Amanda Bynes reportedly reconciled with her ex Paul Michael. However, reports say that their engagement is still officially off, and the two are just back to dating. 

The “All That” star recently shared with her fans via Instagram stories that she is currently enrolled in a cosmetology school. “In cosmetology school to become a manicurist!” she wrote alongside a selfie taken at the school. The former Disney actress also shared photos of some creatively painted fingernails. 

Bynes has been out of the limelight for some time, but on October 24, she shocked some as she stepped out in Los Angeles! The Hairspray actress was photographed wearing black leggings and a flirty short-sleeved crop top as she headed for some errands to a local pharmacy to grab a coffee. She accessorized with black sneakers, gold statement earrings, a nose ring, and a white beaded handbag. She wore her long black hair in a casual ponytail. She also carried a beverage, a cell phone, and what appeared to be some keys. Her re-emergence into the public just came after she opened up about her battle with drug use in November 2018. In her interview with Paper Magazine, she revealed that she had tried drugs since age 16. “Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy,” she revealed to People magazine. “[I tried] cocaine three times but I never got high from cocaine. I never liked it. It was never my drug of choice.” She also shared that she “definitely abused Adderall.”

She got into a legal conservatorship in 2013, and by March 2022, a judge had lifted the conservatorship. “I have no fear of the future,” she told Paper. “I’ve been through the worst and came out the other end and survived it so I just feel like it’s only up from here.”
