Amanda Bynes, the former child star famous for her roles in “The Amanda Show” and various hit films, has officially joined the subscription-based platform OnlyFans in 2023. So now she’s looking to reconnect with her fans. Simultaneously, she is making bold moves to define the kind of content she will be creating — and NOT creating — on the platform.
Bynes also recently stated that her OnlyFans account will be more about interaction and connection with her fans and less about posting explicit content. She emphasized, “I’m on OnlyFans now! Disclaimer: I’m doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through dm’s. I won’t be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.” This strategy is indicative of her goal to be accessible, relatable, and interactive to her fans while still authoritative over her narrative and aesthetic.
The actress has fearlessly opened up about her own mental health struggles, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis and issues with substance abuse. She has experienced dramatic swings of fortune in recent years. In 2022, she went through a police encounter that resulted in her being put on a psychiatric hold. Over the course of the year, she was treated in mental health facilities several times. In 2021, she was found walking down city streets without clothes. This incident brought home her continuing battles.
Aside from her path towards focusing on mental health, Bynes has been outspoken about her physical health aspirations. Even though she was at a healthy weight of 162 pounds in 2022, she stated her intent to lose down to 110 pounds. Even though she had recently shared in March 2024 about her 20-pound weight gain due to depression, she wanted to reassure her followers by saying, “I’m doing a lot better now! What I’ve learned is that when you don’t want to work out or eat clean — do the exact opposite thing. This quote speaks to her exceptional focus on self-awareness and personal well-being.
Bynes opened her OnlyFans account shortly after her conservatorship ended in 2022. This new freedom gave her the ability to make decisions about her life and career on her own terms. Now that she has regained some control over her life, she has courted the media, the law, and social media to help rehabilitate her career and public persona.
As Bynes begins this exciting new phase of her life, her fans continue to support her as she works to achieve lasting stability and success. Her OnlyFans account is a space to find open-hearted connection. It symbolizes her resolve to retake her story in the court of public opinion.
