Listening to the CDAN Amanda Bynes podcast: a thread

Enty met Amanda in 2007 after her birthday (21st birthday) through a mutual friend from what I like about you

The night he met her she was happy go lucky, like the persona she displayed to the public. He said that he never would’ve foreseen the things that would go on later

That was the only night she was ever like that. He said after that it was worse and worse…

He saw Amanda and she told him a story that he used as a blind item #1 on his blog:

crazydaysandnights.net/2007/09/todays…

Then she wrote this to him (#1)

crazydaysandnights.net/2007/10/four-f…

This was referring to Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant. Her and enty had hoped that if this got out on Perez Hilton, etc. Nickelodeon would get shut down but it didn’t get much traction

When he saw her again, he said she was a little off and disconcert. She wasn’t the carefree person he saw before. When he asked her about it, she said it was because Sydney white (a movie she did) just came out and didn’t do well after hairspray did well

She said the word whore triggered her bc she the first time she heard it was on the set of “all that” (she was around 10) and the producer complained to another producer that that they hired actresses and not whores that would “F” (keep in mind the cast of all that are minors)

They would write off actors and to get other actors they could “F”

When he asked her if she ever had sex, she said “later” and looked as if she were remembering things and needed time to process. They didn’t see each other for 2 years

When he saw her, he said there was an obvious difference. She looked like she was on edge & possibly manic. She said that her ex Doug Reinhardt messed her up and gaslit her and turned her into the worst version of herself

When he jokingly asked her what version is he seeing she said “the friend version” in a way as if she was describing a character. She went through different versions of her self (work version, meeting version, sex version, bitch version)

And said version in different tones. He said she did about 12. She would change her look, tone, the way she was standing. She said that it’s how she got through life because it was easier and safer to be a character. If one version got hurt, her other versions would keep her safe

She said that when guys would use her for sex she puts them in a place where she hates her forever like producers that had sex with her and groped her

She was pretty much told that if she didn’t want to get fired and do what or who you’re told to do, you could move up from a bit player to television star. It took a huge toll on her. He pointed out how she looks so different from the last time he saw her a couple years ago

And she told him that back in late 2007 after he saw her, she wasn’t getting a lot of offers for gigs after the Sydney white ratings and needed money. She then said how she got offered to be in the book room 23 in exchange for exposure and potential acting gigs

Instead, she got offers to date wealthy men and because of that she got a 2 picture movie deal. She was trying to rationalize this and said that she originally agreed to be in the book so she could further her career

Then it triggered what she dealt with as a child because it’s what she did to get ahead as a child star.

She said she was raped and had to get an abortion and had to work with the person who did it

He went to a party with her and she started doing coke. At that point she was still supposed to be in hall pass &
Going back to school but as she was saying that she kept saying “I need a break” over and over. She said she didn’t know herself anymore.

She hates her parents bc they allowed her to get abused. She was able to recall at least 50 men who had raped her

crazydaysandnights.net/2007/12/ok-ok-…

This is the link to the second blind item amanda sent to enty about JL getting pregnant/raped by a producer. I messed up the link the first time.

When amanda recalled the things that had happened to her, she told enty that she would do anything to keep her job, even if it’s the most messed up thing in the world. Once when she was in her teens, she was at a party and did a lot of coke

She began jumping and getting agitated and she crashed into a glass case with trophies in it. When her manager came in and asked her what happened, she turned on one of her versions, pointed at a girl next to her and said she pushed her into the case. That girl got fired.

He said that as the years progressed, their communication became more sporadic and less personal (not asking how the other person is doing) and was more focused on what she wanted to tell him. It was because she had an agenda and wanted to tell him this stuff.

When she was filming easy a, he saw her about a dozen times. He said in those times he’d see different versions of her. There would be times where she’d seem somewhat close to the “old amanda” that he met in 2007/after her 21st birthday to how she was at the party

Where she paranoid & manic. Even though Amanda’s performance on easy a was great, it took a lot for them to get that out of her. She knew while filming easy a that it would be the end of her career and she wanted to make sure everyone knew it was over.

On her “good days” the produces would try to get her to film her scenes as much as possible and as quick as possible. On her “bad days”, she wasn’t that much different than what the world saw a few days before she got her conservatorship in 2013.

Her paranoia and mania affected her a lot. She would have people waiting outside her trailer. There were a lot of scenes in “easy a” that were shot in actual houses & the days where she was supposed to shoot scenes in those houses, they’d be her worst days.

She was convinced that people were secretly filming her. One night she broke into one of the houses and started looking for cameras because she was convinced there were hidden cameras in them. She always felt like people were watching her. Enty believed that it wasn’t just her

Being paranoid or delusional but more of how her entire life she was being watched, always filmed, and had secret recordings of herself so she assumed that other people made secret recordings of her. The night she got caught breaking into the house to look for cameras, the owners

Called the police. One of the security guards from “easy a” showed up and got the police and owner to be quiet about it since it was a small town. The owner was also getting paid a lot for his house being used. Amanda has also gotten caught having sex in public by the police

But was sent away with a warning.

So going back to the night where he was at the party with her and she was doing a lot of coke and saying “I need a break” over and over, she opened up to him and told him how she was forced to do a lot of things with a lot of men and that she doesn’t remember the last time

She went on a date & didn’t get date raped. She said that everyone expected to have sex with her & that she felt like it was easier for her to do and only did it because she didn’t want to have any problems with anyone. She said that no guy has ever respected her

& every single guy would use her for sex and then never talk to her again. She said that second dates were rare. He brought up how she mentioned that she got molested by her dad but he believes she meant that because her dad/parents let her get molested, they were essentially

Doing it.

Enty said that amanda lights up whenever she talks about school because she wants to have a normal life. She wanted to go to a normal, real school where she didn’t “get molested by the tutors” or a studio school where every male tutor took a turn molesting the kids.

She believed that going to fashion school would be the closest she ever got to that and that everything would be bliss. She told him that she had a plan to get rid of the good girl roles so she would have more time for school.

Her plan was maxim. She did it for press for easy a but ended up wearing a lot of lingerie to shed the “good girl” image. Even though she was supposed to be at FIDM that semester, she wasn’t going to class. She was flying off to see the men she met from “room 23”. When she made

The money she would have made from “hall pass”, she told those men to fuck off. When it was time for her to do press for “easy a”, she announced on Twitter that she was done acting. But she’s been done long before that.

When “all that” reached out to her for a reunion, she declined. When she got offered tv shows and roles, she declined. She didn’t want anything to do with acting especially not nick. She knew that she needed to make a certain amount of money and once she made that money she quit

Acting. He saw her again in 2012. She called him at 2:30 in the morning and insisted on seeing him in an ihop. She was wearing oversized sunglasses & a massive trench coat that was way too big on her. They stayed at ihop until 5 am.

She told him that Maxim was her way out of acting and thought that this would be her chance. She’s wanted out of acting since “what I like about you” and tried getting fired and making the show end but because she didn’t make it public, she wasn’t able to get fired.

She said she thought about playboy but didn’t want people looking at her body like that so she did maxim. She told him a story that he used as a blind item. She told him that her and jennie Garth‘s personalities clashed and that on the outside, it seemed like they were nice

But in reality they hated each other. Even though when she was on “what I like about you” and looked like a goody goody 2 shoes, she was also having sex when Jennie or her husband were nearby and had her own collection of videos. She would leave condoms in trailers just to spite

Jennie.

He didn’t see her again until 2016. She felt like things were starting to change because in 2013 she tried telling the world what she went through but no one was listening. People were starting to come forward about Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon and people were more skeptical

Due to the allegations. She said back then, there was no social media so tweeners did what they were told so they wouldn’t get fired & their money hungry parents would drop them off and go to work. Because of social media, the producers have to be more careful

With who they choose because people can speak out. They’ll pick the most desperate & money hungry people. If anyone tried to step out of the line, their side projects would disappear (since the pedophiles in Hollywood protect each other, speaking out would ruin your career).

She said that things have changed now since some of these victims are long removed from Hollywood and acting and don’t have jobs to lose. Two people started speaking out and more people will speak out. She was right. Between 2016-2018, many producers got fired and charged

Along with Dan Schneider. Amanda was excited and hopeful that something was gonna happen and these producers were going to be held accountable because no one listened to her in 2013 and called her crazy but the reason why she’s not “100% normal” is because of what she endured

As a child.

In November 2017, amanda emailed him and wrote him this blind item:

crazydaysandnights.net/2017/11/blind-…

She said she wanted to name names but is worried that what happened in 2013 will happen to her again and no one will listen to her.

This happened around the time the Loud House situation (variety.com/2017/tv/news/l…) and Nickelodeon began looking into all their producers. This is one of the reasons why Dan Schneider got fired a few months later in March 2018. After Dan Schneider got fired she sent enty

This infamous blind item:

crazydaysandnights.net/2018/07/blind-…

She said that because people didn’t give her any credit for the downfall of nick and mocked her, she didn’t want to be involved and doesn’t feel like she has her own voice.
