Too think she says she was turning 13 here & what we know now about her saying she got pregnant at 13 by her boss (Dan) & had to get an abortion . She was so happy & outgoing here & it makes me sad knowing how she is now 💔 she was groomed in many ways as a kid/ teenager & it didn’t hit her until she became a full adult & started to understand things more which is why she spiraled . They used Amanda as a cash cow , made her seem crazy when she wasn’t & now she has no control over anything .

Yes but it's so so so sad that she was drugged and couldn't showcase those skills as a sober young girl rather than a drugged up commodity

[@gdroberts8163]

She's not drugged up. She's hypomanic and later became bipolar. It's often the precursor. It's like full blown disorder but without grandiose thinking, delusions and anything dangerous. This is why thoughts go through her head like a freight train and she speaks too rapidly. That's a key sign. While it helped her comedy, improvising and acting ability it hasn't in real life. People who are hypomanic often have issues with drugs, alcohol, sex and irrational or impulsive decisions usually with money. Bill Clinton is a prime example of a hypomanic person.

[@MissHannah2036]

She acts way beyond her years, making adult references, bit of a concern, which later played out..

[@gdroberts8163]

@@MissHannah2036 That doesn't mean anything is sinister. When you work with adults all day in the entertainment business you begin to act like the people surrounding you. Some kids just don't gel with peer group and identify with adults who see their gifts. Being well spoken in an interview accounts to preparation and being comfortable with what you are doing. She's on message and likely coached by a PR person on what to bring up. She's an intellectual and somewhat articulate where most kids aren't.

June 17, 2019. It is so hard for me to watch this. She was one of my favorite actors while I was a kid/teen. She always made me laugh. Not once could she fail to bring me so much joy. Watching this and hearing all her dreams about how she is so happy and how she can’t wait to grow older and just be awesome brings a tear to my eye because her life ended up being a complete disaster. Drugs at a young age, hardcore drugs as she grew older, depression, even more hardcore drugs, then flat out cut off from the Hollywood scene. This little girl has no idea the rough life she is going to have. Fortunately, things are going slightly better for her from what I hear. Hopefully, live is going well from here on out.

People assume sexual abuse because she was a child star and it's a salacious rumor but there's never been much substantial evidence or allegations for that. It does appear that she may have been overworked when she was still a young child and it could have contributed to her mental issues but we'll never know. Sometimes the sharpest, brightest minds can struggle with mental issues as the person gets older. I wish people wouldn't spread sexual abuse rumors without basis.

It’s recently came out in an interview that she has personally said herself that she had struggled with severe adderal addiction she even said that is the reason why she was kicked off the last movie she was signed onto. Previous cast members have came out & said that Amanda was pumped with adderal on set & then given sedatives afterwards so she could sleep at night. An employee on the Amanda show was charged with using sedatives on he Amanda show to molest a young boy on set. It’s all public & all the legal documents are online. It is 90% drake bell (sloan has a video more in depth on the facts of that) yea so he was BFFs with Dan & so most likely Dan used sedatives to molest Amanda bynes as well just like bill Cosby & everyone else in Hollywood back in the creepy years ....it’s public knowledge especially in the scene.

Frater Tenc Funny though, my father is a dentist too and my psychiatrist (I'm bipolar and borderline myself) said schizophrenic and schizoid people get into dentistry... I see the articles now.. it's POSSIBLE she was diagnosed in the hospital with schizophrenia... I'm actually thinking more likely she has schizoaffective. It's a combination of schizophrenic symptoms and a mood disorder, usually bipolar not unipolar depression. Her eccentricity and intelligence are seen here... the smarter you are the more likely you are to run into psych issues and especially emotional problems.

Y'all, quit diagnosing her with a disorder. I was deeply uncomfortable by how similar her self expression was to my own at 12, and I have no issues to speak of. She might have bipolar disorder but this isn't evidence of it.

[@DerpTard13]

razzlefrog right, this is how I acted as a child too

[@scootermom1791]

I looked Amanda up to see if she ever achieved her goal of becoming a fashion designer. She graduated from Fashion Institute & Design Merchandising in 2019 with a bachelor's degree. From what I can tell though, she hasn't been actively involved with fashin design, yet.

Despite all the hiccups along the way, she said she wanted to do fashion aside from acting in this interview and now she’s about to come out of fashion school with her own vintage line. This girl gets things done!

[@renatoespinoza8792]

Sadly time flies , And her family didn't collaborate too much she was so happy. Now she looks sedated :c . This is the Amanda we saw growing up a happy one!

[@julia9557]

She reminds me of Hannah Montana (the character).

[@alexwinschurch8996]

She should never have done drugs. You can see her mind is a bit all over place, even back then!

[@MaddieMadderson]

She would of had a psychotic break anyway the drugs most likely made her mania tolerable and kept her from offing herself.

[@Nolanandnovaworld]

No her parents gave her Adderall and drug her up with all kinds of stuff In order to make her Perform

[@madelynnhenson3416]

It wasn’t her fault. She was given Adderall and got an addiction from it

did she have manic or ADHD back then my brother has ADHD and acts like this just a thought

[@tiatrione8482]

For everyone saying that she’s been drugged here whether knowingly or unknowingly, where are you getting this from? Maybe she was being give stuff by her managers, but before reading the comments I just thought she was normal 12 year old because this is kinda how hyper I was as a 12 year old lol. There’s nothing wrong with me nor do I have bipolar, it was just my personality. I would be extra hyper if I was on a talk show also.

[@jadegeisbrecht2269]

i defiantly agree with you i was a hyper child as well but the squirming around, talking to fast to even understand it’s almost manic and all the problems she faced after growing up it’s obvious something was wrong in her past and with that her acting like this in the middle of puberty it just all adds up to some really scary things.

Its obvious that she was being drugged. Young actors are given drugs to stay awake and drugs to give them hyper personality so they come off as "cute". Its really sad.

I didn’t realize this was Howie Mandel until I saw his name under executive producer at the end. I didn’t even notice the TV screen during the show with his name and he looks so different with hair 😂

[@candiceisrandom4692]

I just realized her energy reminds me so much of Jojo siwa 😲

[@pangelsaya]

Love her so much and truly she was an inspiration to me as a kid although watching this I get the impression she might have been taking a stimulant. A pretty high dose, maybe 20MG of adderall. You see other interviews and she is not always this “up.” A lot of rich kids were and still are on them, especially those working in show biz. It might go some ways to explain her eventual drug dependency. I don’t mean to criticize rudely. I also struggled with drug use. I hope you are doing better queen. You gave me so much joy and you deserve to have that back tenfold.

Omg I just realized that was Howie Mandel from Americas Got Talent !!!

[@tobecontinued436]

Some people say she was drugged up here from how hyper she was but I think that she's just a 12 year old girl with lots of energy that is excited to be there and maybe a little nervous so she's talking fast.

Love Amanda her humor is everything

[@ErinLuxe]

It’s recently came out in an interview that she has personally said herself that she had struggled with severe adderal addiction she even said that is the reason why she was kicked off the last movie she was signed onto. Previous cast members have came out & said that Amanda was pumped with adderal on set & then given sedatives afterwards so she could sleep at night. An employee on the Amanda show was charged with using sedatives on he Amanda show to molest a young boy on set. It’s all public & all the legal documents are online. It is 90% drake bell (sloan has a video more in depth on the facts of that) yea so he was BFFs with Dan & so most likely Dan used sedatives to molest Amanda bynes as well just like bill Cosby & everyone else in Hollywood back in the creepy years ....it’s public knowledge especially in the scene. Everyone knows. The internet now exists so the world is starting to know now (thank god)

[@madelynnhenson3416]

Wait drake bell was (allegedly) molesting girls?
