Raymond Hall/GC Images Amanda Bynes has been displaying some odd behavior during her week in New York. Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has recanted allegations that her dad sexually abused her – claiming in yet another disturbing tweet that a microchip in her brain made her lie.
“My dad never did any of those thing The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he’s the one that ordered them to microchip me,” Bynes wrote in a Twitter posting to her millions of followers Friday.
The about-face came after Bynes, 28, made several unsubstantiated claims on the social media site that her dad Rick Bynes once hit on her and fondled himself in her presence.
"I am heartbroken today for my husband of 47 years," mom Lynn Bynes said in a statement obtained by the Daily News. "Rick has been the best father and husband a family can ask for. He has never abused Amanda or our other children physically or sexually,” she said.
@amandabynes via Twitter Hours after her Twitter rant, Amanday Bynes denied previous claims made against her father. “These accusations are absolutely horrible and could not be further from the truth! These allegations stem from Amanda's mental state at the moment. They have no basis in reality. It saddens me beyond belief that my husband's character could be slandered in such a way,” she said.
The Twitter tirade from the “Easy A” actress came as her concerned parents were planning an emergency trip to New York to get her some psychiatric help, a source told The News.
Bynes reportedly tried to flee New York after somehow learning about the east coast intervention.
According to TMZ, Bynes went to La Guardia Friday and was ordered out of the airport after shouting at a ticketing agent.
She then jumped in a car to make her way to Kennedy airport, TMZ reported.
“I need to tell the truth,” Bynes tweeted Friday morning before launching into the litany of allegations that she later recanted.
She said her dad called her “ugly” as a child and that it was a “nighmare” living with him.
The actress – who was diagnosed as schizophrenic last year according to a well-placed source – then said she planned to take legal action.
“So today I am meeting with a lawyer to get a restraining order against my dad,” she tweeted.
“I will not be manipulated or brainwashed by anyone anymore,” she wrote. “Let me live my own life free of unhappiness and misery.”
The “Easy A” actress has been making headlines in Manhattan recently for bizarre public behavior including an alleged shoplifting incident at Barneys and a strange, caught-on-tape dancing session inside another uptown clothing store.
Accused last year of tossing a bong out of a Manhattan high-rise and starting a fire in a stranger’s driveway before getting locked in a psychiatric hospital, Bynes was released from her parent-supervised conservatorship at the end of the summer.
Alarming reports started up again after she was popped for DUI in Los Angeles last month after cops allege she blew through a red light in the San Fernando Valley and stopped her Mercedes in the middle of an intersection.
Cops said Bynes tested negative for alcohol but was visibly impaired during sobriety tests.
Police won’t know what was in her system until they get her toxicology test results back in the next few weeks, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol said.
Splash News/Splash News Amanda Bynes walks her dogs with her parents in California Dec. 13 after being released from rehab. Bynes’ parents rushed to court late last year after the actress lit a makeshift gasoline fire in a random driveway around the corner from their house in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
In July, a New York judge dismissed all charges against Bynes related to the 2013 bong-tossing bust.
She agreed to see a counselor twice a week for six months as part of the conditional dismissal deal struck in January.
Back in February, Bynes also scored a no-jail plea deal in her prior southern California DUI case, pleading no contest to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, her lawyer told The News.
Bynes received three years of probation and was ordered to attend three months of alcohol education classes, he said.
The former child star was released from in-patient psychiatric treatment last November after being formally diagnosed with schizophrenia, a source previously confirmed to The News.
