Again (for I don't know - the fourth or fifth time!). I AM NOT DEFENDING AMANDA BYNES ACTIONS. What I am disgusted with are the comparisons to Lindsay Lohan and a train wreck, like One Mistake, makes you an alcoholic or druggie or burn out! Like everyone here is so perfect and they've never made a mistake!

It's got nothing to do with defending drunk drivers, it's got to do with being so quick to judge and make such harsh comments about a 20-something girl who made a big mistake and I'm sure is getting plenty of "lectures" from her loved ones.

The fact that she was left in jail overnight and was not immediately bailed out shows me that she DOES have people who care about her, that they are trying to teach her a lesson, that no ones making excuses for her. The complete opposite of Lindsay Lohan who's family blames the other parent, the paparazzi, the public, the courts and the legal system as if she's done absolutely nothing wrong and doesn't deserve everything's that's happened to her.

One DUI does not make a train wreck, one DUI doesn't even make you an alcoholic - one DUI means you used extremely poor judgment, and got caught and must now pay the price. You can be as disgusted as you want by Amanda Bynes ACTIONS, but some of the comments here towards Amanda Bynes, the PERSON, are rather harsh and uncalled for.

I support your stance that Amanda made a mistake and no she is not the next Lindsey. I think she will learn and move on from this. However once a person goes on the celeb path they know they have chosen to live their life under a microscope. Whether they want to be or not, they are role models because there are people who look up to them. They will make mistake because they are human, and their fans will learn from watching them handle their mistakes. Hopefully she won't do this again and she will be okay.
 
hm she seems a bit sketchy in the past year or so. she got pulled over a few weeks ago and left the scene before actually getting the ticket and had to go pick it up down at the station...now a dui.

also remember last summer when she had all those weird tweets about quitting acting posted at like 4 am?

i hope she doesn't have more serious issues. it wouldn't surprise me though unfortunately. sad too...i've always liked her! i hope she gets her stuff together!
 
I heard about that too, he said that she had a blood alcohol level of zero:wacko:..umm if that was the case she wouldn't have received a DUI:confused1:

Well, not necessarily. You can be DUI/OUI on things other than alcohol.

Driving/Operating Under the Influence of anything that impairs your judgment, including prescription medication.
 
TMZ has a video of her leaving a club allegedly wasted and getting behind the wheel. I couldn't tell. If they felt she was so drunk why didn't they call the police?

And then another of her being assisted out of a club into the back seat of a car. No crime in that.
 
Troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who was arrested last week for DUI, is seen driving on the curb by the Chateau Marmont while also texting on her phone as she drove to Greystone Manor in Los Angeles. It is illegal to use your mobile phone for texting while driving in California.
