Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes has been placed on a psychiatric hold after she was spotted roaming naked around Los Angeles, according to TMZ. The report comes just a few days after Bynes backed out of a panel at this year’s 90s Con in Connecticut, citing illness.
Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Bynes was walking through downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning alone and without any clothes. The 36-year-old actress supposedly waved down a car and informed the driver that she was coming down from a “psychotic episode” before she called 911 herself.
Bynes was reportedly then taken to a nearby police station, where a mental health team concluded that she should be hospitalized. Per TMZ, she has now been placed under a 5150 psychiatric hold at an unknown facility. These involuntary holds typically last 72 hours but can be extended if a patient continues to meet the criteria for hospitalization.
