. She dreams of drawing a line of clothes and finding her way back to the movie studios.
