Add Nick Cannon to the growing list of people who are concerned about Amanda Bynes’ erratic behavior.
The star, 32, told Howard Stern in an on-air interview that he has tried to reach out to Amanda, with no success.
Cannon, who is married to Mariah Carey, worked with Bynes, 27, when he appeared on the show All That from 1998-2000. Bynes starred on the show from 1996-2002.
“I worked on Amanda’s show…that’s like my little sister,” Nick said after Stern brought up the subject of the erratic actress.
“To see someone you’ve seen at 9 (years old), she’s running around with a snotty nose and now to see her, that’s like wow, man, it’s sad.
“I tried to reach out.”
When asked by Stern how he tried to reach out, Nick responded, “That’s the thing she doesn’t have any of her people anymore.”
Bynes’ behavior has grown increasingly erratic during the past few months and as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively her parents are highly concerned about her.
This past weekend Bynes was photographed at Revel in Atlantic City, where she freaked out.
