DENIED! Judge Rejects Amanda Bynes' Appeal To Be Released From Psych Ward
Aug. 1 2013, Published 7:04 p.m. ET
The streets of Los Angeles will be free of Amanda Bynes, for now at least.
A judge has denied the troubled starlet's appeal to be released from an involuntary psych hold at mental health facility in Ventura County, Calif., Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
The judge -- who conducted the hearing at the facility -- cited the fact she is not stable on her medication and has not yet been formally diagnosed as the reasons for the decision, a source close to the situation revealed.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, 27-year-old Bynes was placed on a 5150 -- a hold because someone is said to be a danger to themselves -- after starting a fire in a Thousand Oaks driveway last week.
The starlet's mom, Lynn, has petitioned to become her daughter's conservator.
The ex-Nickelodeon star will now remain at the hospital until at least August 9, when a judge in probate court will rule on her mother's request for conservatorship.
