According to new 2013 reports, Amanda Bynes’ mental illness and health continues to improve at the UCLA psychiatric ward where she is being held. Last week, the troubled actress made headlines for being bisexual, according to sources close to the actress.
In the latest edition of Star Magazine, Ashley Marie, Bynes’ cousin, gave an exclusive interview with the gossip magazine. She claimed (from firsthand knowledge) that Amanda “is getting better.”
An unnamed source in the same article went on to discuss Bynes’ parents and the difficult time they are having. While Amanda and her folks have had a rough relationship in the past, the source insists that:
“They’re thankful Amanda is improving. Her family loves her so much and wants her to get better.”
As we reported earlier, Amanda’s mom, Lynn, has been granted temporary conservatorship over the troubled actress. A judge granted her full control over Bynes’ finances and health care, temporarily.
The decision was made after Bynes set a fire in a stranger’s driveway back in July. Ms. Bynes also covered herself and her dog in gasoline, accidentally. The initial hold of 72 hours has been significantly extended into September and could be pushed back even further.
Doctors who testified in the case believe Bynes suffers from multiple mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Her parents agree and have since had their daughter transferred to UCLA.
UCLA has an outstanding treatment center for mental illness. In fact, they have helped a number of distressed A-listers (including Britney Spears).
Of course, many news outlets aren’t covering her improving health. They decided to focus on her sexuality, citing an article that Perez Hilton published. An alleged source revealed to the gossip site that:
“She didn’t really hide it or keep it a secret with those that were close to her, which wasn’t really a lot of people. But she was sexually and romantically involved with a close female friend of hers. And a couple times she even had more than one woman in bed with her. She worried that her parents would be upset about it and it’s not a label she wanted publicly. But I don’t really even know if Amanda is sure of her sexuality. I think she was just a little lost and yearning for love and attention anywhere she could get it.”
