Amanda Bynes announced she has officially joined OnlyFans — but there is one very specific caveat.
“I’m on onlyfans now!” Bynes, 39, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, April 15, alongside a link to the account and screenshot of her profile, which revealed her username as @amandapandapandapanda1.
The former Nickelodeon star then clarified her reason for signing up on the platform, noting that subscribers should not expect any risque content. “Disclaimer: I’m doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through dm’s. I won’t be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.”
Bynes became a household name in the early 2000s after appearing on kids shows like All That and The Amanda Show. She later skyrocketed to success with films like She’s the Man, Hairspray and Easy A before suffering a series of highly publicized mental health struggles. She was placed under a conservatorship in August 2013, one month after being hospitalized and put on a psychiatric hold for setting fire in a stranger’s driveway. Her mother, Lynn Bynes, was named as her conservator one year later.
She was freed from the conservatorship in March 2022, and has since occasionally taken to social media to share updates on her life. In November 2024, Bynes revealed via Instagram that she had embarked on a weight loss journey after mental health issues had affected her body. She also revealed that she had undergone blepharoplasty surgery in December 2023.
“It was one of the best things I could’ve ever done for my self-confidence, and it made me feel a lot better in my skin,” she told her TikTok followers at the time. “I just wanted to post about that just to clear up that rumor as to why I have a new look. I feel a lot better now about myself and I’m so glad I had the blepharoplasty surgery. It was one of the greatest things I could’ve ever done.”
Bynes has also been working on her professional goals, sharing via Instagram in January that she had plans to develop a footwear line. “Designing shoes — will start production soon!” she revealed in a post alongside sketches of a sneaker featuring “LOVE U BRO” written on the outside of the shoe. “Sneakers made with PVC material overstayed over nylon + foam.”
The What I Like About You star first opened up about her love for design in October 2020. Four years later, Bynes partnered up with designer Austin Babbitt and his eponymous line, designing a series of T-shirts and shorts featuring sketches of a woman alongside a jack-o’-lantern, artistic faces and more.
