The guardianship of former child actress Amanda Bynes is likely to be terminated Tuesday after a judge issues a temporary ruling.
Bynes, 35, has been on bodyguard since 2013 after what she previously described as a dark period in her life. Inheritance protection was terminated in 2017 after her assets were transferred to a trust. Bynes’ father was named regent, and her mother remained in control of her medical and personal affairs.
According to Judge Roger L. Lund’s initial ruling, “The Court has determined that guardianship is no longer required and that the grounds for establishing a person’s guardianship no longer exist.” “The Court intends to grant the petition for termination and order the termination of custody for the person of Amanda Bynes.”
The formal hearing will take place Tuesday in Ventura County Superior Court.
The termination petition was filed by Bynes’ attorney at the end of February and met with the full support of her parents, Lynne and Rick Bynes.
Bynes’ petition to terminate the contract asserted that she had demonstrated that she had not always had illicit substances, had managed her mental health and that her psychiatrist had asserted that she had “the ability to give informed consent to any form of medical treatment.”
Since 2020, Bynes has been living in a “Women’s Organized Society” where she has been able to maintain an “independent” lifestyle and make regular check-ins with a case manager.
Bynes is pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Commerce in Los Angeles, where she has already earned an associate’s degree with distinction in merchandise product development.
In a brief Instagram video posted weeks before she heard it, Bynes thanked fans for all their “love and support.”
She spoke about her experience with drug abuse and body image issues at 2018 Interview with Paper. Bynes told the magazine she would feel uncomfortable and depressed after seeing herself on screen.
Bynes has blamed her behaviour, including comments made on social media, before she was placed in custody for substance abuse, and has credited her parents for helping them. At the time of her interview, she said she had been sober for four years.
“I’m ashamed and really ashamed of the things I said,” Bynes said in the interview. “I can’t go back in time, but if I could, I would. I’m so sorry to whoever I hurt and who I lied about because it really eats me. It makes me horrible, sick to my stomach and sad.”
