Amanda Bynes Is Removing Her Face Tattoo, Shows Her Progress in New Video

Amanda Bynes may be free from her conservatorship, but she’s not quite ready to step back into the spotlight.

LOS ANGELES -- Actor Amanda Bynes was released Tuesday from a court conservatorship that put her life and financial decisions in her parents' control for nearly nine years.Ventura County Superior Court Judge Roger Lund terminated the conservatorship at a hearing in a courtroom in the Southern California city of Oxnard, her attorney David A. Esquibias said.“The court determines that the conservatorship is no longer required and that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship of the person no longer exist,” Lund wrote in court documents outlining the case before he issued his decision.Bynes, now 35, shot to fame on a pair of Nickelodeon shows as a teenager, but struggles with mental health, substance abuse and the law prompted her parents to establish court control through a conservatorship in 2013.Lund said this week that Bynes had demonstrated competency to manage her own affairs, including her mental health and other medical treatment.Bynes' conservatorship played out, and came to an end, far more quietly and less contentiously than that of Britney Spears, who had a long, often bitter and public fight to free herself from a similar arrangement.Bynes' parents agreed that the conservatorship should end and no one else objected to the court's decision.
