Bynes is one combative chicky!
Not only is the
drama-plagued former child star in trouble with the law on both coasts —
earlier today a trial date was set for July 18 in her Beverly Hills DUI case —
but the 27-year-old is also at the center of several high-profile feuds right
now all stemming from social media. Following her drug-related arrest in
Manhattan last Thursday (she adamantly denies all the charges), she’s been
largely holed up in her Manhattan apartment … and she’s been and letting her
fingers do the talking when it comes to her critics.
Here’s a quick and
easy guide to her biggest Twitter feuds right now:
Lance Bass: During an interview on a
radio show Wednesday, the former ‘N Sync singer — who produced the 2005 film
“Love Wrecked” which starred Bynes — was asked about his old friend
and he expressed concern. “It’s one of those situations where obviously
there’s some mental problems there and she’s not able to see that. We all are
[able to see it],” he answered. Apparently Bynes wasn’t a fan of his
response because she took to Twitter on Thursday to lash out at him.
“I ignored
Lance Bass on twitter and now he is saying I have a mental illness. Sorry
you’re an ugly ex boy band member w/ no talent or career,” she wrote.
“I haven’t spoken to Lance Bass in 11 years. To say I have a mental
illness out of nowhere makes me lash out! You’re making me crazy!”
Soon after Bass took
to his Twitter, replying: “Ouch- The Amanda I know would never had said
something like this to me- either this is a fake person or she really does have
a mental illness. Way too sad. I reached out- all i can do.” He also questioned
her timeline. “Now I really don’t think this is Amanda- we shot
LoveWrecked together 7 years ago and she was just at my bday party 3 years ago.
Hmmm 11? “
Chrissy
Teigen: On
Tuesday night, the one-time Nickelodeon talent had some ugly words for model
and tweetaholic Chrissy Teigen, who had remarked that she found it
“unsettling” that Bynes had so many people supporting her erratic
conduct. “Support people with mental illness, yes. But don’t
condone/enable scary and poor behavior,” wrote John Legend’s fiancée.
Bynes didn’t hold
back in her reply to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pin-up, writing, “Ur not
a pretty model compared to me. I signed to Ford models @ age 13. I don’t look
up to u beauty wise. I’m far prettier than u! I’m offended that you’re saying I
have a mental illness when I show no sign of it, but thankfully not one man
that wants me wants you and you are an old ugly model compared to me! You look
45! You’re not pretty so I’m not intimidated by you! I think you’re jealous
that you’re just an ugly model whos career is uninspiring! I don’t respect you!
You’re no beauty queen! I’m a beauty queen.”
Teigen didn’t engage
Bynes further, replying to her followers, “Nope. Not going to indulge.
Wish the best for her, truly.”
Courtney
Love: Let’s
just say the “She’s the Man” star wasn’t into getting advice from the
former Hole frontwoman, whose own personal drama through the years has (thus
far) surpassed anything that Bynes may have done. So when Love tweeted to Bynes
that she should “pull it together dude,” the retired actress shot
back, “Courtney Love is the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen. To be mentioned
by her at all makes me and all my friends laugh!”
Rihanna: Perhaps it was because of Drake
— who Bynes crushes on and who crushed on Rihanna — but seemingly out of
nowhere, Bynes launched an attack on the Barbadian beauty over the weekend when
she wrote the especially nasty comment: “Chris Brown beat you because
you’re not pretty enough.”
Rihanna was the
clear winner in her response, which didn’t even mention Bynes’s name: “Ya
see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” However, it didn’t stop
Bynes from replying: “unlike ur fugly faced self I don’t do drugs! U need
the intervention dog! I met ur ugly face in person! U aren’t pretty u know
it!”
Bynes later claimed
that the tweets to Rihanna were “fake,” though she offered no real
explanation as to how that happened and why only those specific tweets had been
hack jobs.
The NYPD: While lawyers sort out
whether there is enough to convict aspiring rapper Bynes of reckless
endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and physical possession of
marijuana stemming from her May 23 arrest, she hurls some charges of her own
against one of the arresting officers, alleging he “slapped” her
vagina while she was in custody. She went on to say she would be suing him for
“money compensation,” adding, “I love having more money in my
bank.”

After an
investigation into her allegations, Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne issued a
statement, saying, “NYPD Internal Affairs investigators have found no
evidence to corroborate Ms. Bynes’ allegations.”
Despite the
findings, Bynes announced her plans to sue the NYPD, in addition to the specific
officer, for “illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and
lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia, then I’m suing
for being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up overnight
for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good
girl that I am.”
Her
Apartment Building Management Company: In addition to suing the NYPD — and the many
publications that have written stories about her — the plastic surgery devotee
also plans to hit her Times Square apartment building management company with a
lawsuit “for lying about me smoking in my building.”
If you remember, it
was the report of a building employee that Bynes had been smoking marijuana in
the lobby which set into motion her whole bizarre, wig-wearing arrest.
Jenny
McCarthy: And
let’s not forget the war of words between Bynes and McCarthy before the whole
arrest even happened. On May 1, the host of “The Jenny McCarthy Show”
retweeted a report that police responded to an emergency at Bynes’s apartment.
Faster than you can hit the “tweet” button, Amanda responded,
“you’re ugly! Police weren’t at my house old lady! Shut the f–k up!”
McCarthy later apologized and Bynes did as well. The erratic star then gushed,
“I’m sorry I offended you! You’re beautiful! I was lying! I’ll delete our
tweets!”
McCarthy didn’t
weigh in on Bynes’ most recently arrest, which was probably a wise decision.
However, we must
note that Bynes has also had a few pleasant exchanges on Twitter recently,
including ones with fellow Nickelodeon alumnus Drake Bell as well as rappers
Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame … who she probably hopes will help her with
that rap career.
