TMZ has learned.&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;br /&gt;Sources connected to Bynes tell us ... all 3 people are telling similar stories -- Bynes was a dream client for years ... but she became extremely difficult in the past 12 months, some say uncontrollable.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One source tells us the management team hasn't been able to get in touch with Bynes for the past month -- no phone calls, no visits, nada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to one source, all 3 members of the team made multiple efforts to help Amanda before she went radio silent -- but Bynes was not receptive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, the team decided to cut bait ... acknowledging they can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Amanda, sources close to the 26-year-old tell us ... Bynes feels she no longer needs their services because she&amp;#8217;s retired from acting and moving into another line of work -- fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We tried to reach out to a rep for Bynes -- but, well, she doesn't have one anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2012/04/06/amanda-bynes-pretty-pictures/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0918_amanda_bynes_own_footer\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/09/21/0918-amanda-bynes-own-footer-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
