Amanda Bynes’ Conservatorship Comes to An End
After nine years, Amanda Bynes’ conservatorship has come to an end.
The conservatorship – which first came into effect in August 2013 following the “Easy A” actress’s struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues – was terminated by Superior Court Judge Robert Lund in Ventura County, California on Tuesday, 22 March.
“The court determines that the conservatorship is no longer required and that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship of the person no longer exist,” Lund wrote in his ruling.
As a result, Bynes has regained full control of her medical, financial and personal decisions, which had been controlled by her mother Lynn during her conservatorship.
“In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritise my well-being in this next chapter,” the 35-year-old actress said via a legal statement.
Thanking her lawyer and her fans, as well as her parents for supporting her desire to end her conservatorship, Bynes revealed that she is “excited about my upcoming endeavours – including my fragrance line – and look forward to sharing more when I can.”
