Many fans couldn’t help but show the Nickelodeon alum some love in the comments section. One person wrote, “You’re glowing with success, proud of you,” while another echoed, “You’re so smart.” A third chimed in, writing, “So rad!!!!! You are awesome!”
It seems like the California native is doing better after she checked into rehab in March, a source told Radar Online at the time. One month afterward, her lawyer, Tamar Arminak, said it was completely her idea. “It was her decision and her choice to address the situation [and] seek treatment, which I think is an incredibly mature way of handling this type of thing,” she told Access.
During the interview with Paper, the She’s the Man star got candid about her past drug usage. “I started smoking marijuana when I was 16. Even though everyone thought I was the ‘good girl,’ I did smoke marijuana from that point on,” she revealed. “I didn’t get addicted [then], and I wasn’t abusing it. And I wasn’t going out and partying or making a fool of myself … yet.”
She continued, “Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy. [I tried] cocaine three times, but I never got high from cocaine. I never liked it. It was never my drug of choice.” However, Amanda admitted she started taking Adderall on a daily basis. “I definitely abused Adderall,” she said.
Well, we’re happy to see that Amanda is doing better than ever these days! Keep it up, girl.
