Amanda Bynes: 'I Have An Eating Disorder So I Have A Hard Time Staying Thin'
April 5 2013, Published 7:27 a.m. ET
Amanda Bynes took to Twitter Thursday claiming she has an eating disorder, and bashing the media for their ongoing coverage of her goings-on.
"I have an eating disorder so I have a hard time staying thin," the What I Like About You star wrote late Thursday, a day after several outlets published photos of her looking disheveled on the streets of New York on her 27th birthday.
"They write a news article about every tweet I write and I hate the pictures they choose," she wrote of the media. "They repeat what I tweet then add a bad photo."
The former Nickelodeon star wrote that the only stories she reads about herself is when she gives an interview.
"Don't trust what u read on sites!" she wrote. "Only use photos from my twitter when writing an article about me."
Earlier this week, Bynes claimed she had a doppelganger in New York that the media mistakenly thinks is her.
The actress made headlines in 2012 creating plenty of legal blotter, including a DUI, a hit-and-run, as well as two incidents of driving with a suspended license.
