"Amanda attended a fundraiser for the Democratic challenger for Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat, Pat Harris," the source said. "Amanda is very civic-minded and wanted to show up to support Pat."

The source told the magazine the “Hairspray” star is “doing really well and basically just living her life” after going through a rough patch which including a DUI, being arrested for marijuana possession and starting a fire in her parents' driveway. She also displayed erratic behavior on her social media accounts.

Since the series of arrests and being placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in 2014, Bynes, 32, has kept a low profile.

The source said Bynes was mostly absent on social media because “people can just be so negative.”

“There are times when she is more active on social media and then will stop because sadly, people can just be so negative. She is on track to graduate from fashion school this summer,” the source said.
