“Don’t listen to the haters. Do you. Do what makes you happy,” one wrote in a form of support for the starlet.
“[It’s] obvious she needs help. These posts are odd! The ring is 100% fake! He’s someone who’s moving in at her weak moment obviously! Someone needs to intervene and fast!” another added, pointing out that Bynes’ behavior is raising a lot of questions.
“Shoes are too clean for that,” a third wrote noting her “hoodrat” comment standing in contrast to her shoes.
Bynes’ fiance was revealed as Paul Michael in a photo shared the day after the engagement was made public. While details are sparse about the new man in Bynes’ life, she reportedly met him at AA and has been dating him for several months according to The Blast.
