Sources claim she was beginning to act paranoid and fearful. the Farrellys wanted her to stay but only if she could get her act together. She didn’t and they let her go.

Meanwhile, rumors began to surface that Bynes could be “difficult.” In 2007, she was invited to the Film Festival, where she was being honored with a rising star award. And things reportedly didn’t go well.

She was off jet-skiing, treating it like a vacation.”
