Amanda Bynes 2014 News Update: Star Reportedly Faces Involuntary Confinement for a Year
Amanda Bynes hit rock bottom again, but this time her doctors are taking action immediately.
Since her parents are no longer her conservators, nor are they willing to take control of their 28-year-old daughter again, a stricter plan has been put in motion.
Doctors are planning to place Bynes under a conservatorship that will keep her confined and medicated for up to one year.
A source close to Amanda's case tells TMZ that she will be put under an LPS Hold, a type of confinement granted by a judge to doctors when a patient is "gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism." The LPS Hold also means that the "What I Like About You" actress can be confined to a hospital or a secure facility that can and will medicate her against her will. This is something her parents could not do under their conservatorship.
Bynes, who says she hates her parents for tricking her into coming home to a mental hospital, might be missing the freedom they provided her. The actress was placed under LPS Hold a year ago after lighting a driveway on fire and pouring gasoline on her dog. The new Hold can come into affect by a judge within a week of Amanda's final diagnostic.
As of now, Bynes is in a Pasadena mental facility after her parents allegedly worked with Sam Lufti (the same man that was "watching over" Britney Spears during her 2007 mental breakdown) to trick Amanda into coming back to L.A.
Sources claim that Amanda throws angry fits at the facility, which forces doctors to medicate her in order to calm her down. The "What a Girl Wants" star feels that her relationship with her parents has been "destroyed forever."
