The Amanda Show alum made a brief return to the spotlight via her since cancelled podcast.
The debut episode came out on December 9 and by the 17th she had cancelled the project.
‘So even though the podcast is doing really well and the response has been great, I am going to take a pause on it for now,’ she said on TikTok on December 17.
‘We are not able to get the type of guests that I’d like on the show, say like Jack Harlow, or Drake, or Post Malone, so maybe one day if we’re able to get those types of guests we will resume the podcast. But for now I’m taking a pause on it.’
She continued, ‘Thank you everyone who watched I really hope you enjoyed it, and that is all for now.’
Ultimately, Bynes decided to end the podcast for good in an effort to ‘have a consistent job.’
