Amanda Bynes' odd behavior is starting to bring about concern for the 26-year old former Nickelodeon star. Over the past few years she has accumulated numerous traffic violations and was allegedly evicted from her apartment in New York City.
Bynes posted a photo of herself on Twitter last week where she was barely recognizable to many. She's seen in the photo holding a M.A.C. compact, heavy makeup and long fake eyelashes. She shows off her controversial cheek piercings that she got back in January. Fans didn't embrace the look too well from the once fresh-faced "Easy A" actress.
Bynes' recent flirtatious tweets to hip-hop artist Drake, suggests that she may be looking for a new man. The actress posted some photos of him and tweeted "@drake is a hot fellow".
Radar Online reported that Bynes is "blissfully unaware of her downward spiral and bizarre behavior".
"Amanda has absolutely no idea about the reputation she's getting for all of her weird behavior. In fact, when she got her DUI and those hit-and-run allegations all she talked about was the publicity she was finally getting," said a friend of Bynes' to Radar Online. "Amanda's just totally out of it lately, and any efforts by friends or family to help get her back on track go in one ear and out the other."
The pal also went on to explain that Bynes shut herself off from the real world and only communicates through Instagram and Twitter.
Last year, Bynes was arrested after side-swiping a police car in West Hollywood at 3 a.m. She was charged with driving under the influence and released the next morning, although her bail was set at $5,000. Since then, she was charged with two hit and run accidents and then had her BMW impounded for driving with a suspended license.
