The Amanda Bynes Story: Part 1 

Hearing about what most of the shit that the cast members of all that and the Amanda show suffered from, I feel bad for all of them. I hope they’re all doing better now

Heartbreaking for Amanda I pray she gets the strength to come out and name her abusers !! 💪 Now that she has a tribe behind her it's safer than ever!

Hereeee 🙋🏾‍♀️

She seemed so well-adjusted at such a young age. I hope she can recover.

I enjoyed that. Amanda chose violence.

@@jimmynodean paparazzi choice harassment

@@feefee6889 literally every single time

I love how entilted they act when taking photos of celebrities doing every day stuff but when the celebrities attack them they whine like little babies StooOoP, ThaT HuRTs MEEe!!😭😭😭

RIGHT!!! That was out of pocket for him to be all up in her face for cash, but then when she got up in his face, he was all hurt? Bye ✋🏽

And also she looked so uncomfortable, her whole bodylanguage just screams about it. The way that paparazzi was pushing on her was so infuriating.😡

Me too!!! 😢

They really are, look at what happened to Princess Diana.

True.

I always asked as a child why these people took photos so constant of celebrities, and all I heard was "it's their job".... like is their job to harrasss??????

Defense* -and I totally agree. It's stalking!

Especially back before there was instagram and other forms of social media. It was absolutely disgusting. One of the good things about social media is that most paparazzi lost their jobs. There really isn't much need for it anymore especially since so many celebrities are on platforms like instagram, twitter, snapchat etc. I feel like what happened to Britney in the early aughts wouldn't have happened if we'd had all this technology back then and I'm 36 so I remember that time period very very well. It was absolutely heartbreaking. 💔

Say it again sis💯

The only time paparazzi should be allowed is in a professional event where they are invited. Not wandering around looking for celebs.

Yesss I’ve always thought the same way! It’s disgusting and still to this very day when they go out of their way to sneak a picture under an actresses skirt, the actress is judged as being a floozy when the paparazzi are clearly just paid creeeps? Make it make sense

@@Leelsabeth unfortunately A listers have paparazzi following them regardless... Justin Bieber can’t go anywhere lol

not only 2000s.. it was always like this. it's just more realised in the 2000s because the cameras and stuff were more common so we see that era more clearly.

@@kyle3554 exactly! Look at how they treated Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holiday etc

It’s always been that way and still is to this day . If you dig a little you’ll find a lot of disturbing things that go on in the entertainment industry.

@@kyle3554 The way they treat women period.

Lucy, Yes!! Research will prove that the illness so many young actors and entertainers is not an illness that they're born with and not something that just developed....

Also, Matt Prokop is an abuser so I don't trust a word he says, but I'm thinking critically about the rest

I fear she ate

like that’s so funny 😭

Time stamp?

@@krystalroxX7 the confrontation starts at about 27:30 with the paparazzi guy. He was a complete asshole.

@@berryknobberry2465 Love how he just plays the victim after literally harassing the poor girl! I dont blame Amanda for snapping one bit!

I felt so bad for her! she even asked him semi politely not to film her and he just kept going

Any level of violence is justified if it's against a paparazzi. They're lowly scum.

That makes my blood boil...

I felt so bad for her. Regardless of drug use or mistakes made or whatever, she looked so vulnerable and didn't have anyone to defend her from the look of it... How many times does someone have to say "please no!" before they're allowed to use whatever means necessary to defend themselves. I know I've taught my daughter than no woman should ever have to say no more than once :-/

right?!? he started acting all surprised as if he hadn't just harassed her with pictures when she asked him numerous times to stop

the shit paparazzi did those days was straight up assault

for real. had the nerve to act shocked that she wasnt listening when he asked her to stop when that’s exactly what he was doing to her in the first place.

I loved her in easy A with Emma

After I got out of the hospital for pancreatitis everyone complemented me. I was legit being treated for malnutrition and people were telling me how great I looked. People are so weird.

With my family it’s I’m either too skinny or too fat all of the time. It sucks. Don’t know why anyone’s thinks that’s appropriate

@@theLatestkraze You’re perfect. All of you.💖

@@annieroydube you too queen. Xoxo

yeah its never ok for your family or friends to say that stuff, please know that you're worthy no matter what.

yesss pleease

I am so here for this. Everytime I try to find a video about them its so extremely biased or barely insightful. I think Mila would actually do them both justice ❤

YESSS

girl i would sit through a three part series of mary-kate alone 😩

PLSSSSSSSSS WE NEED IT

I was confused when she said it only lasts a week. A girl I know had it and wasn’t in school for a month and a half, nasty disease.

i had mono at 8, never felt worse in my life

they're like rapists

agreed..very disturbing

idcccccc that guy she scratched really deserved it

when that guy victimised himself for getting scratched by her when he was the one harassing her after she repeatedly politely asked him to leave her alone. the way i see it, if someone is literally harassing you, you have a right to defend yourself. even if they didn't make the first physical move, you have a right to your privacy and your personal space, if you need to make physical contact to get them to leave you alone, i think you're within your rights.

@@entertain7us148 absolutely agree!

Yes because we have to feel superior because we are still mammals with no empathy.

Lets keep on doing it I guess?

Not saying any of that is okay but Hollywood can take me and ruin my life cause I’m tired of being broke and depressed- let me be their next it girl who they destroy. Rather than let my parents ruin my emotional health let media ruin it lol

@Brendan Donohue id rather be ruined doing something I love than be ruined by my family. Please YOU don’t know what ur talking about

@forest rin I’m glad you said you “think” because your opinion means close to nothing. Why rot away poor and a loser? When I can rot away accomplished and actually done something to make people remember me? YOU clock into ur 8-5 work shift at Burger King. It’s fame or nothing for me. Good day and good bye

You're so right.. And after that thing with Britney Spears.. Nobody should say something like this so easily. Same thing with the paparazzi later: she asked him to stop so often, he wasn't interested in her private space or when she felt uncomfortable, so I can understand her reaction

I read that Brian Wilson and Mickey Rooney were placed under conservatorships, although it was after the abuse in their personal lives - Wilson from his father and doctor and Rooney from one of his wives and stepsons - came to light. And apparently prior to being placed in a conservatorship under his family members, Wilson's doctor manipulated him and controlled all aspects of his life.

Several men in the 70s/80s were put under conservatorship actually... There's most definitely more if you look into it yourself

Well it’s probably because media doesn’t compare men to women. I mean if Britney wasn’t put in a conservatorship I doubt media would of brought that up.

@@abigailxmary ok…..what about now

When I heard that line I decided to scroll to comment. But I think your comment is better than one I could make. The All That royalty “Amanda Please” deserves better than this.

That broke my heart too and I’m super surprised I thought she was the most put together and very confident. I’m sad for her.

Right? And the way she says everybody is ugly like that's the worst insult in the world, tells a lot about how she feels.

@@vs9400 you know what i've found to be true most of the time? people insult others by calling what they'd hate to be called most.

@@vs9400 yeah

Dude that honestly would drive me insane. I don’t know how ppl contain themselves around those kind of paparazzi. If I was a regular person seeing them harass someone like that regardless if it’s a celeb I’d be like ummm who tf do you think you are? Watching that guy be so dramatic with Amanda gave me the urge to punch him in the throat. Based on that video I truly don’t believe she got violent with him/scratched him like he says she did, you would’ve heard a lot more tumble and rumble with the camera, not just seeing it move around, and also based on the human body and how it reacts she would’ve looked much more disheveled and shaken with adrenaline when she was walking away if she got physical like he said. I think she was just trying to get him to delete the photo and he played the ultimate victim. Paparazzi make me sick sometimes man.

@@Alex-rh8mr i a big beast

@@Alex-rh8mr ditto. theyre the reason princess diana & dodi fayed r dead

Agree, but you still don't physically attack someone and scratch them. Of course I would be pissed as hell but, violence? Nope. Now if he would've gotten so close to her, then that's another story, I think he kept distance. Justifying her wouldn't have helped her.

@@lizgaby9761 Imagine paparazzi following you around daily almost 24/7, no privacy, no time to yourself, you can’t go out in public looking ugly because then you’ll be bashed for it, ON TOP of struggling with addiction. Violence is not the answer, but we’re human. Come the fuck on. Remember that video of the paparazzi RIGHT OUTSIDE OF KANYES HOUSE AT LEAST 5 AM?? I would’ve shot at them🤷🏽‍♀️ Also I pls pls, strongly suggest you watch the Free Britney documentary I think on Hulu (It’s NY times so pls search it) These paparazzi actually think it’s FUN to egg on celebrities, because they get more money for disheveled photos than posed and set up ones. I get it’s their job, but they need to make regulations for this shit. It is literally stalking.

Yeah, i got it at 14 and was hospitalised for 2 weeks , it was awful

@@beccabowen4292 I appreciate you taking the time to read all of that. I can relate to long hospital stays (though most were after I turned 18) however, I can imagine an extra level of awful if you didn't have "a parent or guardian" with you the entire time - the "we'll need to speak with your parents first" is still a common deflection from having to anything beyond the bare minimum. I know this because they still try it on *me* - because I LOOK young (especially in a tent of a hospital gown) but FFS my birthdate is on my wristband, the chart on my bed (which have to pick up an initial to confirm they checked in on me) AND my medical file. ---- Back to the main topic though; even if it was a miserable experience I'm glad that you were able to get the proper diagnosis and the medical treatment that you needed in time.

They have connected it to autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis. It’s a virus from hell.

According to what is online she’s been diagnosed with bipolar. Most likely with the drugs she was inducing manic episodes severe enough to cause psychosis. That would explain a lot of the behavior and also why she was taking drugs in the first place. Many people with bipolar self medicate.

I had mono in highschool but didn't kiss for the first time until I was 20 lol, not sure how I got it but teasing people about how it's a "kissing" disease was really annoying. I'm so sorry about your friend.

Yes! They literally sit there and taunt people, then act surprised when they finally lash out.

Everytime I hear a paparazzi person getting hurt it brightens my day

Yeah I was thinking good for her the whole time

Period!!!

Then acting like she’s the crazy one lol humans are something else

exactly!

“amanda stop” no you stop sir???? if that was me in that position being followed by a man i didn’t know with a camera as a woman with no fame i would have maced him but bc shes famous it was okay ? same thing with many celebs smh.

Those people are professional stalkers and beating them up should be legal. It is unbelievable they're allowed to harass strangers like that.

i know ! those stalkers don’t even respect celebrities privacy whether the person is a man or a woman, i’m actually so sorry for them because i would be in jail for murd*r if someone was harassing me this way

It was seriously gross, he was yelling & degrading her to walk the way he wanted, than abusive once she reached her breaking point as if shoving a camera in her face, screaming at her & stalking her for photos wasnt creepy at all. Im with Halle Berry F the Paparazzi.

I was thinking this too!! It really seems like she doesn’t want to be in the public eye, and if she HAS to be then she wants to control how she’s viewed. It makes complete sense why she would be acting this way with the combo of body dysmorphia and substance abuse

I agree, & I think a part of what we’ve seen of her that has appeared as questionable behavior, has been her reverting back to the things that gained her popularity and love and support as a child. Like her wearing eccentric wigs, her saying things that are obviously off-the-wall, etc seems to me like she had some drug-induced mania which led her to trying to get back that love & support from her childhood the public gave her, in some of the same ways. Like the Amanda Show was all her doing & saying wacky off the wall things, so I think she tried being goofy again hoping it would read as funny or wholesome & instead as an adult we the public without context took it as bizarre, sometimes seemingly deranged behavior. I just keep thinking about how she was taught, trained, and paid to behave in a way all throughout her childhood that when she taps into as an adult, just like any regular person going through high stress periods can revert back to their childhood survival skills to cope, it comes across as something else. A lot of people who are addicted to drugs basically function socially the same as they did as children, & you can literally see it in Amanda’s case.

Yeah, it's insanely sad. I don't understand how no one saw how wrong it was and how no one helped her...

@@iPhoneRepairGirl Wow interesting take on this

@@iPhoneRepairGirl very well said and interesting observations

ikr :(

Yeah, it hurt to hear the desperation and vulnerability in her voice as she was basically begging the guy not to make her look unattractive. What an absolute douchebag of a pap.

Right? He invades her personal space and privacy and harasses her and we as a society put so much monetary value on those photographs. It was kind of satisfying when she grabbed him and he was all shocked lol

I know It is so sad that Amanda felt ugly I would have NEVER guessed she felt that way cause she is SO stunningly beautiful!

80% of people with body dysmorphia experience suicidal ideation and nearly 30% of them attempt it. the paparazzi are so gross for this.

I hate it so much. The way he adressed her as 'Amanda, Amanda, Amanda' up until she finally stood up for herself when he calls her 'hey, lady' 🙃

Yes that video made me so uncomfortable, she told him multiple times to stop and he kept asking for a shot over and over again?? That would’ve driven me up the walls even if I wasn’t struggling with substance abuse and insecurity

Came straight to the comments when that video popped up because she repeatedly said stop. Then when she lashes out he says stop and expects her too when he didn’t respect her lack of consent

her desperation was so so sad bruh. that man has no heart

That's the entire point, though. They're not working with much if all they leave with is "please leave me alone". A video of a celebrity having a mental breakdown, however? That's a gem.

Legally she didn't though. I'm surprised to see that nearly all the comments are about her reaction to the paps. Unfortunately; morals; sympathy; and feelings aren't considered in law. Ultimately it's seen as; he had a lawful right to take those photos, she was in public. Whether what he said, although sounding positive imo (could've been sarcastic to provoke a response) was still ultimately all legal. So, grabbing the camera, and then (allegedly) scratching him? No, she didn't have every right? I sympathise with what she was going through and knowing all that, I would wish people would afford her that leeway but here she then had a go at the guy? It's still wrong, still be responsible for your actions, and could even see it as it playing into their favour- he then writes a story about her assaulting him. Surprised at the amount of comments from people justifying her actions because:- 'feelings'

@@gram. he literally ignored her wishes and ignored her privacy. She had every right to push his camera away after asking nicely. Then she scratched him. Self defense because he was invading her privacy.

Nobody has a right to "attack" anyone

@@IanKirklandVlogs she didn't have a right, she's in public, he has a legal right to take photos. you may feel that's unfair but the law doesnt care, he was in the right. Def not self defence, again, she's in public, i know the paps are vultures right, but ultimately he done nothing wrong legally. Check self defence yourself, then realise you're wrong. Doesn't justify her attacking him. Basically: britney in public. Pap takes photo. She demands he doesn't. He has the right to take photos. She attacks. Yeah?

@@4079907 shocked at the amount of comments that thought she had a right to do that. I think some paps are vultures, yeah, but it comes with the job yeno? She was in public, he was in the right, just cause she asked him not to isn't an excuse man oof just can't believe the comments on here. She was in the wrong to do that, curb your feels haha.

:(

I feel so sad for her

bc so many people only care about themselves nowadays, it’s gross

I responded to her on Twitter and prayed for her. It was very frustrating and hurtful to watch.

There were a lot of people who reached out to her in concern.

Ooooh! That’s a good idea 💡 I second this!!

Yes, please!

YESS

Yes! She has always been such a mystery

YESSS!! Megan was one of the first woman ( if not the first) who said Hollywood for women isnt all flowers and sunshine! She called things out and nobody took her seriously bc she was just a pretty woman, who should just stand there and be pretty!!

Literally!!!! Why as a society have we not gotten rid of the need for paparazzi

@@hillaryheath220 Well thankfully they're not as in demand as before because of social media. I don't know if I'm just not in the loop anymore but it seems like the most disgusting ones are gone and we've not witnessed anything like this in a while, good riddance

@@hillaryheath220 the paparazzi industry has died greatly since the devlopment of social media and the death of princess diana. but yeah the early 2000s of paparazzi were TERRIFYING.

THIS!!!

Paparazzis are disgusting. Now that we have tiktok which brought Hollywood fix into the light where grown men follow teenagers or young adult and ask personal questions where they’re literally trying to run away or are scared or frighten by them. The fact that there are laws that allow basically stalking is sad. It’s why so many rumors are going on.

This was on my recommended and I had never seen her channel or been searching up anything about Amanda bynes so you may be right about thay

IKR

Super deserving too. She’s empathetic and really puts a lot of research in, love Mila’s videos! ❤️❤️

@@teleportingpotatoe yeah hopes crushed

IKR & then the guy posted the tiny little marks on his arm as if HE'S the victim. So evil.

And the 90s...remember princess Diana. They are relentless

Agreed. Like the video of them at the window while she is driving was insane. Like yeah she shouldn’t have covered her face (duh) but why the fuck do these assholes think it’s okay to stand at her window with bright lights blinding her??? Like they cause accidents and then make money from the photos and videos!!! 🤯

Down right shameful

I have no sympathy for paparazzi

It's not the first time the troubles with fame ruined women, like marilyn monroe. It's a shame that we literally haven't learned a thing.

Its soooooo sad

its scary that parents still force their children into the public eye when the effects of becoming a child star have been evident for year. basically everyone can name at least 3 child stars who have died or have drug dependencies.

@@aidoll3692 Judy Garland also had a tragic background, I can't really watch The Wizard of Oz now. I'm sure there are so many many more actresses who have been failed that we can't name off the top of our heads.

If only we could evolve to where we don’t laugh and point and disbelieve people who are suffering and only understand them decades later,

all disney kids acted like that and all of them went trhough pshycologic traumas. because they are turned into a product. forced . and probably abused.

They did drugs n was prob molested so

true but she was definately a brilliant young comedian

I did too. I liked her but I thought she was just over-the-top.

The rumor is that she was being given Ritalin and probably didn’t need it.

Yeah, they're human too!

What's unfortunate is that paparazzi, media and entertainment reporters don't even try to appeal to celebs as real people and ask genuine and perhaps even interesting questions. They literally instigate as hard as possible to provoke a reaction.

Her mom needs help too

her mom ugh

Actually people kind of fail to be informed of what parents go through watching their daughters suffer from ED. They are desperate to at least stop ✋ the weight loss. They spend a lot of time insuring their daughters they are beautiful and perfect the way they are hoping to convince them they don’t need to lose weight anymore.

Aweful situation

i used to weigh 100lb bc i struggled to put on weight. i HATED it. i wanted to gain weight so badly bc i felt so disgustingly skinny

yeah:(( i totally understood her behavior in that moment

Miley is really shining lately and I am loving it! 😍

@@snoozyq9576 She’s really grown up and looks happier

I recently came across a lot of Miley's covers, blown away by her ability to be able to fit her voice to any genre. Honestly, used to find her like okay but not amazing. Good but just like any other pop star. Not that there is anything wrong with that but now I really see her talent. I feel like some of her most amazing songs didn't get as much attention. Also, the woman can make a mullet look good, that's talent in itself haha.

Because underage relationships are normalized way too much in this society

@@chrrycola2717 that's so true! I literally knew a girl who when we were 15 was dating a 24yr old guy... and he never caught a case which is unfortunate.

as she should

Honestly this is such a generalization. When I was 16/17 both me and my friends and classmates dated guys who were into their early 20's. Some are still together/married now. I get that some people may have had bad experience or see this as sketchy but it's not always the case. Maybe it's partly culturally because I'm from country in which age of consent is 16 and once you reach that noone really cares unless the other person is a looot older like 30+

@@mayapucuka5306 that’s not a good thing girl just because your friends were OK with an adult relationship doesn’t mean other girls are ready for that young girls are so impressionable and it’s so easy to manipulate them it just takes that one wrong person ( and id rather them be safe and not date grown men)

@@milatequila God provides

seriously. There NEEDS to be something in place to prevent that and to help those girls. Clearly, no one else in the industry wants to help them.

They do see it. That’s why it continues

I agree that video of Bjork is iconic, I’d do the same thing if someone had their camera in my kids face

Honestly like the Britney with an umbrella incident.. she was pushed so far by the paparazzi

It's reallyyyy hard to feel bad for the paparazzi when they're the inciting force to most of it

@@ancientfae7246 exactly. My face is one thing shove a camera in my daughter's face it's going down right then and there idgaf

Fr, I would get so mad when they would yell unnecessary shit to the celebrities and when they wouldn't stop taking pictures of them after they said stop. I will never understand on how the celebrities didn't attack them.

The sad thing is, if she actually had a support system she may not be where she is now. If her mother actually acted like a mother and never made that stupid comment that confirmed Amanda’s thought that she was only “of value when skinny” then Amanda wouldn’t have gotten into the eating disorder. If she had good friends she wouldn’t have spiraled so much... it’s just so sad that instead of helping her people either judged her or made her feel worse.

I wondered if some of her costars from all that that went on to bigger things checked up on her... But sometimes people make themselves inaccessible, so it's hard to know whether or not anyone tried to support her or whether she pushed them away

Da fuc was her agent doing. Why do they even get paid, editors of novelists are more supportive than these people

it's possible that people tried to help her and she pushed them away. i've had that happen to me before. you can't help someone who won't admit that they have a problem. my uncle is an alcoholic and we tried interventions but he refused to admit that he needed help. he kept lashing out at us, really hurting my mom and his daughters, and eventually ran away. when he finally came back it was of his own accord, after being estranged from his family for years due to his own choices. i feel really bad for amanda, she obviously needed help, but some people actively resist being helped.

Especially that dude provoking her outside the restaurant, fucking creep

Take care of yourself, value yourself, know you matter

Apparently she didn’t :/
