Exploring the Factors That Resulted in Amanda Bynes’ Parents Establishing a Conservatorship

In 2013, Lynn Bynes was granted conservatorship over her daughter, Amanda Bynes, following a series of erratic behaviors from the “All That” star. These included making sexual assault accusations towards her father, which she later retracted, as well as turning herself into a Blac Chyna look-alike and tweeting about wanting sexual relations with Drake. Additionally, Amanda was arrested multiple times, further proving her parents’ point that she was not of sound mind to make decisions for herself. At the time, Amanda was 27 and her attorney, David Esquibias, said that her parents felt that placing her under a conservatorship was the best course of action.
