Amanda Bynes is setting the record straight, telling everyone that the viral TikTok claiming she was pregnant by former Nickelodeon executive Dan Schneider when she was only 13 years old is absolutely fake. This whole situation is awful for Bynes. It’s incredibly frustrating to see how easily people spread total garbage online just for clicks, especially when it involves such serious and personal allegations.
Bynes spoke directly to TMZ, confirming that the video spreading like wildfire across TikTok was not created by her at all. She says the clip is heavily altered and completely full of “BS.” The OnlyFans creator wants you to know that whoever made the video actively spliced together parts of her social media posts to create “lies for click bait.”
The viral video attempts to make it look like Bynes is publicly confirming some serious allegations against Schneider, but she says that’s simply not true. It didn’t come from her official TikTok account, and it uses deceptive editing to mislead viewers.
Amanda Bynes was not impregnated by Dan Schneider
Bynes detailed exactly how they pulled off this nasty trick. She explained that the first part of the clip was actually lifted from a recent Instagram Story she had posted. In her original video, she turns the camera to show the guy she’s currently dating. However, the edited TikTok cuts away right before the camera turns, completely changing the context of the video. It’s a cheap move, and it shows you really have to be careful about what you believe these days.
This entire situation drags Dan Schneider back into the spotlight, which is something he’s been dealing with quite a bit lately. We know that Schneider is currently taking legal action himself. He’s suing the producers of the Quiet on Set documentary for defamation. He claims the documentary falsely portrayed him as a child sexual abuser and that the producers ruined his reputation in the process.
It’s worth remembering that this isn’t the first time Schneider has faced accusations of inappropriate behavior. Lori Beth Denberg, who was an alum of All That, previously accused Schneider of acting inappropriately. However, that was related to a time when she was a young adult. Schneider responded to those claims, stating that she was exaggerating the situation.
Bynes is making it crystal clear that the specific, highly damaging pregnancy rumor is not only false but was fabricated using her own content against her. If you see this video pop up on your feed, you can disregard it entirely.
