Troubled Amanda Bynes Secret Life Exposed, ‘Life Coach’ Never Leaves Her Side

Troubled star Amanda Bynes’ secret life out of the spotlight has been exposed. The mentally ill actress is working her way through fashion school, but it has been reported that Bynes has cut ties with her family and spends all her time with her “life coach” who never leaves her side.

Radar Online has revealed Amanda Bynes is almost always accompanied by a “life coach” who she has had an inseparable relationship with for the past three years since her infamous meltdown.

Photographs have been published of Amanda Bynes at the Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing (FIDM) in Los Angeles. A fellow student at the school exposed Amanda Bynes and her strange relationship with a woman named Joy Stevens.

The pair are allegedly never apart on campus. Bynes has cut herself off from her family and exclusively spends time with Stevens.

A classmate at FIDM, who takes Social Media Marketing courses with Bynes, told the media that the 30-year-old actress’ companion is always by her side.

“She’s with Joy, her life coach, 24/7. She accompanies her absolutely everywhere she goes. I’ve never seen them apart. At first I thought she was her mom, but another person at school told me she had nothing to do with her family and she’s just a minder.”

Amanda Bynes’ classmate also told reporters that Stevens apparently travels with the actress as well.

“Joy even goes with her to New York. [Amanda’s] every move is shadowed by the life coach. I don’t know if Amanda lives with her or she has a place on her own. The life coach is a lot older than her.”

The student even sent Snapchat screenshots of Amanda and Joy sitting in what appears to be a cafe in FIDM.

On Joy Stevens’ LinkedIn page claims that she works especially close with her patients and specializes in one-on-one treatment.

“… recovery companion specializing in addiction recovery. I also provide companionship/coaching to people with mental health diagnosis. I help to create a safe, stable environment for individuals who have found that they need a more personalized, one-on-one treatment plan.”

The former actress started her acting career as a young child at the age of seven.

Since enrolling at FIDM in 2014, Bynes has settled into a much more low-key life. Amanda had been accused of showing up to classes “clearly high” on weed and was alleged to have attempted to pay people to do her homework for her.

Bynes has reportedly adapted a new life on campus and sources say that the clinically diagnosed schizophrenic seems entirely “normal” now.

“In class she is totally normal — she is always quiet and does her work, she isn’t disruptive and doesn’t make any fuss.

“She doesn’t ask any questions in front of class. I’m pretty sure she’s taking her medication because there’s nothing weird about her anymore, she acts very normal.

“She’s definitely not high on weed or anything like that, we’d notice if she was doing anything like that. I’m sure she does well in class, but I’ve not personally seen her grades.”

Bynes was admitted into a treatment center in Los Angeles in October 2014, after a spree of worrying actions including setting a fire in a stranger’s driveway and going off on incredibly odd Twitter rants.

Bynes has also accused her father of abusing her, which she later denied, claiming that there had been a “microchip in my brain.”

Amanda Bynes’ parents, Rick and Lynn, moved from California to their native Texas to be closer to family shortly afterward. Bynes has remained in California and is said to have cut off all communication with her family.

Bynes appears to be trying to get her life together by attending school and hiring a life coach. However, eyewitnesses say that the former actress definitely still has her vices.

“She smokes a lot of cigarettes. She’ll have two in our ten minute break between classes. Before and after class she’s always got a cigarette in her hand. And she always wears sunglasses, she never takes them off, even in class, it’s kind of weird, wearing them inside.

“Then sometimes she has bodyguards with her. Not every day, but some days she’ll show up with two huge burly guys who accompany her. They don’t go into class with her but they stay at school.”

Back in 2014, Amanda was arrested for a DUI but was never prosecuted. It was reported that she had since given up driving and that her life coach was in charge of her car whenever they went to the FIDM campus in downtown LA.
