Amanda Bynes’ fiance Paul Michael claims they ‘never broke up’ and she’s undergoing ‘inpatient treatment for trauma’
AMANDA Bynes’ fiance Paul Michael insists the two “never broke up” and claims the former actress is currently undergoing inpatient treatment for trauma.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Paul claimed they never ended their three-week engagement after Amanda sparked split speculation by deleting their photos from Instagram.
Amanda, 33, slammed rumors by posting a selfie of the couple on Monday.
Paul told The Sun that their Instagram accounts were hacked and their photos were deleted.
He also claimed the hackers responded to direct messages.
Paul told The Sun: “We’re enjoying being engaged. We’ll let the world know when we have a date set.”
Paul claimed Amanda is currently in a residential treatment center for trauma.
He continued to allege: “She requested it due to trauma from her childhood that still affects her. She has been in treatment, but wanted to go to a center that took her insurance. That was the issue.
“Now she’s at a place that’s expensive but is better for trauma.”
During her inpatient treatment, Paul claimed she goes to a center for group therapy and one-on-one intensive trauma therapy.
According to Paul, she has the freedom to leave during the day.
Paul continued: “She is focused on moving past her trauma.”
He explained once she’s “gotten rid of her anxiety,” she will return to FIDM to earn her Bachelor’s degree.
Paul’s claims come after The Blast reported she has been ordered to enter a psychiatric facility.
The decision was made after the judge met with Amanda, her parents and Paul at a secret court hearing last Thursday.
The former Nickelodeon star agreed to go and was meant to admit herself to the live-in center over the weekend, but she allegedly never did.
The outlet reported the hearing was a major factor in Paul and Amanda’s split, as he was “freaking out” over the details of her case.
Amanda and Paul met in an AA meeting and were reportedly together for two months before their engagement.
A rep for Amanda did not respond to The Sun's request for comment.
