Amanda Bynes has graduated college! She previously announced in her Paper magazine cover last November that she was on track to earn both an Associates and Bachelors in Merchandising Product Development from FIDM. She’d been at the school since 2014, where she quietly worked on her education and largely took a hiatus from public life. This recent news, then, comes as the first tweet since her cover story. Posting late last night, she said:
A few quick questions: is that a leopard print suit and tie underneath her friends graduation gown? Is he her new business partner in a novelty tuxedo business (which I’m told is quite profitable?) Will she return to the spotlight, as she told Paper? Her re-emergence from college reminds me of her lawyers comments weeks before a lawsuit was filed earlier this month by a treatment center she’d stayed in. Speaking to Access in April, he said:
“She’s doing remarkably well under the circumstances. This time around she realized herself after the recent Paper magazine interview and spread that she really wasn’t feeling like herself all of [the] sudden and that she wanted to address that. She wanted to address it right away before going back into show business and exploring show business again. It was her decision and her choice to address the situation, seek treatment, which I think is an incredibly mature way of handling this type of thing. Right now, her day-to-day is really just focusing on her well-being She’s exercising, yoga. She’s really focusing in on herself, which is very, very important. I know that she will be sure this time around to focus on herself and get better before she leaves the treatment center or wherever she’s seeking help currently.”
For once, I’m wishing the best to her in the journey towards recovery- and hopefully growth!
