Amanda Bynes Posts Rare Instagram Video Showing New Face Tattoo, Thanks Fans & Announces Business Venture
Amanda Bynes has continued to stay active on Instagram this week after announcing her engagement. Her latest post is a rare video where she updated fans on a potential new business venture. Fans also got a shot of the star’s second heart tattoo, which matched the other design on her face.
The former actress has had a tumultuous few years struggling with addiction and mental issues that have seen her enter rehab several times. This marks her sixth Instagram post in a week — which is significant, considering she only has 18 total posts — and she used it to give a personal update. As covered by The Inquisitr, a source close to the former child star said she was struggling and had not been working recently.
In the video, the 33-year-old rocks a white hoodie and wears her hair down, with her septum piercing and the outlined heart tattoo on her left cheek clearly visible. Above her eye is a similar tattoo that fans may have missed before. This one is roughly half the size of the outlined heart tattoo, but unlike the first one, it has been filled in. It was present in her last post alongside her fiance, but that time, it was barely visible.
She starts the clip by addressing her fans, thanking them for their continuous support.
“Sup, Instagram. Just wanted to say hi to all of my followers,” the former actress said. “I really wanted to say I appreciate you guys for supporting me.”
Bynes is pursuing a career in fashion, as she completed her education at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
“Wanted to check in, let you know that I’m out to dinner right now with my friend, Kathy, who’s a student adviser at FIDM, my college,” she added.
The What A Girl Wants star announced she will be launching her own clothing brand, although she does not have details on when it will be available.
“I’m really looking forward to starting my clothing line, and I’m hoping that in the near future it will be out online,”
Her video has over 23,000 likes, but as with other posts, she had disabled comments from her 284,000-plus followers.
The announcement of her upcoming clothing line comes days after her engagement with Paul Michael was made public and details surfaced that Bynes would need permission from her mother to get married.
As reported by The Inquisitr, her mother, Lynn Organ, acts as her conservator. If the former actress does not receive consent, her marriage could be annulled.
