Amanda Bynes is addressing a recently circulated TikTok video that falsely claims she was impregnated by former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider when she was just 13 years old. Speaking to TMZ, Bynes clarified that the video is a fabrication, combining edited clips to create misleading narratives for sensationalism. She emphasized that the TikTok was not posted from her official account and pointed out that the creator manipulated her past videos, including a recent Instagram Story, to give the impression of a shocking revelation.
This misleading video coincides with renewed scrutiny on Schneider due to the upcoming docuseries “Quiet on Set,” set to air in 2024. The series has drawn criticism of Schneider, whose past conduct at Nickelodeon has been subjected to serious allegations. In response, Schneider has filed a defamation lawsuit against the docuseries’ producers, claiming it wrongfully portrays him as a predator.
