Amanda Bynes speaks out about her mental breakdown

[@xoxo818xo]

Are we going to ignore the fact that Dan Schneider abused her and that’s why Nickelodeon let him go before it came out and ruined their network?

[@slivington9292]

I don't think that was ever confirmed ever so...

[@ninjaface182]

That's exactly what I was thinking, no wonder she had drug abuse at a young age.

[@slivington9292]

She definitely had a rough life she has strong mental health issues and it could result from something traumatic I feel so bad for her

[@offgun6466]

Even the weird shit Dan made Ariana do with her feet and water and shit.

[@GojoTheHonoredOne9]

We have no concrete evidence, nothing as that of even a glimmer of a confession that that was what happend. So i wouldn’t go around making such serious accusations. *And yes i’ve seen the videos* Some odd things were going on at Nick with the foot fetish thing in the shows, but abuse is another level

[@MissAdamLambert888]

I LOVE Amanda. Always have. Nostalgic childhood memories because of her. She needs to forgive herself, it's okay to not be okay.

Its hard tho she had so much going for her and her mind betrayed her

And other things that happen in the industry children are surrounded by pedophiles in the industry many child stars have came out about it there is even a documentary about it, her parents also controlled her money so they are living off what she earned for herself that's why she was so broken mentally and physically and nothing happened to them it's sad

[@Littlething41]

@@melanindevine Yeah I just watched this again and there is 0 accountability towards her parents. There is a reason why children get exposed to that and NO ONE protected her.

[@m.s.6586]

Raichu Myers No it’s not.

[@Nathanmask-n1k]

She didn't do meth...it said she did cocaine, Molly, Ecstasy and Adderall...3 of those are "street drugs" and one is prescribed for ADD/ADHD and some people take Adderall or other "stimulants" to help them focus and other people abuse it because they like the feeling, they get high off of it. Ecstasy and Molly are "party drugs" and can be dangerous...I never done either of those but I have seen and heard stories. A lot of people have tried drugs like "molly" or "LSD"...a lot of people self-medicate because they are ashamed to seek help for their depression/anxiety because of the stigma with mental health.

[@kiwedinikwe1087]

@【せいじ】千原じゃない方 things happen in life to everyone good and bad and not everyone deals with them in the same way. We can't cast judgement when nobody is perfect. However, I see why so many people adore famous people one second and then condemn them the next. These people choose to put their lives out there for the public to see. We non famous folks just need to be real and quit jumping back and forth from good feelings to bad ones about them just cause it does and does not suit what we think is right and wrong at the time. They are still human beings and fuck up. They do NOT need to apologize for that.
