Amanda Bynes DROPPED By Agent, Publicist, Lawyer



Amanda Bynes' management team is abandoning ship -- her agent, publicist and entertainment lawyer have all dropped the actress as a client in the past couple of weeks ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Bynes tell us ... all 3 people are telling similar stories -- Bynes was a dream client for years ... but she became extremely difficult in the past 12 months, some say uncontrollable.

One source tells us the management team hasn't been able to get in touch with Bynes for the past month -- no phone calls, no visits, nada.

According to one source, all 3 members of the team made multiple efforts to help Amanda before she went radio silent -- but Bynes was not receptive.

Eventually, the team decided to cut bait ... acknowledging they can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped.

As for Amanda, sources close to the 26-year-old tell us ... Bynes feels she no longer needs their services because she’s retired from acting and moving into another line of work -- fashion.

We tried to reach out to a rep for Bynes -- but, well, she doesn't have one anymore.

I watched like 5 or 6 videos of these two pets last night on youtube.

my dog and cat used to wrassle for hours. They didn't really like each other though, lol.

Well, the cat loved my dog but my dog was not a fan. But she was whipped so she went along with the shenanigans.

Not that she's still super famous or anything, but maybe she is just sick of the whole thing. The DUI stuff is inexcusable, though.

this is really sad
squirrels_oh_no 21st-Sep-2012 02:41 pm (UTC)
It's obvious she's had some kind of breakdown that has led to substance abuse. Those around her need to realize this and get her the help she needs before she kills herself or someone else.
sastra_fuss 21st-Sep-2012 02:42 pm (UTC)
Well if she is retired, what does she need them for?
thedpmiss 21st-Sep-2012 02:51 pm (UTC)
I was thinking the same, apart from the lawyer...

yeah. or maybe she let them go bc she's trying to design clothing now? wouldn't you require a different type of representation for a different field?
dandyxwarhol 21st-Sep-2012 04:00 pm (UTC)
Yeah... Plus the article says she's the one not returning their phone calls. Seems more like she's the one that dropped them.
dubiously 21st-Sep-2012 05:48 pm (UTC)
Yea the title is misleading since it's not her criminal attorney.
die2nitelive4ev 21st-Sep-2012 02:42 pm (UTC)
If she has real issues this is a dick thing to do, she needs more support not everyone abandoning her.
saintssin 21st-Sep-2012 02:49 pm (UTC)
Agreed.

You have to consider that some of them have probably known her since she was a kid. I guess she may have switched reps over time, but it's still sad that those people would give up on her.

Not that I blame them, but still.
thetrustoryofme 21st-Sep-2012 02:53 pm (UTC)
true. but the optimist in me wants to think that, maybe in a business sense they are cutting ties, but that they will still preserve at least some semblance of a friendly relationship with her and help her through what she's dealing with. i mean, i think theyve been with her for years... they have to be more than just in business together. no one is that cruel... right? :/

Caring about your clients is vastly different from providing focused emotional support during a life crisis.
r4wrdinosaur 21st-Sep-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
True, but your agent and publicist should not be your support system. You pay them to sell you. They were her employees, not her friends.
bee_xx3 21st-Sep-2012 03:32 pm (UTC)
Family and friends yes, but your agent and lawyer do not have any personal connections to you lol. If you're a liability, you gotta go.
ponpiri 21st-Sep-2012 03:49 pm (UTC)
Eh they're not obligated to do anything especially if they aren't being paid. That's what her parents are for.

Dayum. Well, I guess it doesn't help that she said she was retired from acting if her publicist didn't know she was. Kind of makes the job redundant.

holy shit
