Amanda Bynes - A Life Unwravels in the Media Glare

Amanda Bynes who got her start as a Nickelodeon kid's television star, is arrested by the Police for drug possession and reckless endangerment.   As the press goes after her and the story, she decides to use the internet and her Twitter account to attempt to tell her side of the story.  Unfortunately, the manner in which some of it was done only raised more questions than it answered.

"I was sexually harassed... he slapped my vagina" was one such charge leveled at the Police that stirred the public.

As time progresses, the comments and online conversations Bynes is having with fans and the public at large become more and more strange.  As the public learns more, they realize that it is not just the arrest they are finding out about, but a celebrity's private troubles.  The shift in public attitude went from curiosity about a celebrity to actual concern for her health.

After an arrest for starting a fire on a random neighbor's driveway, Bynes was put on a 72-hour psychiatric hold.  It turns out this incident was the breakthrough for her finally getting help for her bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia, and was a window into a celebrity's life that the public had never seen before.
