Amanda Bynes placed on psychiatric hold after roaming streets naked
The former “Amanda Show” star, who has bipolar disorder, reportedly called 911 on herself when she realized she was coming down from a psychiatric episode.

Amanda Bynes was placed on a psychiatric hold early Sunday after being found roaming the streets of Los Angeles naked.

An eyewitness told TMZ Monday that the former “Amanda Show” star, who has bipolar disorder, flagged down a car without any clothes on her person and told the driver she was coming down from a psychiatric episode.

Bynes, 36, then called 911 on herself and was taken to a nearby police station, where a mental health expert determined she needed to be placed on a 5150 hold, according to the outlet.

The troubled star reportedly remains in a facility’s care. A 5150 hold typically lasts 72 hours but can be extended based on a patient’s need.

She had been set to attend ’90s Con in Connecticut with her former “All That” co-stars Saturday but canceled due to an undisclosed illness.

Bynes’ attorney didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment, but her ex-fiancé Paul Michael tells Page Six exclusively that the Nickelodeon alum has allegedly been “off her meds.”

Bynes’ psychiatric episode happened nearly one year to the day after she was freed from an eight-year conservatorship.

She spoke out at the time to thank fans for their “love and support” in a brief Instagram video recorded in anticipation of her court hearing, during which a judge ultimately decided the legal arrangement was “no longer required.”

Bynes’ parents, Rick Bynes and Lynn Bynes, supported her push for freedom.

Lynn served as Amanda’s conservator, while Rick was considered an interested party in the case.

After the conservatorship’s termination, Amanda’s attorney shared that the former child star, who has also struggled with substance abuse, was “doing very well” and looking forward to moving in with Michael.

However, she and Michael ended their engagement in July 2022, just months after she publicly accused him of watching “mom-and-son porn” and using crack cocaine.

Amanda later clarified that she had actually caught Michael watching “MILF” porn but insisted he relapsed in his drug use despite his revealing a clean test.

Bynes and her fiancé, Paul Michael, broke up last year, but the pair remain friends.

After the breakup, the retired actress decided to enroll in cosmetology school to become a manicurist.

She’s since shared various snaps of her in-progress nails as well as photos of her classroom, which resembled a nail salon.

Amanda graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in LA in June 2019 and also has expressed an interest in developing fragrances.
