Amanda Bynes on Asking Drake to 'Murder' Her Vagina: 'I Was Serious, But I Was Also on Drugs'

Amanda Bynes spoke candidly about the infamous 2013 Drake vagina murder tweet in a new interview.

Amanda Bynes kept it candid for her first interview in years. Speaking with Diana Madison on the Lowdown Friday, Bynes let fans in on her plans to return to acting and her ongoing studies at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). Bynes also clarified her infamous 2013 tweet about wanting Drake to "murder my vagina."

Bynes said the tweet, though sincere, was penned while under the influence. "I actually wasn't being insincere," Bynes said. "I was, like, saying 'Murder my vagina.' I was serious, but I was also on drugs. So that was my way of saying, like, 'Let's do it, man!' But I was, like, on drugs and trying to be hilarious." Bynes added that she's been sober for three years.

As for what "murder my vagina" meant, Bynes clarified that it was just another way of saying "fuck me, Drake."

Though Bynes is currently busy with FIDM studies, she revealed during Friday's interview that she's planning to slowly return to acting soon. "I'm going to start acting again," she said. "I want to do TV, maybe a few guest spots on some shows that I'm a fan of, and maybe another TV show where I'm the star of it in the future."

Bynes previously announced her retirement from acting back in 2010. "Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem," she said at the time. "If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it."

Bynes' most recent acting appearance was in the 2010 film Easy A, starring Emma Stone.
