The news that Amanda Bynes had been committed to a mental institution for three days began circulating on the internet on March 20. But, an insider reportedly told NBC News that Bynes “hasn’t been in communication with her family for a while.” Bynes’ attorney informed the network that he could not comment on the subject.
The star reportedly had a “psychotic episode” on Sunday, March 19, and was observed walking the streets of Los Angeles, where she flagged down a passing motorist and explained her situation. After allegedly calling 911 herself, Bynes was taken to a police station, where a mental health team decided to place her on a “5150 psychiatric hold.”
On Saturday, March 18, 2023, Bynes was slated to appear at ’90s Con 2023 in Connecticut. That’s 4 Entertainment, the event’s producers, said the actor cancelled his appearance the day before due to a “unknown ailment.”
