Actress Amanda Bynes, who was seeking mental health treatment, is making an entertainment comeback as a podcast host.
On December 9, after staying out of the spotlight for years, the actress debuted ‘Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast’. The series, available also in video format, marks the first on-camera project for Bynes since filming the 2010 comedy movie ‘Easy A’.
On the first episode of the podcast, also released in video format, she does not talk about herself but rather plays the role of interviewer. She and co-host Paul Sieminski, a biochemist, speak to Los Angeles tattoo artist Dahlia Moth, who had met the Hairspray star a few years ago while working at a Spirit Halloween store.
"First episode of Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast done," Bynes wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the three sitting together and flashing peace signs, reports eonline.com.
"Thank you @dahliamoth!"
The 37-year-old showcased a new hairstyle on the podcast: Platinum blond hair, which she wore in two space buns. She had debuted the hair color earlier this fall.
For more than a decade, Amanda has largely kept out of the public eye and spoken sparingly about her private life amid personal struggles, focusing on other projects outside of Hollywood.
In 2021, her conservatorship was terminated after almost nine years. This past March, Bynes was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold and did not travel to Connecticut to join her former All That co-stars for a cast reunion at 90s Con as she had originally planned.
The former child star announced in November that she and Paul were working on a podcast, saying in an Instagram video, "At first we are going to interview our friends and then we're hoping to take it mainstream and interview celebrities and artists."
