Amanda Bynes Reveals Weight Loss Goal with Ozempic After Joining OnlyFans

Amanda Bynes is going on a weight loss journey with Ozempic.

The former Nickelodeon star, 39, shared a new video to her Instagram Stories on Sunday night.

She looks far from what she used to look like in her acting days, which she stepped away from in 2010 when she was 20-years-old.

The She’s the Man star said she plans to go on Ozempic in order to lose weight so that she looks ‘better in paparazzi photos.’

‘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,’ Bynes said in the video.

She added, ‘I will post about my Ozempic journey of course.’

Last year, the She’s the Man star, revealed she’d gained 20 pounds due to depression and at the time said she’d like to get back to the 110 pounds she weighed as a teenager.

Amanda announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site OnlyFan in April, telling fans she was using it merely to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything ‘sleazy.’

Calling it a ‘career renaissance,’ she wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year after the explosive documentary Quiet on Set, which exposed the ‘toxic environment’ at the TV network.

A source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal ‘what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.’

‘Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.

‘Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities.

‘She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty.

‘She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don’t know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.

Then she made a sharp change in subject, mentioning she’s going on Ozempic in an effort to ‘look better in paparazzi photos’

‘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,’ Bynes said in the video. Seen here in 2003

She also mentioned how her double chin can be seen from certain angles now. She added, ‘I will post about my Ozempic journey of course’

‘She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.’

The insider said she ‘doesn’t care if friends won’t like that she is doing this’ as she is ‘looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.’

They added: ‘She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.’

Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business.

‘I’m doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm’s,’ she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. ‘I won’t be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.’

She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page which currently has mirror selfies.

Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010.

It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013.

In the wake of the documentary Quiet on the Set, a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider.

The clip was taken from Bynes’ recurring sketch, Amanda’s Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool.

Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being ‘very close’ – including ‘physically.’

Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: ‘There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever.

‘Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn’t think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.’

Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct.
