Amanda graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design in June and, though she had planned to pursue higher education, sources close to her fear that is no longer in the cards. According to The Blast, since her departure from the facility, her parents are worried she might start using again and are now seeking help from a judge to get her placed back in treatment.

The California native has been under a conservatorship that was previously set by the Ventura County Court. Other sources claim that Amanda is planning to ask the judge to remove her mother as the conservator and have a third party replace her.
