Amanda Bynes was due in court today in Los Angeles for a hearing regarding 2 hit-and-run incidents, but chose instead to stay at a safe distance, shopping in New York. Apparently, the actress spent a couple of hours shopping and dining alone at the Cafe Habana. Fueling rumors of odd behavior were several witnesses who claimed the actress spent over 25 minutes in a bathroom, by herself, which she has done before on her outings at clothing stores. Her attorney, Richard Hutton, entered a not-guilty plea on Bynes’ behalf and the case is due back in court on October 19, 2012.
Amanda Bynes is being accused by prosecutors of fleeing the scene after two separate hit-and-run accidents without exchanging insurance information. Bynes has also been accused of drunk driving when she grazed a sheriffs patrol vehicle. Another troubled star, Lindsay Lohan, took to her Twitter account and publicly vented her frustration at the fact that she was treated more harshly during legal troubles. Now, Lohan’s mom, Dina is giving free advice to Amanda Bynes’ parents saying, “Just be around“. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Dina Lohan said, “You know, I’m a mother, and I feel that that’s for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that’s for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself“.
