This week, a TikTok video was making the rounds, claiming The Amanda Show star said she got pregnant by ex-Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider at 13. However, Bynes told TMZ on Thursday that the video is completely fake—just old footage edited to look like a bombshell accusation.
Bynes confirmed the TikTok was not posted from her account. She explained that the creator edited together several unrelated videos—including a recent Instagram Story—to create “lies for clickbait.” The fake video cuts away before showing the man she is currently dating, making it seem like she is referring to Schneider.
The viral TikTok comes as Schneider faces ongoing backlash from 2024’s Quiet on Set, a docuseries that exposed allegations of abusive behavior during his time at Nickelodeon.
Schneider is suing the producers for defamation, arguing the series falsely depicted him as a child predator.
