Based on a recent report published by Us Weekly, Jennie Garth tried on repeated occasions to reach out to her former co-star Amanda Bynes, but the latter has ignored all her calls. The two actresses grew very close during the filming of the WB series “What I Like About You”, so Jennie wants to help Amanda overcome her problems.

Amanda Bynes is obviously going through a rough period of time and her friends were the first to realize this. After playing her elder sister in the WB series “What I Like about You”, Jennie Garth started being protective with the 26-year-old actress in real life, as well. The 40-year-old star told the press that she tried to reach out to Bynes on many occasions, but the former co-star ignored her.

Jennie Garth, who has recently been through dire straits, herself, after divorcing her husband, feels very connected with the troubled star. She confessed that she cares for Amanda a lot and that is why she would like to help her. Despite this, the younger co-star seems determined to shut everyone out of her life as Garth is not the only person she has turned down.

Soon after her parents moved to Los Angeles to be closer to their troubled daughter, Amanda flew to New York City where she is currently residing alone. Although the actress hasn’t been photographed in the past week, there are many pictures of her wandering alone on the streets of the Big Apple. Among the many public scenes she has caused, the actress recently locked herself in a bathroom at Little Cupcake Bakeshop in SoHo for 30 minutes. Bynes eventually came out of the room when the patron threatened to break down the door and explained that she had been fixing her make up.

Amanda has also been involved in several legal problems. Her attorney has entered a plea of not guilty for the two occasions when the actress was retained for driving without a license. She also pleaded not guilty for the DUI charges and the two hit-and-run counts she has been accused of.
