“We are all so proud of her,” her parents’ lawyer Tamar Arminak told E! News. “[We] can’t wait to see her amazing designs on the runway someday.”

But after just one term, the 29-year-old – who reportedly suffers with schizophrenia - quit the course and headed to New York, estranging herself from her family and posting bizarre Twitter posts.

Amanda was then temporarily placed under psychiatric hold at a treatment facility mid last year, and was released from psychiatric hospital in November.

In February, a source told E! News, Amanda was “doing really great” and is “focusing on reading, yoga and reconnecting with her family” and it’s been revealed that the star has gone back to school to “pursue merchandise product development.”
