The latest: Amanda Bynes, 33, posed with former fiancé Paul Michael in a selfie Monday, after the pair recently called off their engagement. The shot came after after Bynes refused to enter a psychiatric facility after she was ordered to do so by a judge last week
The news came after the Thousand Oaks, California native last week refused to enter a psychiatric facility after she was ordered to do so by a judge, according to The Blast Monday.
A judge determined Bynes should seek treatment at the facility after meeting with all those involved in her conservatorship case during a secret court hearing last Thursday, including Paul Michael.
The actress was supposed to check into the facility over the weekend, but neglected to show up.
The hearing is reportedly what triggered the end of Bynes’ engagement with Michael, who ‘freaked out’ after becoming privy to more details surrounding the situation.

Met with the judge: Bynes’ then-fiance Paul Michael and her parents were among those the judge met with
Michael’s concerns he would do something that would get him into trouble with the judge or others involved in the case is what prompted the split, sources told the outlet.
Michael – who initially met Bynes at an AA meeting in Los Angeles, according to the outlet – has now reportedly been telling friends he doesn’t want to be blamed for her mental condition, and is ‘freaking out’ after learning how bad her situation is, and how it could threaten his sobriety.
The star reportedly needs to be hospitalized in the facility as soon as possible, and seems to be spiraling out of control, sources told The Blast, as her family is urging her to keep her word to the judge.
Should Bynes continue to refuse to seek treatment, other measures will be taken to ensure her safety, according to the site.
Michael confirmed the end of their three week engagement with InTouch, telling the site: ‘We did… I love her though, she’s my best friend.’

Bynes is, allegedly, not coping well with the sudden break up.
‘Amanda is really upset about it and not taking it well at all,’ a source told Us Weekly, adding that Bynes’ rigid conservatorship had ‘driven the couple apart.
‘Paul realized the relationship just couldn’t go forward because of the obstacles of the conservatorship and Amanda must live at a sober living facility.’
Rumors emerged that the couple had split last week after the She’s The Man star deleted every photo of Paul off her Instagram page.
