Amanda Bynes to Be Released From Rehab by Late December
Troubled former child star Amanda Bynes will be released from rehab by Christmas, according to reports.
TMZ reported earlier today that Bynes will be released from rehab by the end of December. Bynes has been in a California rehab facility since September, when she was discharged from a mental institution.
Little information is available about Bynes stay in the mental institution and rehab facility. This is because doctors and family are trying to keep her struggle private. In early October, the former child star's parents Lynn and Rick Bynes released a statement about their daughter's privacy.
Lynn also spoke to People magazine about her daughter.
"Please know that neither myself or other family members have ever released any information regarding her treatment or diagnosis. We truly believe in keeping our daughter's situation private for now. We appreciate everyone's heartfelt support and we hope that she can get some privacy and the respect she deserves during this trying time. Both my husband and I love Amanda very much and we know that she will get through this situation," Lynn Bynes said to People Magazine.
The mother of the troubled star also implored fans not to believe everything they hear about her and her daughter.
"I would really like everyone out there to know that almost 99 percent of the things written about my daughter in various media outlets are false or misleading. Unless it's a statement issued by our family attorney, Tamar Arminak, please take everything you read about Amanda with a grain of salt," Lynn Bynes said.
