Former Nickelodeon Star Amanda Bynes Announces Engagement
Amanda Bynes finally is settling down. The former Nickelodeon star shared another selfie on Instagram with her new fiancé, Paul Michael.
The post didn’t come with any caption.
It was a photo of a smiling man. On Valentines Day, she posted a picture revealing her fiancé with a note saying, “Engaged to the love of my life”.
She also uploaded a massive diamond ring on her hand on top of her Michael’s house.
This 33-year-old star is currently staying in a sober living house, almost seven months after she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
Bynes have not been so open of her life to social media, so a post from her is not very common. It was only in September of 2019 that she was able to start on Instagram.
Bynes have been out of the spotlight for a long time. She came back in November 2018 when she did her cover story for Paper Magazine and talked about her addictions, struggles and mental issues.
After that interview, she checked herself back again to a rehab facility.
According to the family’s attorney, “Amanda is doing great, working on herself, and taking some well-deserved time off to focus on her wellbeing after graduating FIDM. She’s spending time reading and exercising, sketching for her new line and mostly making sure this time around she puts her needs first”.
Amanda Bynes hosted and performed a lot of shows including her series “The Amanda Show”. She gained a lot of awards and was part of some popular comedy movies in 2000.
In 2010, she shared on her Twitter that she was retiring from acting, “Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem. If I don’t love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don’t love acting anymore, so I’ve stopped doing it. I know 24 is a young age to retire, but you heard it here first”.
From there, her world started going down.
She had been addicted to some substances which led her to behave erratically and had some troubles with the authorities.
In 2012, she made some headlines over her arrests. She was arrested for driving under the influence in West Hollywood and at the same month, a hit-and-run incident.
She was also pulled over for driving with a suspended license, and her driving privileges were revoked.
In 2013, she was again charged with reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence.
She was often seen with different kind of wigs with different colours.
She posted about her arrests in Twitter and even posted vulgar messages to other celebrities which were then deleted.
According to her during the 2018 interview, she began hanging out with different kind of crowds in 2010, “I isolated a lot. I got really into my drug usage, and it became a dark, sad world for me.”
She added, “Those days of experimenting [with substances] are long over. I’m not sad about it, and I don’t miss it because I feel ashamed of how those substances made me act.”
