Joy Stevens Amanda Bynes’ Life Coach

Joy Stevens

Joy Stevens is the woman who has become the shadow of troubled starlet, Amanda Bynes.



New reports have identified Joy Stevens as the life coach, who doesn’t leave her side. According to RadarOnline, they have an inseparable relationship.

We all remember how three years ago the former child star suffered a very public meltdown. In 2012 Bynes announced that she was retiring from acting. Then came the worrying public displays, including creating a fire in a stranger’s driveway, and how can we forget her alarming twitter rants.

On one occasion, she accused her father of abusing her, which she later denied, instead blaming a “microchip in my brain” for the shocking statements.

She was finally admitted to a treatment center in late 2014.

Now the 30-year-old seems to be going in the right track –she’s even continuing her fashion studies, which she began back in 2014. That’s most likely in big part, to the intervention of Joy Stevens.

A fellow student from the Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing [FIDM] in Los Angeles, allegedly gushed about the pair being inseparable on campus. According to the student, is an inside secret on campus that Joy is her life coach.
