Bynes said that amid the rough patch she hung out ‘with a seedier crowd,’ ‘isolated a lot’ and ‘got really into’ doing drugs.
‘It became a really dark, sad world for me,’ Bynes said, adding that ‘the mixture of marijuana and whatever other drugs and sometimes drinking’ she was doing everyday ‘made [her] a completely different person.’
