The former child star previously resurfaced on the site last year, announcing in a September 2019 tweet that she had joined IG, although her previous posts seem to have since been taken down. Since then, news about Bynes has been sporadic and worrying.

In February, E! News confirmed that the What a Girl Wants star was engaged to a man named Paul Michael. The two fell in love after meeting in rehab. Not long after, she announced that she was pregnant, although her attorney told E! News in May that Bynes was not with child and that she was "sheltering in a safe location." Bynes also briefly broke up with Michael last spring, although they later reconciled.

In a now-deleted Instagram post last May (via Cosmopolitan), Bynes revealed that she was getting treatment for social anxiety and was in transitional living. She also said that she was looking to launch an online store, which may explain her latest Instagram handle.
