Amanda Bynes is not holding back when it comes to addressing the wild rumors flying around about her. The former Nickelodeon star recently took to Instagram to express her frustration over people "posting lies" about her, particularly a bizarre claim about her and Dan Schneider, a producer she once worked with.
In a now-deleted clip shared by a fan account, it was alleged that Bynes had been impregnated by Schneider at the tender age of 13. Amanda was quick to slam these rumors as "lies for clickbait," emphasizing her attempts to contact TikTok to remove fake accounts impersonating her.
"I don't have TikTok. Someone is taking my content + posting lies as though they're me for clicks bait [sic]," Bynes stated, adding, "I tried contacting TikTok to take down the account, but they haven't done it yet!"
Further addressing the pregnancy rumors, Amanda Bynes made it crystal clear that she had no part in the creation of the viral video that sparked the speculation. She disclosed that the clip was a mix of her old social media videos, edited to create a misleading narrative.
The original video, which referenced a pregnancy claim involving Dan Schneider, circulated widely online. Bynes has firmly denied the allegations, stating that the video was not from her official TikTok account. The actress explained that the first part of the video was from a recent Instagram Story with her current beau.
Meanwhile, Dan Schneider, who is embroiled in controversy due to a documentary highlighting his inappropriate on-set behavior, has not commented on the viral video. However, he is reportedly suing the producers of the documentary for defamation, claiming they misrepresented his actions.
The documentary, "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," has been a hot topic, featuring archival footage of Amanda Bynes. Despite being approached, Bynes and her parents chose not to participate in the series.
Bynes reportedly felt that her experiences didn’t align with those portrayed in the documentary, and thus she declined to contribute. Her parents, valuing their privacy, also opted out of being involved. The series delves into the allegations against Schneider, including his interactions with child actors.
Shifting to a brighter note, Amanda Bynes recently shared a glimpse of her personal life with fans. In September, she took to Instagram to introduce her new man, Zachary, during a picturesque getaway.
The photos captured intimate moments of the pair enjoying a relaxing retreat, with one showing them lounging in what appeared to be a chic hotel room. Bynes' caption, "Special getaway with my boo," left no doubt about her happiness in this new chapter.
Despite the noise from rumors, Amanda Bynes seems focused on embracing her present and spending quality time with her new love, all while setting the record straight on past falsehoods.
