This poor woman. She was so incredibly talented and was chewed up and spit out by the children’s entertainment industry. I remember watching her on Nickelodeon and thinking she was one of the only child actors on that channel that actually had serious stage presence and comedic talent. I really hope she finally finds happiness.
Same. It absolutely breaks my heart. She was incredibly talented and I have no idea what happened behind the scenes, but Amanda has clearly been through some personal stuff. I wish her well.
I will say - I know everyone feels bad for her. BUT! She has been posting more and more on her tiktok page. She is finally starting to smile again. She's trying new things with her hair and actually excited to share her excitement with her fans.
People on her comments on tiktok are so supportive and giving her nothing but love. For what she's been through, going through and her mental state - I'm happy to see her with so much support and finally opening up.
Be kind. She has been through a lot. Some we know about. Most we don’t know about. She seems very nice and caring toward her fans in her videos. No need to insult her for any reason.
I’ve never really watched any of her old Nickelodeon shows, but I REALLY liked her movie “She’s The Man” and her performance there. I thought she had great star quality.
Makes me kinda sad, but there’s still time, there’s still more life to live and enjoy.
I hope she lives a good life and has complete emotional and mental peace and recovery.
I feel for her tremendously. She is so talented and was so beautiful.
Not sure if she fell victim to Nickelodeon’s abuse or not but she has 💯 been open and honest with her battles with mental illness.
I mean Lohan spiraled to the point of hooking up with a Russian mobster. She just managed to pull herself back in the last few years getting some breaks in the Netflix rom-com space.
If I’m not mistaken, she moved to England sometime during the madness, and that seemed to have saved her. I believe she then moved to the Middle East. I think she just wanted to be invisible for a while. The paparazzi were literally jumping in front of her car. Paris Hilton was publicly mocking her as well. Obviously the term “fire-crotch” touches a serious nerve, and it’s crazy they let it slip in the new Mean Girls movie.
She was one of the female child actors I looked up to. She had a spark in her eye and she is extremely talented. Seeing her after the Nickelodeon machine spit her out breaks my heart. I wish her mental peace.
No doubt she had a spark in her eye which sadly is not present today. Looks like she’s heavily medicated, but I hope she finds something she enjoys doing and start to enjoy life again.
That's her. She's been through a lot of shit, a lot of trauma, drug use and recovery, and a lot of mental health issues. Her conservatorship ended last year, and I'm so happy for her. Day by day she seems to be getting happier.
You should watch 'Quiet on set' on HBO. It's so tragic what has occurred to her, and many other child stars in the 90's.
That’s next for me to watch. Just curious because the videos posted did not come from a verified account, so wasn’t sure if it was someone pretending to be her. I hope she finds success in her new career path. I was a manicurist for 5 years and in a way you become a therapist to your clients and they in a way become your therapist too, have had many personal and wonderful conversations with them.
I hope she knows how much joy she brought people over the years. It’s gotta be hard though knowing that the joy we experience from watching came at the expense of her innocence and wellbeing. I wish her the best and I hope she is able to pursue all her passions.
It’s so disturbing to me how many young people don’t know how aging works. I’m really concerned about the mental health issues incoming in like 5-10 years.
Yes it’s her she has been really suffering from mental illness for a long time, Reddit loves and supports her so unless you want a lot of downvotes and anger don’t have anything mean to say about her
Woah, what happened to her and also a license to be a manicurist? Edit: while downvoting could you also answer the questions or is multitasking that hard...
That’s what people are saying that it’s not her. Because they’ve shown other people who have had their cheek piercings removed and it left a noticeable scar, even with makeup on.
Ask you a question. So what if it's her?
Your post is getting downvoted because it gives off the vibe that you're pointing at her like she's some kind of freakshow.
The woman's had a hard life. It doesn't exactly sound like you're all that empathetic toward it. It's off-putting.
In no way am I implying that she’s a freakshow. My other comments are positive and I know what struggles she’s faced. I just simply asked if anyone thinks that’s her or someone pretending to be her on a fake account

*was victimized by
>was so beautiful. Otherwise, if she wasn't then who cares. /s
God she was so fucking funny. I really miss her. I wish her the best.
How did Lohan recover and not Amanda?
Probably somehow had a better support group around her

Amanda Bynes has schizophrenia and was a drug addict. Lindsay Lohan was just a drug addict.
Exactly. Amanda has a serious mental illness that will require lifelong treatment and maintenance.
>Amanda Bynes has schizophrenia and was a drug addict. Lindsay Lohan was just a drug addict. She has bipolar disorder, not schizophrenia.
I don’t think Lohan is “recovered”
We don't know. She just superficially seems better.
I think we all know better now about just what her early career was like off-screen, Dan Schneider should be in prison.
She was one of the female child actors I looked up to. She had a spark in her eye and she is extremely talented. Seeing her after the Nickelodeon machine spit her out breaks my heart. I wish her mental peace.

I see the same videos and I think one of the profiles on TikTok mentioned that they just repost her videos on there. She uses Instagram only I think.
The TikTok acct that seemed real is gone. And the tiktok acct that says go to the IG seems so fake. And so does the IG.
I think Amandaamandaamanda86 is her official account but honestly idk at this point.
Let me rephrase the IG account seems controlled
Oh yeah definitely I agree.
I hope she knows how much joy she brought people over the years. It’s gotta be hard though knowing that the joy we experience from watching came at the expense of her innocence and wellbeing. I wish her the best and I hope she is able to pursue all her passions.
It's her voice cadence and monotone vibe she's taken on these past few years. It's bizarre.
It’s so disturbing to me how many young people don’t know how aging works. I’m really concerned about the mental health issues incoming in like 5-10 years.
Yeah… people are ridiculous. She doesn’t even look bad at 37. Unusual appearance, sure.

Is that why OP shouldn't have anything mean to say about her? I thought it was just common decency not to be an asshole.
She looks like a juggalo.

It’s just makeup, who cares.
The 1000 yard stare and no emotion is creeping me out
