Amanda Bynes has been spiraling out control for some time now. In the past few days alone, she's used Twitter -- her medium of choice to communicate any and all thoughts to the world -- to post suggestive photos of herself. In the first series, she wore a lacy bra and mentioned her weight loss concerns. Yesterday, she took it all off and posted topless photos, in which her breasts are covered by her hands and long hair.
This got some people very concerned.
Jonathan Jaxson, who according to Cambio is Bynes' ex-publicist despite no such mention on his company's website, tweeted at 11:14 PM:
I just spoke to @amandabynes and she is soooo messed up on drugs and please @ny_police find her and help her! I don't know her address! @tmz

Jenny McCarthy, who happened to see Jaxson's tweet, then tweeted to her over 800,000 followers:
Police are at @amandabynes house. I hope they get her help. Enough of this circus. She needs help.
— Jenny McCarthy (@JennyMcCarthy) May 2, 2013
Jaxson proceeded to write several more concerned posts he has since taken down, among them "I hope she gets the help she desperately needs" and "Thanks to the NYPD and all who helped me." Despite the apparent good deed, the public way in which Jaxson, a publicist, chose to get Bynes help didn't go unnoticed.
Following the backlash, Jaxson tweeted late at night:
If trying to help someone you feel is in trouble is a crime, then there is a problem. A cry for help is just that! I did what I KNEW to do!

I personally decided to delete certain tweets because the last thing I want anyone to think is tonight was about me. It was about another!

This morning, he explained:
Hoping today is a better day. I NEVER did what I did last night for attention. I did it in hopes of saving a life. I didn't have her addy at

Neither Amanda Bynes nor Jenny McCarthy's reps responded to HuffPost's request for comment, but the troubled 27-year-old did tweet her response to the rumors Thursday morning:
@jennymccarthy you're ugly! Police weren't at my house old lady! Shut the fuck up!
— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) May 2, 2013

UPDATE: Jenny McCarthy apologized to Amanda Bynes and Bynes took back all the mean things she said.
