Ex-Teen Star Shocks Fans with New Look After Cosmetic Procedure

Amanda Bynes has shocked fans with a noticeably changed appearance following recent cosmetic work. In August, the former Nickelodeon star shared a short clip on Instagram Stories showing her slightly swollen lips. She confirmed the procedure in the caption, saying, “Lip injections by @body.byem,.”

Bynes has undergone several cosmetic procedures since her conservatorship ended in 2022. Her new look has reignited public interest in both her personal life and her career. TMZ reports that she is currently dating a man named Zachary, who works in events and security. Sources say the couple recently started seeing each other and are enjoying their time together.

The star of All That and The Amanda Show took a break from acting in 2010, announcing an indefinite hiatus. In 2018, she considered returning, but nothing came of it.

In March 2023, Bynes was expected to appear at ’90s Con to reunite with her former All That castmates, her first public appearance after the conservatorship ended, but she did not attend due to illness. Later that year, she briefly co-hosted a podcast called Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast but left after one episode to focus on getting her manicurist license and maintaining a stable job.

In April, Bynes joined OnlyFans to connect with fans, emphasizing that she would not post “any sleazy content.”

Bynes’ life has been marked by struggles with mental health and legal issues. In 2012, she was charged with DUI in West Hollywood and accepted probation. In 2013, she faced charges for reckless endangerment and marijuana possession after an incident in her Manhattan apartment, but the case was dismissed in 2014.

That same year, she was hospitalized under a 72-hour mental-health evaluation hold in California, which led to her parents seeking conservatorship over her affairs. Bynes was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has publicly shared her struggles with substance use, including cocaine, MDMA, and prescription medications.

She officially ended her conservatorship in March 2022, with support from both her and her parents. However, Bynes has faced ongoing mental health challenges. In March 2023, she was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after a psychotic episode in Los Angeles. Later in June, she sought inpatient treatment after reporting thoughts of self-harm, leaving the facility at the end of the month with plans for outpatient care.
