Amanda Bynes spoke after a judge officially closed her conservatory.
The actor, best known for roles in the Nickelodeon series The Amanda Show and comedy films like She’s my husbandhas been under a conservatory since 2013. Her mother Lynn petitioned for a temporary conservatory over her daughter after she allegedly set fire to a driveway, and was later granted a full conservatory in 2014.
On Tuesday (March 22), Judge Roger L. Lund closed the Conservatory. “The conservatory is no longer necessary or necessary, and therefore the petition for dismissal has been granted,” he said at the California Supreme Court. “She did everything the court asked for a long time.”
Following the ruling, Bynes issued a statement (via Search) Thank you fans for their support. “Following today’s decision by the judge to close my conservatory, I want to thank my fans for their love and desire during this time. I also want to thank my lawyer and my parents for their support over the past nine years.
“In recent years, I have worked hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter. I am excited about my future endeavors – including my perfume line – and look forward to share me more if I can.
Bynes was open to struggling with substance and mental health issues. She was ordered to visit a psychiatric facility by a judge in 2020.
Last month, after nine years, Bynes formally petitioned to close the conservatory. Her lawyer David A. Esquibias said the actor believed “her condition [has] improved and the protection of the court is no longer necessary ”.
The day before the hearing (March 21), the judge tentatively ruled that the conservatory was “no longer required” and set expectations for the official result. The process moved relatively quickly as there were no objections to their petition, with their parents also supportive.
Following the verdict, Bynes will now have personal control over her personal, medical and financial affairs.
