AMANDA Bynes stepped out of the public eye after facing an onslaught of mental health-related setbacks.
The actress, who was popular throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, had her 9-year conservatorship terminated by a judge in March 2022.
Who are Amanda Bynes’ parents?
Amanda Bynes is the youngest of three children born to Lynn and Rick Bynes.
Lynn is of Jewish faith, while Rick is Catholic. Amanda grew up learning both religions, ultimately identifying as “spiritual” later in life.
Both of her parents work in dental – Lynn as an assistant, and Rick as a dentist.
In July 2013, Amanda was hospitalized under a 72-hour mental health evaluation following an incident involving a self-made fire.

Her parents filed for a conservatorship at the time, and her mother was granted temporary control over Amanda’s affairs.
The following year, Amanda accused her father of abuse via Twitter. Both of her parents adamantly denied the claims, to which Amanda later admitted never happened.
She claimed a “microchip” made her say those things online, after which her mother once more gained control of Amanda’s assets.
In August 2018, the conservatorship was extended until at least 2020.
The same year, Amanda announced her sobriety and apologized publicly for the accusations she made against her parents.
In February of 2022, Amanda filed to end her conservatorship – a move her parents are said to support.
In March 2022, Judge Roger Lund terminated her conservatorship in a California court.
Judge Roger explained his decision in court documents stating: “The court determines that the conservatorship is no longer required and that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship of the person no longer exists.”
What have Amanda Bynes’ parents said about her conservatorship?
According to TMZ, Amanda’s lawyer, David A. Esquibias, the star had the full support of her parents.
He also insisted that the move was not inspired by Britney Spears‘ conservatorship legal battle, noting that Amanda has been working to end the legal matter since last year.
Her lawyer said Amanda’s conservatorship was never intended to be in place for her entire life, and all parties involved hoped it would one day end.
Even though her mother, Lyn Bynes, acted as her conservator since it was established, Amanda’s parents also agreed that the conservatorship should end.
