Looking like og mama June over there now"— Internet reacts to Amanda Bynes making a rare appearance at LA art show

Former child actress Amanda Bynes made a rare appearance at an art show in Los Angeles, California, on December 21, 2024. Bynes retired from acting in 2010 and has rarely been seen in public since then.

On Saturday, Amanda Bynes co-hosted an art show with fashion designer Austin Babbitt, popularly known as A--pizza. The event, attended by celebrities like Noah Cyrus, took place at the PLANTS N+ SPACES store in Los Angeles. Bynes was spotted wearing a black long-sleeve top, black pants, and Don Marten boots.

After pictures of Bynes' appearance surfaced online, fans took to social media platforms to share their thoughts on the former actress' supposed drastic change in appearance. One X user wrote:

"Looking like og mama June over there now."

Netizens chimed in to share their take on Bynes' rare appearance.

"That’s Hollywood lifestyle," another fan wrote

"Nickelodeon transitioned to Nick and ruined many children," a user opined.

"I'm guessing the same thing that happened to Ariana Grande," a netizen added.

Fans continued to comment on Amanda Bynes' latest appearance.

"Someone turned on the ‘devil switch’," a fan wrote.

"I don't know who Amanda bynes is. Are those really the same people? If so whatever she was doing to get herself that way she needs to try and reverse it. That is not a good look from where she started. Just like the opposite of what you want for before and after photo," an X user remarked.

"Is that really her?! I hope she's ok, Hollywood is evil," another netizen commented.

Amanda Bynes shared updates on her collaboration with A--pizza on Instagram

In October 2024, Amanda Bynes took to Instagram to announce her collaboration with fashion designer Austin Babbitt, aka A--pizza. In her story, Bynes wrote:

"My associate of art degree majoring in product development at FIDM paid off."

Bynes graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). With Babbitt, the former actress created a T-shirt featuring a picture of a woman on the back. The T-shirt is paired with a pair of shorts available in black, gray, and white. She also shared videos of the T-shirts being printed on her social media.

Apart from details on her collaboration, Amanda Bynes shared health updates with her followers via Instagram. In November 2024, she stated that she had lost six pounds by adhering to healthy food habits and walking in her weight loss journey. This announcement followed her earlier revelation that she had gained 20 pounds during a depressive episode months before.

"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 162 lbs. right now and want to get back to 110 lbs," the actress said about her weight loss in November.

Bynes also mentioned that she has been focusing on a new career as a cosmetologist and working towards getting a manicurist license. In December 2023, the actress began a podcast but called it off after one episode to focus on building a career as a manicurist. She wrote:

"The 1st episode of my podcast did really well... I was actually surprised and of course, was going to keep going because after friends encouraged me to. After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job. I'm going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey."

Amanda Bynes is known to have struggled with various mental health issues since quitting acting in 2010. The actress was under legal conservatorship for nine years and was released from it in 2022. Since then, she has reportedly been working on remaining sober.
