Tommy Bynes Once Tried His Hand at the Stage

Amanda's brother, Tommy, was born to Rick and Lynn Bynes on December 5, 1973. Tommy is the eldest in the family. His dad has Irish, Lithuanian, and Polish roots, and his mother comes from an Ashkenazi Jewish family. Tommy's father is a retired dentist, and his mother worked as an office manager.

Growing up, Tommy had to learn two religions. His father practiced Catholicism, while his mother practiced Judaism. His parents wanted him to understand both beliefs so that when he came of age, he would choose one to adhere to. After learning about both religions, he ended up becoming a spiritual person.

In 2013, she revealed on social media that she was struggling with mental health problems and had been diagnosed with manic depressive disorder and bipolar.

According to reports, Amanda's friends were not happy that her family was not helping her with her mental health, and as a result, the actress gradually cut off contact with them, including Tommy. This was after Amanda allegedly accused her dad of physical, sexual, and mental abuse.

According to Amanda's siblings, Tommy and Jilian, their sister came up with the accusations to avoid getting admitted into a mental health facility by her parents. Amanda was a child star; besides having her own show, she also co-starred with Channing Tatum and Alexandra Breckenridge in the 2006 comedy film "She's the Man."
