Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has apologized after she was caught on a recording admitting she would like to slit her father’s wrists and saying she threatened to murder her mother and burn her family’s house down.
TMZ first posted the audio early Saturday morning that is allegedly of Bynes saying a slew of disturbing things about her family to one of her West Hollywood roommates. Below is an excerpt.
“If your father was my father…then you would understand why you’d want to slit his wrists. I haven’t decided how I want to murder him…I don’t believe in murder. He literally is the worst person. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than slitting his throat. That is what I would love to do.”
So I’m not gonna like ever do such a thing, but I call my mom and I threaten to kill her, and I threaten to slit her wrist, and I threaten to burn down her house and I said a bunch of shit like that. They’re in control of my money, and that’s why I don’t have much money right now.”
Bynes then tweeted out that she was “obviously joking” about murdering her two parents, who recently had her placed in a Pasadena treatment facility after her bizarre behavior.
