Amanda Bynes: It's My Parents' Fault I Had to Sleep at a Shopping Mall

No, that wasn't Goldilocks snoozing outside Bloomingdales at the Beverly Center in L.A. on Thursday. It was Amanda Bynes — and, according to the actress, it was all her parents' fault.

The troubled 28-year-old, who recently revealed that she suffers from bipolar disorder, was photographed looking worse for wear napping on a mall couch. She had on red sweatpants and rubber sandals, a black jacket and sunglasses as she conked out among the shoppers.

After learning she was photographed, the Hairspray star  took to Twitter to explain the sad sight and placed the blame on the ongoing battle she's fighting against her parents, Lynn and Rick Bynes.

Bynes's battle with her parents is a nasty one. Her mother was once again appointed conservator of Amanda's estate and finances after convincing a judge that the former All That star was incapable of overseeing her money. (They claimed she was throwing away her $5 million fortune, buying strangers on the street Cartier jewelry and other gifts.) Meanwhile, Amanda has accused her father of physical abuse on multiple occasions.

Lynn and Rick, who were photographed packing up their L.A. home in advance of a move back to Texas, are now working to hire a third party to act as Amanda's conservator and be responsible for her daily needs.

"Her parents love her so much that they are willing to relinquish this little bit of control," a source told People of Amanda, who was released from a psychiatric hold on Oct. 30 against her parents' wishes. "Her mother being conservator is not doing her any good and Amanda is not progressing. They want someone she will respond to and work with. A professional conservator can live with her, have constant access to her and is equipped to deal with everything in a less emotional way."

A lawyer for Lynn wouldn't comment on the situation to Yahoo.

Until that new conservator is in place, Bynes's parents are giving her gift cards for her daily expenses, according to TMZ. So she has no cash, but has American Express gift certiicates in the amounts of $50 or $100 a day, to live off of.

To make ends meet, Bynes reportedly wants to get a job as a bartender, according to the website.

Amanda has reportedly had several offers of a place to stay other than a mall couch. One of those came from limelight loving Heidi Montag of The Hills fame. No word if Amanda reached out to her, but we are doubtful that would better the seemingly unstable star's situation.

But at this point, it's clear Amanda needs all the help she can get. Fingers crossed she gets it before it's too late.
