and
A Big Liar
has been facing problems related to her drug addiction for more than a decade.
Ten years ago, after setting fire to a neighbor's driveway, her mother gained guardianship and Bynes was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
By then, his substance addiction problems had worsened.

In 2014, Amanda accused her own father of sexual abuse, but soon denied it, arguing that a "microchip" implanted in her brain by her father was what "made her say those things."
Four years later,
the actress stated that she was sober for years thanks to the help of her parents
.
In an interview she stated that during her substance abuse days she experimented with cocaine and MDMA, but the drug she most abused was the prescription drug for the treatment of ADHD, Adderall.
Finally, in 2022, the actress was released from a court guardianship that put her life and financial decisions under the control of her parents for almost nine years.
In a case similar to that of Britney Spears, Amanda fought for 9 years to have guardianship removed from her mother.
