The cooperation lasted a long time. In February 2020, Bynes told her Instagram followers that she intends to design her own fashion collection after graduating from FIDM.
” ‘Yes, Instagram. I just wanted to say hi to all my followers; I really wanted to say that I really appreciate you for supporting me,” she began at the time in her Instagram stories. “I’m really looking forward to launching my clothing line and hopefully it will be available online in the near future,” she said.

Nickelodeon’s ‘All That’ Stars: Where Are They Now?
Bynes has stayed out of the limelight in recent years. In November 2023, she announced that she would collaborate with her friend, Paula Sieminski, in the new podcast: Amanda Bynes and Paul Sieminski: Podcast. However, she told listeners in December that it would be a break. Only one episode has been released on the podcast’s YouTube page, featuring tattoo artist Dahlia Moth.
“So even though the podcast is doing really well and the response is great, I’m going to take a break from it for now,” Bynes said on her December Instagram as Story.
“We’re not able to get the type of guests that I would want on the show, like Jack Harlow or Drake or Post Malone,” she continued. “So maybe one day, if we can get those kinds of guests on the show, we’ll continue with the podcast. But for now, I’m taking a break on that.”
