Amanda Bynes shocked fans by announcing her latest major career move.
The former child star, 39, is launching her very own OnlyFans page — 15 years after quitting the entertainment business.
OnlyFans, a website where users can offer exclusive, paywalled content, has earned an X-rated reputation since gaining popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stars like Denise Richards, Iggy Azalea and Cardi B have all stripped down for the subscription-based platform in recent years — and made ‘millions’ in the process.
But on Tuesday, Bynes insisted that she will not be ‘posting any sleazy content’ on her OnlyFans.
In an Instagram Story post, the Nickelodeon alum stated she will use the page to communicate with her fans.

‘I’m doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm’s. I won’t be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join,’ she wrote.
Fans will have to fork over $50 per month if they wish to have access to Bynes’ OnlyFans.
As of now, Bynes has only shared two mirror selfies to her account.
One selfie showed the star modeling a black sports bra.
The other gave fans a better look at Bynes’ unique makeup and bleach blonde hair.
Since ditching Hollywood in 2010, Bynes has set her sights on a career in fashion and art.
Amid concerns about her mental health and substance abuse, Bynes was placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013.
During that time, the troubled star first pursued fashion and art while attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
She graduated with an Associate’s of Art degree in 2014.

In 2022, Bynes’ conservatorship was terminated and she has reportedly remained clean and sober.
She’s also has been slowly getting her new career plans off the ground ever since.
In December 2024, Bynes hosted a pop-up art show that was attended by various celebrities including Miley Cyrus’ younger sister, Noah Cyrus.
Around that time, an insider close to the former child star revealed to DailyMail.com that pursuing a career in art is a ‘tremendous step forward’ for Bynes.
‘This is and was a tremendous step forward for Amanda,’ the source said.
‘She will be going through her mental health struggles for the rest of her life but to be out and about and share with friends and fans and to be around her latest love, her art was exactly what she needed.’
Fans will recall her highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s, which led to a string of bizarre tweets, legal troubles and concerning behavior that ultimately resulted in a downward spiral and her conservatorship.
In 2015, Amanda told Paper Magazine that she had ‘definitely abused Adderall,’ a popular drug to treat ADHD, in hopes of using its stimulant and appetite suppression effects to help her maintain a desired weight.

The source also shared with DailyMail.com that Bynes is ‘happy and relaxed’ as she has made a smaller-scale persona for herself that provides a new form of fulfillment.
‘It was relief and put her mind at ease and she was just happy and relaxed.’ The insider shared. ‘It didn’t start out that way as she was worried about how people would take it, but it was as much of a success that it could possibly be.’
‘She’s hoping to do more of it in the new year, because her returning to acting on an active basis is just not going to happen,’ they added.
In fact, Amanda uses her art as a coping mechanism and she is in a much better place than she has been as of late.
‘People who are close to her are championing her to attack this new world with all of her ability because seeing her happy is amazing,’ the source claimed.
Her December art show — which showcased her own original works and clothing — drew praise from fans, with many calling the pop-up ‘inspirational.’
In a post from her big night, the star appeared to be in good spirits and posed with a male pal.

One fan penned in the comments, ‘I have followed you for years. And this is the happiest I have seen you. Anytime you speak about your art on your socials your eyes light up in a way I’ve never seen.’
And an attendee chimed in, ‘I really enjoyed your exhibition Amanda!’
‘Keep up the great work being comfortable in your own skin and balancing it with healthy growth! It’s been so lovely to see,’ another added.
The show was in collaboration fashion designer Austin Babbitt, aka Asspizza, and held at the PLANTS + SPACES store in Los Angeles. Bynes claimed the event ‘sold-out.’
