Amanda Bynes Calls BS On Viral Pregnant At 13 Claims

Amanda Bynes is pushing back against a viral video suggesting she was secretly pregnant at 13 with producer Dan Schneider's child.

The actress has faced pregnancy rumors before, most notably in 2020 when she posted and later deleted an ultrasound photo on Instagram. 

Amanda Bynes, once one of the biggest child stars of the 2000s, rose to fame on shows Dan Schneider helped create during Nickelodeon's peak era.

The clip, which recently resurfaced and quickly gained traction, appeared to show Bynes addressing the allegation against Schneider herself, but she says the footage was pieced together without her involvement.

According to Bynes, parts of the circulating edit were lifted from a short Instagram Story she posted. In it, she simply turned the camera toward the man she is currently seeing.

The viral version cuts to an unrelated scene before that moment, creating the impression she was trying to call out the producer for getting her pregnant at 13. 

In fact, Bynes tells TMZ the TikTok was doctored to look like her own upload. She says an unknown creator blended clips from different points in her social media activity and paired them with an old segment from "The Amanda Show," where she appeared in a hot tub with Schneider for a comedic skit.

This is not the first time she has been involved in pregnancy talk online, as Bynes had already dealt with a similar situation years ago. In 2020, she drew attention after posting an ultrasound image on Instagram, which was later removed.

According to PEOPLE, her attorney stepped in two months later to clarify that Bynes was not expecting a child with her then-partner, Paul Michael. The pair's relationship had moved quickly; they met toward the end of 2019, got engaged on Valentine's Day, and then called it off less than a month later. 

Michael also shared a slideshow that same March, which included a picture of the two of them and an ultrasound labeled with Bynes' name. His caption suggested the couple was preparing for a baby, and at the time, the outlet confirmed the pregnancy through a source.

Bynes is moving into a new chapter, and part of that shift includes taking control of her fitness goals. The Blast notes that earlier this year, she posted a short clip on Instagram outlining her plan to slim down as she revamps her presence on OnlyFans. 

In the video, she mentions starting Ozempic to help with weight management and hopes to drop several pounds so she feels more confident in photos.

Bynes explained, "Oh, I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome, so I look better in paparazzi pictures."

The TV personality also pointed out that she wants to tackle areas that bother her and told viewers she would document the process as it unfolds. Bynes made it clear her account is not headed in the explicit direction many associate with the platform. 

Before the talk shifted to her weight-loss plans, Bynes had already sparked a different kind of conversation earlier this year.

The 36-year-old wrapped up January wearing a bold stone on her ring finger, instantly sending social media into detective mode as fans questioned whether she was preparing to walk down the aisle again.

Her most recent relationship in the public eye was with former fiancé Paul Michael in 2023, so the sudden appearance of a new diamond only added to the curiosity. 

Speculation did not last long. People close to Bynes quickly clarified that the ring was not tied to any proposal and was simply an accessory she liked. The insider added that Bynes was channeling her energy into personal growth and building her career as a fashion designer.

Bynes may have shut down engagement chatter earlier in the year, but she did not deny having someone new in her life. By September, the curiosity paid off, andthe once-anonymous man appearing on her social media was finally identified, confirming that she had stepped into a new relationship.

As reported by The Blast, the former Nickelodeon star is now dating Zachary, a longtime friend who runs an event and security company. The pair were reportedly seen walking through Hollywood looking affectionate. 

Bynes also shared a sweet snapshot from a quiet getaway, showing Zachary lounging across from her as they enjoyed drinks and downtime. Another photo revealed the couple winding down for the night in loungewear. 

Amanda Bynes is determined to shut down false narratives by taking control of her own story.
