Amanda Bynes says she gained over 20 pounds while depressed, shares dramatic weight-loss goals

Bynes recalled how she “used to chew the Adderall tablets” in her trailer while filming 2010’s “Hall Pass,” which caused her to become too “scatterbrained” to memorize her lines.

She ultimately dropped out of the film because of her addiction.

“I made a bunch of mistakes but I wasn’t fired. I did leave… it was definitely completely unprofessional of me to walk off and leave them stranded when they’d spent so much money on a set and crew and camera equipment and everything,” she shared.

The former Nickelodeon star has been in and out of treatment centers for her mental health and was placed on a psychiatric hold last year after being found walking naked around Los Angeles. She remained in the facility for a few weeks before being released.

A couple of months later, authorities placed Bynes on another psychiatric hold after she was detained by police. Although she spent a couple of weeks there, she was ultimately released and then checked back in on her own volition.

Since living on her own again, Bynes, whose eight-year conservatorship ended in 2022, has been playing with her appearance and even admitted to having cosmetic surgery on her eyelids to boost her self-confidence. She also briefly dyed her hair black before returning to platinum blond.
