Amanda Bynes might have a child on the way but according to TMZ, the child won’t stay in her custody after she gives birth. Bynes announced that she’s currently pregnant with her boyfriend Paul Michael’s child but she’s also in the midst of receiving treatment at a psychiatric facility. Although things with her treatment are going well, she’s still under a conservatorship that her parents run. As they’ve maintained control of her legal and medical decisions in the past few years, her father’s currently requesting to have co-custody of the child alongside Michael.

Apparently, she’s unaware that she’s losing custody (until she reads the numerous reports, of course). Sources close to her, though, deny that her pregnancy was in any shape or form some sort of way to get out of conservatorship run by her parents. She will remain under the conservatorship even after she gives birth.

Bynes has been longing for a child for a while now. She’s currently six weeks pregnant but her cigarette habit has raised concerns surrounding the child’s health. It’s unclear if she has any intentions of quitting anytime soon but for the sake of her unborn child, we hope she does.

Stay tuned for more updates surrounding Amanda Bynes’ situation or don’t. It is really up to you at the end of the day. 

After taking a much-needed break from the limelight, Amanda Bynes recently returned to social media like a whirlwind. Over the years, the former child star has exhibited worrisome behavior that made many think she had an addiction or psychological issues. A recent report by The Blast stated that the actress was ordered to check into a psychiatric facility to help with her struggles. This news came after Amanda shared that she was engaged to Paul Michael, a man that she allegedly met at her Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and has only been dating for a few months.

Amanda Bynes then went on to get new face tattoos before news circulated that her three-week engagement had been called off. On Tuesday (March 17), Amanda posted a photo of a sonogram on Instagram and told the world that she's pregnant. "Baby on board!" she penned under the picture.

However, the post was only up for a short time before it was abruptly taken down. Amanda's attorney, David A. Esquibias, reportedly told E! News, "When I saw the Instagram posts I immediately launched an investigation in to their origin. Since then I have been successful in causing these posts to be removed. I ask the media and the public to afford Amanda privacy during these difficult times." Check out a screenshot of Amanda's pregnancy announcement below.

After years of struggling with her mental health, it appears though Amanda Bynes will receive the help she needs. As reported by The Blast, after a court hearing with her family and fiance appearing in front of a judge, Bynes was given the opportunity to admit herself into a psychiatric facility. The alternative option would be that she would be taken there directly after her trial. At the time of the hearing, Bynes agreed to the conditions, but once the weekend came around and she wasn’t complying, her family had to get involved.  

After not reporting to the live-in facility, Bynes also ended things with her recent fiance, a student whom she met through AA. The engagement was called off as a way for both parties to focus on getting themselves better, without the added responsibilities of treating each other. According to her former fiance, he was caught off-guard about the severity of her situation, assuming that she hadn’t been truthful with him about her condition. Bynes was very open about her relationship and love for Paul, her ex-fiance, and is likely heart-broken that he left at such a vulnerable time.

Bynes’ family has been in contact with her since the trial and is trying to get her the help she deserves. We all want the best for the parties involved and would want nothing less than her getting the help she promised the judge she would get. 

It looks like Amanda Bynes won’t be walking down the aisle anytime soon, as her fiancé confirmed that they had in fact called off their engagement after just 3 weeks. Amanda and her former man, Paul Michael, first announced their engagement Instagram on Valentine’s Day, when Amanda posted a photo of her massive sparkly rock. “Engaged to tha love of my life,” she wrote on the now-deleted post. According to TMZ, however, her “diamond” engagement ring was not made of real diamonds after all, and was actually purchased for a $49 on Amazon.

That’s not the only photo depicting Amanda and Paul’s relationship that she’s nixed off her account, though. It looks Amanda’s wiped her Instagram of any sign of Paul’s existence, despite him insisting to In Touch that the two of them are still tight. “I love her though,” he said, after confirming the split. “She’s my best friend.” Another one of the posts she’s now deleted was a video of her introducing Paul to the world as “best person on the face of the Earth.”

The couple’s engagement came as quite a shock, considering they had only been dating for a few months after meeting in Alcoholic’s Anonymous. However, TMZ reports that the marriage was never going to happen in the first place, since Amanda’s mother is her conservator and she did not approve of her relationship with Paul from the start. Since Amanda can’t do anything as drastic as getting married without her conservator’s consent, it was highly unlikely that she could’ve gotten away with tying the knot with Paul anyway.

Somehow, it has been a whole seven years since Amanda Bynes sent out that iconic tweet: "I want @Drake to murder my vagina." She may not have intentionally wished to celebrate this anniversary, but a recent post of hers on Instagram is calling back the memory. 

Bynes shared a screenshot of one of Drake's IG posts and, in her caption, highlighted how two of his songs are currently among her favorites. She listed his collaboration with Rick Ross, "Money In The Grave", and his collaboration with Lil Baby, "Yes Indeed". The She's The Man actress also showed love to two Roddy Ricch tracks, "Ballin" and "High Fashion". 

Amanda Bynes has spoken out on the relationship between paparazzi and self worth, stressing how dangerous it is for the media to release altered photos of her where she appears to look heavier. Amanda has been fairly active on social media ever since she announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Paul Michael, a few weeks ago. The former actress, who has had a pretty tumultuous time in the spotlight over the years dealing with substance abuse, mental health issues, and run-ins with the law, took to Instagram on Thursday to talk about the “terrifying experience” of looking herself up online only to find that all of the shots of her have allegedly been photoshopped to make her face look different.

“Hey y’all. I wanted to post a video today to talk about paparazzi and self worth,” Amanda told her followers. “Whenever I see a paparazzi photo, the majority of the time, I look nothing like myself. I’m talking, 16 chins, face looks completely different, and it’s an all-around terrifying experience to look myself up online, quite honestly. Like I’m about to cry just thinking about it.”

However, she had a wider objective than just calling out the paparazzi. “I wanted to post this video so people know that I’m just like you,” she notes. “I want to look my best. Of course, I can take an unflattering shot, but the amount of unflattering shots that I see online—I know that my shots are being photoshopped. I just, I don’t look like that in the photos that I take or when I look at myself in the mirror. So, that’s all I wanted to say. I hope you guys are having a sick day. I love you, and I’ll talk to you guys soon.” Whether or not the paparazzi or publications are indeed photoshopping images of her, she clearly sees a discrepancy between her own self-perception and the public’s perception of her. Along with her shocking engagement, Amanda has been making headlines in recent months for her questionable face tattoos, which may have been a result of her skewered self-image.

The curious case of Amanda Bynes, former child star, keeps getting weirder and weirder as it has just been revealed that she went and got even more ink added to her face. The actress is currently enrolled in college and is also working on a fashion line, so she’s clearly still doing pretty well for herself. While she has taken a step back from the spotlight, she continues to create headlines because of her bizarre behavior, which has included substance abuse issues, that one tweet about Drake, and more. Before she announced her engagement to her fiancé (who has still never met her parents, apparently), Bynes re-emerged on social media with a noticeable change in her appearance, sporting a large heart face tattoo on her left cheek.

While it was unclear whether or not her face tat was the real deal, it’s remained on her visage for the last couple of months so that’s proof enough of its permanence. Taking to Instagram today, the 33-year-old seemingly showed off another new marking on her face.

“Sup, Instagram. Just wanted to say hi to all of my followers. I really wanted to say I appreciate you guys so much for supporting me,” said Bynes, debuting another face tattoo of a filled-in heart above her left eyebrow. “Wanted to check in, let you know that I’m out to dinner right now with my friend, Kathy, who’s a student advisor at FIDM, my college. I’m really looking forward to starting my clothing line, and I’m hoping that in the near future it will be out online.”

First and foremost, congratulations to Amanda for her work in school and on her upcoming design collection. Are y’all feeling her new tattoo though?

Amanda Bynes let all her Instagram followers know she’s officially engaged to “tha love of my life” with a photo of her diamond engagement ring. The 33-year-old actress posted a snap of her massive rock, which she captioned, “Engaged to tha love of my life.”

Next to Amanda’s hand bearing the sparkly jewels, her fiancé’s own gold band can be seen in the photo. Amanda followed this post up with a face reveal of her future hubby, whose identity remains a mystery, though according to a source from The Blast, he’s in his 20s. The same source claims that he and Amanda met in AA and have only known each other for a few months.

Amanda’s shocking face tattoo of a crooked heart outline can be seen on her cheek in the photo, which she captioned, “Lover.” We reported on Amanda’s new facial ink back in December, though fingers were crossed that it was just drawn on with pen. It looks like it’s a permanent piece, though, so it’ll be interesting to see her walk down the aisle with the less-than-flattering tat on her wedding day.

The former child star virtually disappeared from the spotlight after publicly struggling with mental health, drug use, and body image for years. She’s had many infamous breakdown moments, including her notorious tweet about wanting Drake to “murder” her vagina. However, Amanda appeared to be doing well last year. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles in June and gave a candid interview to Paper Magazine about her downward spiral, in which she declared that she was on a better path now.

Amanda Bynes has had her ups and downs throughout the decade, ending up in rehab several times and seemingly going off the rails in a very public breakdown. People are fascinated by the former child star. Her acting resume has not been updated in years but she remains a high-profile celebrity, garnering attention from all corners of the internet. Last night, the star uploaded a new photo of herself, which ended up confusing her fans, mainly because of the new ink on her cheek.

It would appear as though Amanda Bynes went and got herself a face tattoo to end the year, starting the decade with love on her mind cheek. Updating her followers from what appears to be a family dinner, Bynes debuted the possible new ink on her face, which shows the crooked outline of a heart on the left side of her face. It has not been confirmed whether this is a temporary or permanent addition to her look but Bynes wouldn’t be alone in copping some new designs for her face this year. Her fellow child star Aaron Carter debuted a gigantic portrait of Rihanna as Medusa on his visage, shocking the world several months ago.

Much like Carter, Bynes’ work does not appear to be very well-done. In fact, the lines are lop-sided, leading some fans to take this as a cry for help. Do you think she is in trouble?
