Nickelodeon star has shared a rare selfie after she updated fans on struggling with her weight following a recent episode of depression. In the snap, Amanda can be seen facing the camera and sat with her arms and legs crossed as she poses for the photograph. She's wearing a white denim jacket, grey leggings and a black beanie hiding her hair. The star's facial tattoos are visible as she looks straight into the camera. The former child star's confession comes after the release of the documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which is addresses the sexualization of some of the stars of Nickelodeon in its heyday, including Amanda. The selfie also comes as Bynes revealed she's put on weight after a recent bout with depression as she updated fans on Instagram. She told fans by sharing on her
Instagram Stories: "I've gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed." The former All That alum admitted she wants to get herself back on track and 'eat clean' as she added: "I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean. I weigh 162lbs right now and want to get back to 110lbs." Her weight confession comes after reports she was asked to take part in the damning documentary, Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. Amanda is thought to have declined an invitation from producers to take part in the program. Despite not being interviewed in the tell-all show, Amanda does feature heavily, with one scene showing her in a hot tub with Dan Schneider. The documentary features explosive allegations about Nickelodeon during the years Schneider worked at the network, with claims the child actors were highly sexualized while others faced shocking
racism. Schneider has denied claims made against him in the documentary. The documentary featured a clip that showed Schneider in a hot tub with Bynes when she was 16 years old. The video is taken from The Amanda Show and was filmed in 2002. It shows Schneider, who is 20 years Bynes' senior, sitting next to the
Actress while she wore a bikini at 16 years old. The sketch was written by Schneider and has now been branded "uncomfortable" by viewers.
