Amanda Bynes' Most Outrageous Rants After Quitting Hollywood Revealed — From DUI Claim to Telling All About Drugs, Depression and Dad's 'Abuse'

In 2012, Amanda Bynes revealed she was doing well after leaving Hollywood and pursuing different endeavors.

She told People: "I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line.

"I am not talking about being arrested for DUI because I don't drink, and I don't drink and drive. It is all false."

Since retiring from the industry, the All That alum began posting rants on X.

She asked Drake to "murder" her private part in one message and threatening media outlets to sue them in another.

Bynes also called the hip-hop star "ugly" and accused him of having Down syndrome.

Bynes told Paper Magazine years after posting her drug-fueled tweets: "I'm really ashamed and embarrassed with the things I said. I can't turn back time but if I could, I would. And I'm so sorry to whoever I hurt and whoever I lied about because it truly eats away at me.

"It makes me feel so horrible and sick to my stomach and sad. Everything I worked my whole life to achieve, I kind of ruined it all through Twitter. It's definitely not Twitter's fault – it's my own fault."

Bynes appeared in an exclusive interview and called out the people who branded her crazy.

She told In Touch: "I have no clue. Every time I've heard it, it came from an ugly person's mouth, so I don't care."

At the time, Bynes claimed she did not drink because she was allergic to alcohol and she was trying to get back in shape.

In October 2014, the She's the Man star surprised her followers again when she dropped a series of tweets accusing her father of "verbally and physically" abusing her as a child.

Bynes said in a since-deleted tweet: "He called me ugly as a child and then asked me if I wanted to have sex with him and I did not know how to respond and I said no and then I was forced to live with my dad which was a total nightmare."

She added in another tweet: "My dad fondled himself in front of me so many times that I started recording him on my phone in hopes of catching him saying or doing something inappropriate around me so I could get him arrested & put in jail for the rest of his perverted life."

Bynes claimed her mother knew about the alleged behavior but never called the police.

Bynes has shared social media posts about her bipolar and manic-depressive diagnoses – as well as the treatment she was receiving to manage the symptoms.

In 2018, the Hairspray actress revealed she was nearly four years sober after struggling with drug addiction.

Bynes told Paper Magazine: "There are gateway drugs and thankfully I never did heroin or meth or anything like that but certain things that you think are harmless, they may actually affect you in a more harmful way.

"Be really, really careful because you could lose it all and ruin your entire life like I did."

During her first on-screen project in a decade, Bynes spoke about face tattoos while interviewing tattoo artist Dahlia Moth on Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast.

After the episode's release, she recorded a TikTok video where she spoke about people who said she had a new look.

Bynes said: "I was never open about this before, but I actually had blepharoplasty surgery on the skin folds in the corners of my eyes.

"I don't have those skin folds anymore – it was one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence and it made me feel a lot better in my skin. So I just wanted to post about that just to clear up that rumor as to why I have a new look."

She continued: "I feel a lot better now about myself, and I'm so glad I had the blepharoplasty surgery. It was one of the greatest things I could've ever done."

Bynes also spoke about the scars on the right side of her face.

While Bynes had been trying to find her way back to Hollywood, she hit a glitch when she stopped working on her podcast.

She said: "Even though the podcast is doing really well and the response has been great, I am going to take a pause on it for now.

"We are not able to get the type of guests that I'd like on the show, say like Jack Harlow or Drake or Post Malone, so maybe one day if we're able to get those types of guests, we will resume the podcast."

After canceling the project, Bynes posted an Instagram Story to thank everyone who supported her podcast journey.

Bynes, who has been wanting to start a career as a manicurist, revealed she would retake the board exam so she could finally get to work.

She said: "I really hope I pass the test this time.

"I will let you all know if I do or don't, of course, and I'll keep retaking it until I get the license."

In a post in March, the What I Like About You alum opened up about her mental health struggles and her weight gain.

Bynes said in another Instagram post: "I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean.

"I weigh 162lbs right now and want to get back to 110lbs."
