Disability advocates say Amanda Bynes' conservatorship case is not the norm (unknown)

Amanda Bynes' conservatorship was terminated without contention. Disability advocates say her case is not the norm and conservatorships still need to be ...

"There are a lot of conservatorships where everyone is working in good faith to try to help and support a person," Brennan-Krohn said. "So it's similar to a power of attorney, although with support decisionmaking, you're still the person who can make the choice," Brennan-Krohn said. "So it's a very paternalistic and ableist view that her conservatorship was necessary," Wu said. "Millions of people across the United States are under guardianship very similar to what Britney and Amanda went through," Wu said. "And I think there's a real paternalism in that ... view of people with disabilities as not fully adult, not fully human." Her case has rarely played out in the public eye and draws a contrast to that of pop star Britney Spears, whose conservatorship was dissolved after a protracted, public court battle and has led to legal reform efforts in California.

Amanda's lawyer has explained how her case is nothing like the #FreeBritney movement, despite the coincidental timing.

“I am excited about my upcoming endeavors — including my fragrance line — and look forward to sharing more when I can.” This is why I've asked to see the judge next week regarding this conservatorship issue,” she added. And on Tuesday, Mar. 22, Judge Roger L. Lund terminated Amanda’s conservatorship after almost nine years, saying: “The conservatorship is no longer needed or required. Amanda Bynes was just 10 years old when she first shot to fame in the Nickelodeon series All That in 1996. And I'm so sorry to whoever I hurt and whoever I lied about because it truly eats away at me,” she said at the time. Her parents vehemently denied the claims, and Amanda later tweeted that he had never abused her.
