When Amanda Bynes got arrested for DUI last week, fans and friends feared that the incident would trigger another life-threatening meltdown like the one Bynes experienced last year.
Sadly, that’s turning out to be the case, as the actress has been spotted acting very strangely in the days following her arrest.
On Friday, Bynes was seen talking to herself in a restaurant and witnesses say she appeared to be on drugs. Yesterday, Bynes wore a large bandage on her face and appeared to be carrying on conversations with trees and other inanimate objects.
Today, the former child star was videotaped riding a rented CitiBike through the streets of Manhattan in precarious fashion:
Yes, not only did she nearly ride into traffic, Amanda swerved all over the road and almost took out a pedestrian or two. If she keeps this up, she might become the first celeb in history to get busted for a BUI.
While most stars who go off the rails are targets for mockery, Amanda’s case is genuinely sad, as she’s reportedly suffering from a variety of mental illnesses.
When she last made tabloid headlines, there were rumors that Bynes was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
She’s repeatedly refuted those reports, but whether she’s been diagnosed or not, it’s plain to see that there are some strange and possibly tragic things going on in Amanda’s life these days.
