Amanda Bynes just took a huge step on the path to personal freedom … because she officially filed to pull the plug on her conservatorship. And, it doesn't seem coincidental she's doing it on the heels of Britney Spears ending hers.
The former child star filed docs in L.A. Wednesday to end her 9-year conservatorship.
Amanda was placed under the conservatorship back in 2013 following a string of bizarre episodes … including when she soaked her dog in gasoline while setting a neighbor's driveway on fire, which shed light on some of her struggles with mental health. She was committed temporarily to a psychiatric facility and once released, was cared for by her parents.
