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.
Amanda Bynes & Fiancé Call Off Engagement After 3 Weeks
Amanda Bynes and her fiancé, Paul Michael, have split after getting engaged just 3 weeks ago.
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.
