During an interview, Amanda’s lawyer Tamar Arminak explained that her acting plans were on hold and she was focusing on her time at FIDM. “She absolutely is still studying and she’s so amazed with FIDM because, as a school, they’ve been so supportive of her this entire time,” Tamar said at the time. “She can’t wait to get back to the FIDM campus and be creative again.”
