Amanda Bynes refuses parents' financial help

Amanda Bynes refuses to take help from her parents even though they provide money or means for meals, shelter and transportation, it has been revealed.

A source said that the idea that the 28-year-old actress' parents have left her without a place to stay or money to live on is not true, as they have paid for a hotel but she opts to sleep on couches rather than stay in hotels, People Magazine reported.

After paparazzi photographed Bynes sleeping on a couch at an L.A. shopping mall on Nov. 6, she took it to her account to say she was not given money for a hotel so she had been staying with friends and fell asleep on a couch because didn't get enough sleep, adding that she hates her parents for still not giving her money for a hotel.

According to the insiders, Bynes' parents, Lynn and Rick, have been providing the financial means for their daughter, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, after she was released from a psychiatric facility on Oct. 30.
