The Amanda Bynes saga continues to get sadder by the day, as it becomes increasingly apparent that the former child star is suffering from delusions that may be the result of a severe mental illness.
It all started when Bynes was arrested for DUI last week.
Since then, she’s been exhibiting increasingly erratic behavior, with witnesses reporting they’ve seen Bynes talking to herself, conversing with inanimate objects and crashing into pedestrians while riding a bike in Manhattan.
Shockingly, Bynes has exhibited even stranger behavior in the past few days, and her recent comments to a tabloid reporter have left fans begging the actress to seek psychological help.
“I want a dollar a day from every person who [is] reading my mind,” Bynes told Life & Style. She went on to expose her breasts to the reporter and talk about her plans to get plastic surgery to alter her “hideous” appearance.
Even more distressing are witness accounts from Amanda’s recent trip to a hair salon in Brooklyn.
Bynes reportedly spent six hours and $2,000 having her hair dyed purple. She then changed her clothes and smoked marijuana in plain view of the other patrons.
“She asked me to book her a flight and drive her to the airport,” one witness claims. “She started screaming, ‘Please don’t leave me! Please help me!'”
Customers and workers at the salon claim Bynes also dumped several bottles of prescription pills on a counter and swallowed large quantities of Oxycontin and Roxicodone – both potent opiates.
The pills seemed to have little effect on Bynes, which led some witnesses to conclude that she’s developed a tolerance as the result of a long period of abuse.
Recent reports indicate that Bynes’ mother is planning a trip to NYC to attempt to convince her daughter to enter rehab.
