A petition was officially filed to the Ventura County Superior Court in California on February 23, alongside a capacity declaration the day prior, asking for the termination of conservatorship for Amanda Bynes. A court hearing has been scheduled for March 22, 2022. Following reports, and according to Amanda’s attorney David A. Esquibias, Amanda wants to terminate her conservatorship permanently. She feels her condition has improved and protection of the court is no longer a necessity.
Since an initial post on Instagram, Amanda has gone on to share a few more snippets of her life with fans via non-conservatorship-related posts. Comments on all her posts are limited to this subject. Though the account is not verified, Amanda’s attorney, Tamar Arminak, confirmed its legitimacy.
It is also interesting to note that this is the second time Amanda has directly addressed her legal arrangement on social media. “Today, I want to talk about a controversial topic: my conservatorship case,” she said. “I have been going to a treatment center that charges $5,200 a month. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t go to a therapist who takes my insurance for $5,000 less a month. This is why I’ve asked to see the judge next week regarding this conservatorship issue. Thank you so much guys for hearing me out. I’m sorry that this is what I’m dealing with, and I’m sorry that I put my problems onto the internet, but this is what life has come to. So, thank you guys so much for always supporting me. Love you all. Peace out. I appreciate your love and support. Love you guys.”
