Reiser said a mental health court has control over Bynes’ medical treatment, but if she is released from a psychiatric facility then her mother will have authority to decide treatment.
The star of the Toronto-made Hairspray and her own variety series has been in a psychiatric hospital since last month. Authorities placed her in the hospital after she started a small fire in the driveway of a house in her hometown of Thousand Oaks, Calif.
