Cue The Wig

[Blind Gossip] A couple of years ago, this popular former young adult TV and film actress really hit bottom.

She did eventually get help (involuntarily) and has been attempting to make a comeback. Her reps say she is doing well and that 2018 will be a big year for her and is choosing among several acting projects.

Not so fast.

Someone who knows her conveyed to us that she is not, in fact, well at all. They also told us that it is easy to tell when she is on her meds or off her meds.

When she is off, she puts on a wig and those huge glasses. She does it because she gets very paranoid and thinks that those things hide her identity from people.

Yes, it is sad that she is not well. It is also sad when the people who are supposed to be helping her lie about it in order to try to get someone to hire her.

  13. Amanda Bynes. I thought I heard schizophrenia, which is degenerative, so no. Even if it’s bipolar, this will be difficult for her. The meds cause people to gain weight, Hollywood doesn’t like weight. The stress. I say absolutely not

  18. Amanda Bynes

    she needs Britney Spears dad. I think her parents made grat job saving her, at some point it was really scary.

    • Well, yeah. I mean their meal ticket. She’s so over-medicated it’s like she’s a Stepford Britney.

    • She has kids, so this is probably better for everyone. There are so much evil people who are ready to use her- there has to be someone who takes care of her, or it will end tragic.

    • I’m starting to wonder if the Britney Spears we see today is even the same Britney Spears we once knew.

  24. Is this poor LiLo? I’d like her to work, as she’s very talented. Personally, I find work to be good for focus and discipline but who even knows with what celebrities consider work nowadays.

  29. Deffo Amanda Bynes. I love her but think she really needs to sort her health before getting back into acting. It’s already hard enough when you don’t have health deficits.

  35. Amanda Bynes. So sad that she can’t stay on her meds. Mental illness is so hard to control.
    Unless she’s committed to staying on her meds, I wouldn’t risk giving her a role.

  38. Amanda Bynes

    Sad. I think it’s more than mental illness. I think she was caught up in the Hollywood sex scandal, got r*ped and that’s why she lost it.

    • Or both. Good point though. She’s one who worries me. If she loves the work and it provides structure and purpose it can help but I agree only if (big IF) she has a strong support system to put her health first. Sounds like maybe not? I hope she won’t be yet another victim of HW.

  46. This has to be Amanda Bynes. Once you have bipolar disorder, it’s not like it miraculously disappears.

    Optional: no, it sounds like she isn’t ready to return to show business. She probably will never be. Being in a mentally healthy situation is much more important.
