Amanda Bynes is petitioning Twitter and Instagram to shut down imposter accounts that are trying to gauge her fans for money! She just sent some legal letters to the social media platforms. Click through for more details.
Amanda's lawyer, Tamar Arminak sent the letters on behalf of her client, according to reports. The documents demanded these fraudulent accounts, "@persianLA27" and "alb4386," be deactivated.
The imposter accounts, who claim that Amanda's family and friends won't help her pay the bills, have been asking the actress' fans for money for medications.
However, since "@persianLA27" is a parody account, it's not technically violating any of the social media platforms' rules, Tamar said.
