2009
In 2009, Bynes was spotted leaving George Hair Salon in Beverly Hills. One year later, she announced on Twitter — now X — about her retirement from acting.
"I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been apart of I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play," she wrote.
Bynes tweeted, "I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've retired."
October 2023
While Bynes briefly returned to the public eye in 2017, she posted her oldest Instagram update in October 2023. At the time, she announced she was working on a coffee table book.
"We are working on a top-secret photoshoot tomorrow in L.A. If you want details, please text me," she said in the clip.
Bynes looked extremely different from her Nickelodeon days, leading the public to throw her questions about whether she underwent plastic surgery.
In the first episode of her podcast with her best friend, Paul Sieminski, Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast, the former child star opened up about her life.
"Nobody cares anymore if people have face tattoos. It shouldn't matter," she said of the heart tattoo on her face, which she debuted in 2019. "I was never open about this before, but I actually had blepharoplasty surgery on the skin folds and the corner of my eyes."
Bynes continued, "It was one of the best things I could've ever done for my self-confidence, and it made me feel a lot better in my skin, so I just wanted to post about that just to clear up that rumor as to why I have a new look."
She added it was one of the greatest things he had ever done in her life.

Bynes tied part of her hair to film a short clip of herself trying out her new phone.
"Bought a new iPhone and the camera on it is a lot better than the camera on the android I had," she wrote.

To mark the launch of her podcast, she uploaded a copy of the Polaroid photograph in which she posed with Sieminski and tattoo artist Dahlia Moth.
