Amanda Bynes has been the subject of much scrutiny under the public eye. While many looking at the young starlet would say it’s self-inflicted, Nick Cannon has a different view on her.
Cannon penned a sympathetic letter to Bynes and pleaded that the media be more understanding of her. Check it out below.
[Source]“I am always the first to say that fame and entertainment [are] one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have, but one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole,” he warns. “When a person is told all of their life that they are awesome, the best, the greatest and they are catered to every moment of the day. Imagine being the breadwinner in your household before you can even drive. Imagine [your] parents, teachers, and employers NEVER telling you NO. Anything you ask for or want, the world gives you, at some point you are bound to self-destruct. I call this ‘access to excess.'”
“What do you do when you have no solid support system? When you feel like your friends are talking behind your back. When you feel like your co-workers are jealous and out to competitively sabotage you. When you feel your family has turned [their] back on you. When you feel like you parents have a conditional appreciation for you and only really love your money.”
“You become paranoid, frantic, manic, irrational, because you [can’t] bounce your thoughts or ideas off of anyone anymore. Your reality no longer allows you to reason with the world, so you try to break through to get back to what you think is common ground. You are either trying to get back ‘hot’ again or just searching for that adulation that you once received daily from the masses.”
“No one on this planet needs to be judged or even has the right to judge. We are all equal and we all have our downfalls, fame or no fame. Money or no money. Life is hard for everyone in some [sense]. And we need each other [too] in times of despair. No one can make it through anything alone,” he declares, before adding, “So I say to my sisterAmanda Bynes, you’re not alone. I’m here for you. I understand. I care and I appreciate you, because that’s what family does and that’s what family is for.”
