It's a big day for Amanda Bynes as she has filed to officially end her conservatorship after almost 10 years. The former Amanda Show actress filed the documents in LA on Wednesday, as reported by TMZ.
This significant news comes just a few months after fellow child star Britney Spears was released from her conservatorship.
Amanda was placed under the conservatorship back in 2013 following a series of concerning events and an ongoing battle with her mental health.
However, as the public has seen with Britney Spears, conservatorships with no end in sight can be detrimental.
She also starred in cult-classic early 2000's films like She's the Man and What A Girl Wants.
Amanda's last film, "Easy A" was released in 2010.
"The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me."
She told the publication that she got depressed after filming She's The Man.
"I went into a deep depression for 4-6 months because I didn't like how I looked when I was a boy," she explained.
Amanda recalled seeing herself with short hair and sideburns for the first time on-screen and called it "a super strange and out-of-body experience. It just really put me into a funk."
Unfortunately, the stress lead to a relapse in 2019. The actress checked into a mental health facility that same year to seek help for substance abuse.
A hearing on Amanda's conservatorship has been placed on the court docket at the end of March.
