Amanda Bynes reportedly broke up with her boyfriend Paul Michael just two weeks before she suffered a mental health crisis which led to her being placed under a psychiatric hold.
Paul has claimed the pair argued before Amanda was admitted to a psychiatric care facility after she was found wandering the streets naked and alone. The actress was seen walking near downtown Los Angeles late last month.
She reportedly flagged down a passing car and told the driver that she was "coming down from a psychotic episode", before calling 911 for herself.
Amanda has since been released from the treatment facility, according to a source close to the star.
