Amanda Bynes is currently hospitalized under a 5150 hold after lighting a fire in a random woman’s driveway last night…and her parents refuse to pay for the damage (rightfully so.) The victim, Bonnie Braaten, turned down an offer from a neighbor who volunteered to powerwash her driveway to clean the mess, but Bonnie thinks Amanda’s parents should pay. They’re not feeling that plan, however, Amanda’s father spoke to TMZ and assured them he has no intention of paying for any damage or cleanup. “Amanda needs to pay for it.” Yes, she absolutely should. Let’s hope she gets the help she needs while in the hospital and can clean up her mess when she’s out!
