In a troubling audio clip, former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes can be heard threatening to kill her own parents. The tape is made public by TMZ.

TMZ is claiming that the tape was given to them by the troubled star's parents, Rick and Lynn Bynes, who wanted it uploaded and revealed to the public. They allegedly wanted the tape to go viral to serve as a wakeup call for medical professionals who could intervene and help the former teen star.

In the audio clip, the former star can be heard rambling violent thoughts about her father and mother. Throughout the tape, the actress made her intention of killing her parents quite clear. In one portion, the star rambled that nothing could give her greater pleasure than slitting her father's throat.

The audio was recorded by the star's West Hollywood roommates while driving around the city about a week ago. In the audio, the star goes on a rant telling how badly she likes to kill her parents. She could be heard blaming them for controlling her money while she is left with almost nothing. Her whole rant could be heard in the video link given below.

Meanwhile, the former star's parents have conservatorship of the actress since her release from the mental rehabilitation centre. The Hype told recently that the Bynes are quite keen to step down from the conservatorship in order for them to rebuild their relationship with their troubled daughter.

The actress is often spotted wandering around the town. After her release from the treatment facility, she is back on Twitter posting erratic tweets frequently, dyed her hair purple and was photographed sleeping on a couch in a mall then blaming her parents for not giving her enough money to at least afford a hotel room, as told by US Weekly.

Since then, the actress reportedly has been able to find a permanent place to stay and is offered a home by pop star Britney Spears as long as she follows her medical routine and stays away from drugs.
