Exclusive Details
Amanda Bynes has graduated from a prominent fashion school in Los Angeles — and she appears to be doing great after recently re-entering a mental health facility.
The former Nickelodeon star shared a photo of herself Monday in a cap and gown next to a fellow graduating pal, captioning the post … “FIDM graduate 2019 #fidmgraduation.” Amanda’s got her hair pretty long right now, and it’s dyed blonde and pink.
We’re also told Amanda came off a bit awkward at times during the graduation, but clearly had it together enough to pose for some selfies with her classmates.
Amanda opened up a lot in the feature, revealing that starring role in 2006’s “She’s the Man” sent into a spiral of depression. She also blamed a lot of her issues on drug use. At the time of the article — November 2018 — Amanda said she was 4 years sober.
Amanda was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and has been under a conservatorship for the past 5 years, but the problems began several years earlier.
As far as FIDM goes … Amanda’s been enrolled since 2014, and has been attending on-and-off. She took a break last year to get back into acting, but it appears Amanda’s been pounding the pavement fashion-wise since getting right again.
Congrats!!!
