All Alone! Troubled Amanda Bynes Ditched Longtime Life Coach Before Entering Rehab
March 1 2019, Published 7:17 p.m. ET
Months before Amanda Bynes checked herself back into rehab, she got rid of her longtime life coach, a source exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com.
The troubled starlet had not been seen with her life coach, Joy Stevens, in the final months before graduating from the Los Angeles Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
"I know she would have her life coach with her everywhere she went," the source who attended FIDM with Bynes, 32, said. "Even if she's going to the bathroom, her life coach would go with her. That woman would not leave her side."
"But in the last few months of school, I no longer saw her life coach with her. I thought it was weird."
After the New Year, the informant said Bynes seemed to let the stress of Hollywood get to her.
"A bunch of us got together right after the New Year — I want to say mid January — and Amanda was telling us how she was excited to get back into acting, but that it has been a harder transition," the insider admitted. "She was alluding to not getting any movie or show roles, or Hollywood hasn't welcomed her back or something like that."

"This is a new chapter in her life, and I guess it's not going for her as planned," revealed the pal. "It's sad to hear that she's back in rehab.
In November, Bynes was on the cover of Paper magazine where she discussed her excitement getting back into Hollywood and being three years sober after struggling with depression and drug abuse.
But it seems the former child star took a step back.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Bynes has checked herself into a Los Angeles rehab facility specializing in addiction, a separate source confirmed.
In addition to her struggles with depression and drug addiction, Bynes has been treated for schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder.
