I'd like to put up their worst photos on my twitter until they only start putting up my twitter photos when writing a story when there is NO story, just an awful photo posted with instead of a caption, they say I have erratic behavior when I do NOTHING wrong. There's NOTHING with my life, other than you putting up awful candid photo after photo. I'm working out, it's hard getting in shape with an eating disorder. Please follow me on twitter then look forward to be sued if you if say I have erratic behavior or am living my life wrong in anyway.

139 Amanda Bynes Tweet @AmandaBynes - Tweeted on 16th April 2013 21:03 @ComplexMag Stop acting like I'm doing something wrong. I'm obsessed with myself on twitter. Also, my video last night was perfection. I'm so sick of the articles u write about me. I want every fake article deleted. Ur d--- whipped by my ugly ex @ducidni who's looks and talent have always been questionable to me, him being the ugly duckling that he is and all. U quote him non stop, then take professional shots of him for ur covers, his best photos aren't s--- compared to mine at my best. The photo u chose of Aubrey for her cover is awful. You make people look bad, stop acting like you know anything about what men like. I don't stop getting follwed or hit on every place l go. I'm not trying to sing, but if I did (I got offered an Interscope record deal right after I filmed Hairspray which you might know if you sat down and did a normal interview. I still might take them up on their offer) get the facts as opposed to talking s---. My music is going to be sicker then whatever the f--- kind of music Scott tries to do. Stop writing articles without speaking to me first.

Shoplifting Incident and Twitter Rant

On October 8th, 2014, a Barneys department store in New York City called the police reporting that Bynes had placed a hat on her head and left the store without paying for the item. No charges were filed after Bynes signed a no-trespass affidavit barring her from entering the store. In an interview with People Magazine,[24] Bynes claimed the incident was based on a misunderstanding and that she had left to store to get her handbag out of her car after being harassed by paparazzi.

"I had been harassed by a man – a man and this woman were basically trying to take my picture inside the store, and so I asked them to stop taking it, but they wouldn't … They were like paparazzi but undercover. I walked out of the store, and the sensor went off. I didn't realize I was wearing my cap. And the cap – I was purchasing it, and I was actually still shopping."

The same day, the entertainment news magazine In Touch Weekly[23] published an article describing Bynes' odd behavior witnessed by reporters several days prior in which she claimed to have a microchip implanted in her head. That evening, Bynes posted a series of tweets announcing she would sue In Touch for lying about her in the article (shown below left). On October 10th, Bynes tweeted several accusations that her father verbally and physically abused her as a child. That day, TMZ[25] reported that Bynes was fleeing New York after hearing that her parents planned to put her in a mental health facility. Also on October 10th, Bynes tweeted that her father never abused her and that the microchip in her brain persuaded her to tweet the accusations.

On September 19th, People Magazine[5] published an interview with Bynes, who denied that she had driven while intoxicated:
