She was one of many nick kids that was potentially involved in the scandal that’s making its way into the spotlight. Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case: I’ll be over here in the corner eating my humble pie. 😂
You're right, I was thinking she was nearly 18 or perhaps 18 on the dot. Still, Conan treated her respectfully and seemed sensitive to her history as a child star and her innocent persona; the first point he brings up is about her age and he doesn't sexualize her at all, not even through suggestion (so are you gonna take on more *adult* roles now that you're older, I'd like to see that wink wink). Instead, he makes it goofy and innocent about Trick-or-Treating. Then, he backs her up when the crowd claps for "slutty nurse." He was 42 here and he basically treated her like he would treat his daughter. As always, Conan is a class act @DeathAdder7
@@Kingfish179 he can see the age gap quite well. Numerous younger women went to his show and said they were infatuated with him when they were younger and he just says "cool..." or something like that instead of acting all creepy because of that.
Honestly, Conan never fails to impress me. With a lot of these older interviews with talk show hosts, you start to brace yourself for some uncomfortable moments but he carries himself and the whole interview so well.
I never understood why actors always said that acting is exhausting, until I got a job that required acting happy, energetic, & happy all the time towards the not necessarily respectful public, & then I finally got it.
@@PandorasBoxYT is charecter acting easier? Reason I'm asking is I use to be in theatre school in my teens and I loved charecter acting bcoz it gave me an opportunity to be someone totally diffrent then who I was n I loved it!
Just took what it did to Jim Carrey. He developed severe depression from having to play a class clown caricature for years, and now he's finally become in touch with himself after abandoning it.
I've been watching a few of her old interviews now, can half the people in the comments please stop blaming her for 'the path she took' or 'what she's become'? She hasn't had much of a childhood, things have been done to her by the monsters of adults that were and still kind of are in charge of her life. Please leave her alone and focus on the type of people who cause these things.
@@jonhohensee3258 well, you could say that about pretty much anyone who does drugs. Why focus on someone who has obviously been through enough and isn't in your life?
Here to reminisce on how Amanda was one of the most talented individuals I grew up watching. The amount of characters Amanda played with superd comedic timing was just awesome to watch. I wish her nothing but the best because she has been through alot.
Dear Amanda, Thank you so much for gracing us with so much joy & laughter throughout our childhoods, all while sacrificing yours. I’m truly sorry that you weren’t protected the way you deserved to be & I’m greatly saddened for all the vile & evil things you had to endure. I’m praying that you overcome it all & find a happiness so grand that all the pain of the past becomes nonexistent. Keep your head up 🙏🏽
This is perfectly said. She is the face of so many childhoods. She made us laugh after school and on weekends and we had no idea what she was going through . There are thousands of people who are on her side and I hope she knows that !
I appreciate Conan not being a creep during the interview. he even steered away from the parts of the convo that could have headed in that direction where som other hosts would have jumped right into it more. classy. thank you
@@dolpx I actually watched a follow-up after I made this comment, her conservatorship had ended and it looked like she was poised to make a comeback, until she was found wandering the streets of LA completely naked almost exactly a year ago 😪
Theory. She’s still this girl, and by intentionally destroying her own social capital by acting as if to have gone crazy she’s able to lead a normal life away from the prying eyes of paparazzi. Everyone leaves her alone for the most part now. It’s genius and I wish the best.
He did well with this. Didnt creep it up, didnt force her to ask uncomfortable questions, and tried to make her look good for the show (not physically look good, made the show flow well).
I don’t believe what they say about her. It is grandly abnormal for an actor/ress to just suddenly drop acting, especially at the top of their game. She was an awesome actress and I would love to know the real story behind her silence.
@@lewiscypher289 apparently her drug addiction got too out of control to the point where she couldn't act or remember her lines anymore. She walked off the set of the movie "hall pass" that she was the star of and never came back because of it.
People need to know the difference between being a professional on screen, in interviews, and red carpets, is not the same, as how they are in real life. Amanda Bynes is only human. She went through alot behind the scenes.We were so used to seeing her, as this perfect, romodel,and polished person who has it all to together in the past. We dont know what she was going through back then. Im glad that she's still alive and is working on herself now
The term you are looking for is role model. There’s no such thing as romodel. Kids should never look to celebrities as role models. That’s so unhealthy for both sides.
I guess the algorithm wants to remind us all what a respectful media personality interviewing an abused child star looks like. Much love to Amanda, I hope she gets the help she needs more than anything, and good on Conan for being such an all around great guy from what I’ve heard.
@sias_circleare you serious right now? she was dealing with an IMMENSE amount of trauma back then. literally got fcking knocked up by dan at 13 and forced to have an abortion, her "speaking up" for other people was completely out of her control. what a disgusting comment, you're no better than the perpetrators with this mindset.
Ugghhh, she has a mental diagnosis. That's why her and Brittany are conserved and need monitoring. The only problem is some power of attorneys abuse their power. But they can't be "free " if you really understood why they behave the wayy they do. Educate yourself on mental health and how it changes a person. Bipolar, schizophrenia, etc
Amanda, you are a truly good person My son loved your show as a child watching the show with my son is a fond memory we share. Just keep in mind no matter what happens you have really been a positive force in the world and a positive part of people's lives.
She was abused by adults in the industry when she was young. I really feel heartbroken that she never got to escape her depression. A lot of abused children don’t transition well into adulthood. They turn to drugs or alcohol or other types of addiction. I really prayed for her but she got worse. I hope finds peace someday. 😢
I don't know the exact nature of the abuse, but it really makes Conan stand out here. Completely refuses to sexualize her and treats her like he would his daughter
Amanda is such a beautiful lady. I can't stop watching her movies and WILAY. Whatever she's going through today, I'm sure she's going to come out on top. I'm rooting for her
See, you never know what a person is facing. It's easy to put these celebs in a high standard. Who knows what she was facing while doing this interview, everything seem perfect. I remember when I always had a smile on my face and everyone at my job was always talking about how I always look happy. But on some days, I was miserable at work. We all need to be kind to others and understand that no matter how things look from the outside in, we're all facing a battle sometimes. Life is beautiful but no matter what, everyone has their challenges. No matter how much money or success that someone have..
A very beautiful young lady. She was a good comedic actress. I really thought she would ascend and claim the mantle of rom com queen in the line of Meg Ryan and Renee Zewellger
She seems so sweet and fun. I truly hope she finds a treatment that gives her peace and a new lease on life. Those kind of treatments are few and far between but I really hope something is out there to help her.
Dear Amanda. Happy Birthday Amanda Bynes. UR talented and beautiful. I believe in u. I hope u find happiness and peace. I keep watching She's the Man and Robots. U have my support. I wish u could be other new movies. I hope ur alright. I trust u. I love u. May the Peace be with u Amanda Bynes. From Harlingen Texas. April 3, 1986 April 3, 2022 through April 3, 3022
So sad what happened to her :( she used to be SO funny, pretty, intelligent and enigmatic. Truly makes me upset how much she changed and is struggling.
@@bmendez3782 Uhh...it's real. Not saying anything about her though. Check out its Wikipedia page and its sources. There's a legit mainstream Canada newsreport on RU-vid that documents it being done to people without their knowledge or consent. It's called: MK Ultra: CIA mind control program in Canada (1980) - The Fifth Estate
It’s weird because she and I are so similar. It’s unmedicated anxiety, possibly Aspergers, ADHD... or overly medicated and it turns into Depression, Bi-polar and most often BPD. You can see she’s trying to slow down.
I think her parents or someone gave her medicine to hype her up during her all that and amanda show days and that was the beginning of her spiral. Think Judy garland on the set of the wizard of Oz
She seems like she has no interests in anything and is just boring person who is trying to pass off as this bubbly interesting person. She just wants to watch TV and eat cereal and not be bothered. And there is nothing wrong with that it just makes for a shitty interview
Yesterday (June 4 2023) bumped into story & pics of her and prob why this vid is in my feed today … an understatement - she looks vastly different today.
It's so sad to see what's happening to her now. She's one of my favourites. Thankfully her parents got her into a facility. I'm hoping she gets the help she needs.
her parents are MONSTERS. (Like Dan Schneider). She said before that her dad sexually abused her and her mother didn't say a word to anyone about it. She was destroyed by people for fame and possibly put into MK ULTRA programming. That poor girl... And still people call her "crazy" after all she's been through.
@@andronikisa but it wasn't her dad that actually molested her, (though he could've been involved) but she's had to hint in posts that end up saying "DAN DID IT"
I don't know what to say so I'll just say something and hope its helpful. Amanda, I identify with you so much. I've grown up parallel to you as we had the same birthday. I didn't even go through what you went through and I too have had terrible trouble with depression and life in general. I hope you do know you're very special, and I hope we both get our lives worked out so we can thrive ❤🙏
I just saw her current look on some news, then I searched her name and this popped up. I used to watch What I like about you on tv and it was fun, and this She's the man movie.
She's so beautiful and so happy in this video. Drugs can really destroy lives but the people around us that want us to do better are the ones who help us stay away from that crap.
when i was a kid back in the late 70s i literally took an old refrigerator box and a magic marker and drew a bunch of buttons and dials and things and pretended it was the cockpit of a spaceship.
One of my most horrible memories was falling over on my neighbors porch wearing a box as a robot costume as you described, and not being able to get up while my parent took pictures on a polaroid instamatic.. in other news...can everyone please pray for Amanda and send her all the light and love that you can spare... she really needs it about now.
instead of asking her trick or treating questions or cooking questions, she also did have a movie coming out which she had to mention. He coudve done his research alittle more
I truly hope Amanda can one day come back to our screens like Brendan Fraser 😥 Both extremely talented beautiful stars whose lights were dimmed at some point by truly evil ppl,
she always seemed very bright actually i dont know when exactly drugs started for her theres a ton of speculation there but Adderall can cause delusions and hallucinations i think that was her gateway and her downfall which i believe she started to lose weight... of course there were other drugs im sure and she also had leeches around her whole life so she just spiraled. I wish her nothing but the best hope that she finds her way. I hope that as a we can learn from her story and her mental health struggles and are more understanding when we see other people struggling in similar situations.
She claims she started Adderall in 2007, because she saw in a magazine that it makes you lose weight. So she went to a psychiatrist and faked the symptoms of add to get it.( Truth is it was probably some crooked Hollywood doctor) but there has been rumors and blind items about her drug use dating back to 2002
I still remember back in the early 2000’s when several Nickelodeon actors said they wanted to make sure she “didn’t go down the road they did”. Now we all know why. So sad.
She's so sweet. As usual, ppl destroy you. Abusers always go after pure, living, and joyous ppl like this. The institution destroyed her like they do to most ppl.
I really thought she was going to be one of the top women some day in comedy when she had the Amanda show. I thought she was going to audition for SNL after she was 18 and then she would land some good comedy movies after being on SNL for a few years. I have been so sad for her for years. I hope she gets better, live a healthy & happy life.
It wasn’t the “wrong path” that she took, she had genuine medical problems like schizophrenia that affected her ability to act and made her be ostracised from Hollywood
