She began: "Hey everyone. This is Paul, my fiancee, I'm so lucky.
"As you can see, he's drop-dead gorgeous. He's the best person on the face of the Earth."
Adding: "I just wanted to post a video to say sorry to everyone whom I called ugly on Twitter.
"I was feeling so ugly at the time and it was really hard for me to express myself at the time because I was so drugged out.

"Now I have remained sober for over a year, same with Paul, and I just want to let you know that I love you guys and I'm so happy now," she beamed.
The former child star is set to marry Paul Michael, who she reportedly has been dating for two or three months after meeting at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Previously, The Blast revealed that Paul is in his twenties and from the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. His father is a prominent doctor in LA.

Amanda revealed to the world on Valentine’s Day she will marry the "love of her life" and posted a picture of her huge diamond ring in the surprise announcement.
Just one day later, the Nickelodeon star posted the first-look at her husband-to-be and simply captioned the photo "lover".
However, the troubled star needs the permission of her mother, as she is her conservator, to green light the wedding.

"As Amanda’s conservator, her mother has responsibility over her daughter’s decision-making, including whether or not to allow her to marry," Neama Rahmani, president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told Us Weekly.
"If Amanda’s parents did not consent to the marriage, they can petition the court to annul the marriage on the basis of Amanda's 'unsound mind.'"
Additionally, her parents were not even surprised by the engagement. A source added: "Nothing Amanda does surprises them anymore."
