Amanda Bynes recently revealed a significant weight loss, attributing her slimmed-down figure to Ozempic.

The 39-year-old ex-actress posted a snapshot on her Instagram Stories on Monday, December 22, where she mentioned, “I usually dislike paparazzi photos since I weighed 180 pounds. But now, after shedding 28 pounds with Ozempic, I’m down to 152 pounds. I realize I still appear large, but this image truly inspires me!”

In the photo, Bynes is seen sporting ripped jeans and a Lady Gaga T-shirt while strolling along a sidewalk, complemented by a chic blue handbag, all embracing the laid-back California vibe.

Earlier in September, the former Nickelodeon star showcased a striking new hairstyle in Los Angeles, blending platinum and black shades reminiscent of early 2000s trends.

Aiming for a total weight loss exceeding 40 pounds, Amanda Bynes expressed her enthusiasm for Ozempic. In an Instagram Story update on Sunday, June 22, she shared, “I’m starting Ozempic. So thrilled! Currently, I weigh 173 pounds and aspire to reach 130, which would be fantastic.” Bynes continued to express her determination […]

Earlier this year, Bynes also announced via her Instagram page that she was launching an OnlyFans account. “Disclaimer: I’m doing OnlyFans to chat with my fans through dm’s,” she stated in April. “I won’t be posting any sleazy content.”

Bynes rose to fame as a child star with roles on Nickelodeon’s All That and The Amanda Show. As a teen, she headlined The WB sitcom What I Like About You and also starred in the films Big Fat Liar, She’s the Man and Hairspray during the Aughts. She retired from acting after making her final film, 2010’s Easy A. 

In 2019, Bynes graduated from California’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising with a fashion degree. She was profiled by Paper magazine around that time and spoke candidly about the pressures of early fame.

Amanda Bynes has embarked on a weight loss journey and she’s eager to share her results.

“I literally couldn’t stand my appearance in [Easy A] and I didn’t like my performance,” she told the outlet in 2018. “I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it.”

She added, “I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me. I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things.”

Bynes’ issues with substance abuse and mental health have made headlines since 2012 after a series of arrests that led to her being hospitalized on a 5150 psychiatric hold. She spent five months in rehab in 2013.

She started treatment again five years later. Bynes’ lawyer, David Esquibias, confirmed to Us Weekly in 2020 that the actress was seeking professional care for her “ongoing mental health issues.”

Bynes previously told Paper, “It definitely isn’t fun when people diagnose you with what they think you are. That was always really bothersome to me. If you deny anything and tell them what it actually is, they don’t believe you. Truly, for me, [my behavior] was drug-induced, and whenever I got off of [drugs], I was always back to normal.”

She updated her followers via her Instagram Story in March 2024, saying that she was “doing a lot better now” amid a bout of depression. In June of this year, she revealed that she was “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.”
