6. Amanda Bynes
Like Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes started her career off as an adorable child actor. The difference was that Bynes started off on Nickelodeon while Lohan was a Disney star. Also like Lohan, Bynes was poised to be a force to be reckoned with on the comedy movie circuit, with movies such as She’s the Man, What a Girl Wants, Sydney White and Easy A under her belt. Then came the strange behavior on Twitter, with Bynes announcing a retirement from acting, then posting cryptic Tweets and half naked selfies. Then all heck broke loose, and Bynes’ parents finally had to step in. To be fair, Bynes did suffer from mental illness, but one has to wonder if the pressure from being an up and coming starlet added to her troubles.
