Amanda Bynes, once a rising star in the entertainment industry, faced a significant setback in her career in 2010. The actress, known for her roles in films like “She’s The Man,” found herself entangled in various controversies, ranging from DUI arrests to allegations of s*xual abuse against her father. However, one incident that grabbed headlines involved her expulsion from a gym due to inappropriate behavior, adding to the tumultuous period in her life.
Amid ongoing controversies, including shocking revelations made in the documentary “Quiet On Set: Dark Side Of TV” regarding former Nickelodeon Executive Dan Schneider, Bynes’ tumultuous journey has been under scrutiny. Reports surfaced, suggesting that Bynes underwent an abortion at the age of 13 after allegedly being impregnated by her boss, fueling further speculation and media attention.
The gym controversy involving Amanda Bynes added to her already troubled reputation. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Bynes struggled with mental health issues, leading to a series of incidents that tarnished her public image. In September 2012, TMZ reported a bizarre incident at Equinox gym, where Bynes disrupted her spin class by abruptly switching bikes and proceeding to cycle near a mirror in a provocative outfit, wearing a “tiny black strapless push-up bra” instead of appropriate gym attire. Her impromptu makeup session further escalated the situation, resulting in her expulsion from the class by the instructor, who was reportedly furious with her behavior.
While rumors circulated about Bynes being banned from the gym, there was no official confirmation of such action. Bynes herself has refuted wild reports about her behavior in the past, suggesting that the incident may have been exaggerated or misconstrued by the media.
Throughout her struggles, Bynes’ family played a significant role, including filing for conservatorship in 2013 after she underwent a 72-hour mental health evaluation. However, tensions arose within the family when Bynes accused her father of abuse in 2014, only to retract her statements later, attributing them to a “microchip” in her brain. In 2022, Bynes took steps towards regaining control of her life by filing to end her conservatorship, indicating her improved health and readiness to move forward, a decision supported by her parents. Despite her challenges, Bynes continues to strive for stability and recovery in her personal and professional life.
