Following Amanda Bynes’ arrest for DUI earlier this week, many took it as a sure sign that she was about embark on another funny/sad downward spiral of drug-fueled insanity.
The fact Bynes’ parents didn’t know where she was in the days following her arrest, and let their conservatorship expire in the first place, was also not a great sign.
But the surest indication of all that we’re in for another Amanda meltdown is the fact that she’s returned to her old social media stomping grounds.
Or rather, “Ashley Banks” – which is believed to be Amanda’s online alias – is back on Twitter and firing off witty comments left and right.
So how do we know Ashley is Amanda’s alter-ego? Well, as you may have guessed, she’s not that great at keeping secrets:
When TMZ tweeted recently that Bynes had been kicked out of fashion school for excessive partying and erratic behavior, “Ashley” immediately replied:
“@TMZ I WAS NEVER KICKED OUT!”
Like we said, James Bond, she ain’t. But believe it or not, that’s far from the funniest Twitter gem that “Ashley” has dropped in the days since Amanda’s arrest.
Some other gems from Ms. “Banks” include:
Obviously, Ashley Banks could be someone simply pretending to be Amanda, but if that’s the case, the person responsible does an amazing job of impersonating her.
Either way, given that Amanda was reportedly seen talking to herself and appearing to be on drugs, the fact that it’s so believable says a lot about the situation.
Here’s hoping she gets the help she obviously needs.
