Troubled actress Amanda Bynes won’t face probation violation action and appears to be doing better, according to reports.
A Ventura County judge extended the 28-year-old actress' temporary conservatorship to June 23, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney will not pursue a probation violation for Bynes after her Sept. 28 arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Bynes was on probation for a 2012 drunk driving arrest.
"Based on the police reports, we don't believe there was a violation,"
DA spokeswoman Jane Robison told the Daily News.
Bynes’ mother, Lynn Bynes, has been serving as Amanda’s conservator since 2013, giving her control of the actress’ medical and financial decisions.
“I am glad the arrangement is continuing. The legal process is
working in Amanda’s favor,” her attorney David Esquibias told Access Hollywood.
Bynes has behaved erratically and lashed out at her parents on Twitter last year. She was treated at a psychiatric facility for less than a month and released in October.
"Amanda is doing much better from where she was months ago,"
an unnamed family source told People. "She has her own apartment and is much happier. She and her parents are getting along and Amanda is clear-headed, more focused and has more independence."
