Amanda Bynes Addresses Face Tattoo After Making Industry Comeback With New Podcast

Former child star Amanda Bynes made a welcome return to the entertainment industry with the release of her debut podcast episode. Bynes previously shared her plans to delve into the world of podcasting, which she revealed will focus on "the entertainment industry."

The actress discussed face tattoos on the premiere episode of her latest media adventure while rocking a platinum blonde space buns hairdo. It comes after a series of 5150 holds in the previous months where she was hospitalized for her mental health troubles.

The "Hairspray" actress recently launched her podcast, "Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast," which she previously revealed will center on discussions about various aspects of the entertainment industry, including "fashion, artists, actors, actresses, music, and everything else."

To announce the launch, Bynes took to her Instagram account to share a photo of herself, her co-host, Paul Sieminski, and their guest, Dahlia Moth, sitting on a couch together and posing with peace signs.

"First episode of Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast done," she wrote in the caption. "Thank you @dahliamoth!"

Bynes, who rose to fame in the late '90s and early 2000s with her roles in hit television shows and films like "All That," "The Amanda Show," and "What a Girl Wants," didn't talk much about herself on the take-off episode as she chatted with Sieminski and Moth about face tattoos. They reminisced on how they met the model some years back when she was working at a spirit Halloween store.

"Nobody cares anymore if people have face tattoos. It shouldn't matter," Bynes shared.

Many fans took to the comment section of her post to wish her well on her new adventure and to express their enthusiasm about the podcast and the nature of the content she's set to dish out.

"Loved the podcast, Amanda! It's so great to hear from you again!" a fan shared.

Another fan said, "It was such a great first podcast! So happy to see Amanda being supported by such beautiful people. May this be the first of many podcasts!"

"Nice!" one fan penned. "You and Paul are really cute together! Hope to see more content from you two."

However, some fans were not comfortable with Sieminski as they shared their reservations about him.

A particularly concerned person said, "Who is Paul? We need to do a deep dive to make sure he's safe to be around." Another simply wrote, "Who tf is Paul Sieminski?"

The "She's The Man" star recently took the internet by storm as she debuted a striking new look featuring a platinum blonde hairstyle, per Page Six. Last Thursday, she was seen walking home from a Starbucks store in Marina del Ray, California, with her newly dyed hair in two space buns.

She wore a focused and intent look on her face, carrying a travel tray that held two mini-sized drinks. The former Nickelodeon star dazzled in lilac skinny jeans and a cropped collared shirt that had an engraved text about following one's dreams.

She completed the look with a black Vans and popped her facial features with red lipstick. Bynes wore dark sunglasses to protect her eyes from the sun and carried a mini bag in one hand.

The podcast launch, which is her first onscreen adventure since the 2010 romantic comedy "Easy A," comes after a challenging year marked by a series of 5150 holds, which raised concerns about her well-being.

Bynes raised concerns in March for a puzzling and concerning incident where she was seen wandering the streets aimlessly and even hitchhiking from Hollywood to Beverly Hills. Sources told the news outlet that she must have been on the street for several days before she was found naked, and she was subsequently placed on a psychiatric hold at the time.

"Amanda has left the medical facility on her own recognizance," a source told the Daily Mail after her treatment. "She was very cooperative and participated in her recovery; the staff supported her decision to leave as she had successfully completed the treatment program."

Authorities considered her "a danger to herself and others" in June and placed her back on 5150 psychiatric hold after she called the cops on herself.
