Bynes’s favorite saying is “Whatever is meant to be will be, and you just have to trust that things happen for a reason.” Unfortunately, Amanda Bynes’s fall from grace clearly proves another well-known saying “Health Is Wealth.” Sadly, Bynes has become just another popular child star whose career went awry due to health issues and erratic public behavior.

Unfortunately, Bynes was unable to progress her career on her own, and she struggled to make the transition from child artist to adult celebrity. After failing to launch her career, the young actress reportedly stopped pursuing acting altogether.
Her professional worries affected her public behavior, which became extremely erratic in 2012 when the actress was arrested for driving under the influence and causing a hit-and-run accident. Even though Bynes moved to New York to pursue her acting career, her bizarre behavior continued to make headlines.
She was arrested again in 2013 when she threw a bong out of her apartment. Apparently, her social media followers had begun noticing the actress’s weird behavior, particularly when she posted bizarre comments about sex and her desire to look like Blac Chyna.
