Amanda Bynes has resurfaced in public for the first time following Drake Bell’s child molestation claims against former professional mentor Brian Peck, and she’s sporting a brand new look. The former Nickelodeon child star emerged on Friday, marking her first public appearance since Bell set the stage to level serious allegations against Peck in a new documentary.
The documentary, titled “Quiet on Set,” will air Bell’s story for the first time and touches on the experiences of former child stars during Nickelodeon’s heyday. Many have wondered if Bynes herself would be part of the documentary, considering her history with Peck on shows like “The Amanda Show” and “Drake & Josh.” Bynes was spotted out and about in L.A. with a colorful new hairdo, featuring blonde hair on top with blue extensions.
Although Bynes has been out of the spotlight for years, she has recently shown signs of putting herself out there again through podcasts and other ventures. With the Nickelodeon documentary shedding light on past experiences of child stars, there has been speculation about whether Bynes will come forward to make allegations of her own.
Meanwhile, Drake Bell is prepared to break his silence in the documentary, making claims against Peck, who worked as a dialogue coach on several Nickelodeon shows. Peck pleaded no contest in 2004 to performing lewd acts with minors, and Bell is expected to allege that he was one of Peck’s victims during that time.
Peck has worked on numerous children’s shows over the years, including those featuring Amanda Bynes. Other former child stars, such as those from “Boy Meets World,” have expressed regret over their past affiliations with Peck. The documentary aims to shed light on the alleged misconduct that occurred during the Nickelodeon era.
As for Bynes, she has remained quiet on the subject thus far, and her new fashion statement may hint at her decision to stay out of the spotlight. It remains unclear what message she is trying to convey with her unique style choice, but it seems that she may be signaling that she is choosing to sit this one out. Only time will tell if Bynes will choose to speak out about her experiences in the future.
