In February, Amanda Bynes filed to end her 9-year conservatorship.
The term « conservatorship » can be described as someone who has control over one’s actions or financial situations due to the person’s mental wellbeing or age restrictions. Many people became more familiar with the term when Britney Spears was under a conservatorship with her father, James Spears, where he had control of her estate, money, and decisions. The conservatorship began in 2008 and ended in 2021. The #FreeBritney movemen t began with the power of social media as well as Spear’s fanbase that helped her achieve her goal to be freed from her father’s overbearing power. With the light on conservatorships, many became aware that Amanda Bynes was also under one. In 2013, Bynes’ mother, Lynn Bynes, became conservator after the She’s the Man and What A Girl Wants actress got involved in reckless behavior.
