Amanda Bynes was spotted gorging at a Sunset Blvd. diner in
Los Angeles late Thursday, hours after the troubled actress won her release
from a psychiatric facility, TMZ reported.
A hearing officer said the 28-year-old Bynes could not be held
involuntarily despite her doctor’s insistence that she is mentally ill, TMZ said.
She reportedly was lucid and on medication and asked to be released.
The “Hairspray” actress and former Nickelodeon child star was placed on
an involuntary medical hold at a Pasadena hospital on Oct. 10 after claiming
that a “microchip” in her brain led her to falsely accuse her dad of sexual abuse.
Doctors treating Bynes had gotten a 30-day extension of her involuntary hold, but that
changed Thursday.
Also this week, a probate conservatorship gave her mother, Lynn Bynes,
control over her daughter's estate while she remains in round-the-clock
treatment.
In her court filings, mom Lynn Bynes cited the former Nickelodeon
star's recent DUI arrest in California and erratic public behavior in New York
as she argued that Bynes poses a "substantial risk" to herself and
others, TMZ.com first reported.
Bynes’ first night of freedom saw her chow down – alone – on fried
chicken, salmon, guacamole and two different salads, according to TMZ.
She was also in search of a hotel.
