Amanda Bynes: 'Paul & I Are Staying Together' After Drug Abuse Drama

Amanda Bynes is backtracking her statements about her fiancé Paul Michael.

The Blast previously reported on Bynes and Michaels’ early morning verbal dispute on Thursday, April 28.

Now, the retired actress is biting her tongue and kicking herself for what she said.

In an exclusive statement to E! News, the “Fairfax” rapper said, “I thought Paul relapsed, but I was wrong.”

Her fiancé vehemently denied her claims that he had been using for six months.

In a separate statement to E!, Michael said he’s “not using now.”

Bynes’ statement continued, “He drug tested for me from a drug test kit I bought from CVS. The drug test was negative for all substances. Paul and I are staying together. I am so sorry for the confusion I caused."

According to reports, around 2:30 AM, cops arrived on the scene due to Paul telling law enforcement that he and Amanda were in a verbal dispute.

The “She’s The Man” actress was accused by Paul of taking his Adderall and being out of control.

He told LAPD officers that Amanda kicked him out of the house, but he stayed until they arrived on scene.

Following the early morning incident, Amanda took to her Instagram stories to share her side of the story.

"Paul told me that he stopped taking his medications. I looked at his phone and he was looking at mom-and-son porn. He vandalized his mom’s home. He broke all of her pictures and put salmon under her bed,” the former Nickelodeon star said. “His behavior’s alarming, and I’m afraid of what he’ll do.”

However, if that wasn’t bizarre enough… Amanda concluded her Story by saying she “found Paul’s stash of crack cocaine. He’s been using for the past six months. He needs serious help. I kicked him out of my house.”

In a NEW turn of events, the FIDM student hopped back on Instagram Stories once again.

“Correction, Paul looked up ‘MILFS,’ moms and sons just popped up. Also, I went to CVS, bought a drug test, Paul tested clean,” she explained. “Paul’s clean.”

And of course, she had to add a bit of humor to her story and said in another story, “Also, I had something in my teeth in the last video.”

Paul also took to his Instagram and claimed he didn’t know “what the f**k she’s talking about.”

This behavior by both is alarming given they both have past records of substance abuse.

The couple met in rehab and had been dating for a few months before announcing their engagement in February 2020. The couple split shortly after the engagement, but eventually patched things up.

Paul spoke to E! News in December 2020 and divulged things were going great in their relationship.

"We take good care of each other, and we're understanding of one another, and she is a good listener, and we're there for each other," he said at the time. "We have the best time, and I love spending every second with her. She is the best thing that ever happened to me."

Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, Amanda and Paul have seemed to be on great terms as of late.

The couple released not one, but TWO new raps songs together, “Diamonds” and “Fairfax.”

Her fiancé raps, “drippin in diamonds, icy, drippin in diamonds,” and Bynes follows up rapping, “Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds on my neck, on my wrist.”

If listening to the song rings any bells in your head, you’re not going crazy.

Back in January 2021, Amanda teased the song on her private Instagram account.

Paul also posted the clip to TikTok, in which he raps quote, “drippin in diamonds, icy, drippin in diamonds.”
