The X account known as “Ashley Banks” gained attention for making bold claims about child star Amanda Bynes, Dan Schneider, and John Travolta. The account posted personal content, including a photo of Bynes’ driver’s license, and made several serious accusations about abuse, financial exploitation, and misconduct in the entertainment industry. While the identity behind the account has not been confirmed, it sparked years of online debate. The following tweets highlight the account’s most direct, controversial, and pointed posts.
Ashley Banks Account: Did It Belong to Amanda Bynes?
A now-private X account under the name “Ashley Banks” is rumored to have belonged to Amanda Bynes while she was under conservatorship. The profile used her photo and once posted her driver’s license, claiming: “It is ME!… I refuse to be silenced!”
The account accused unnamed figures of exploiting her talent and stealing millions. Posts also referenced a “boss” allegedly impregnating a 13-year-old, leading many to suspect the target was former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider.
More explosive were tweets accusing her Hairspray co-star John Travolta of sexual misconduct. The account claimed Travolta was “a sexual monster” and compared his alleged behavior to that of Bill Cosby. Journalist Liz Crokin supported these claims, citing previous reports and sources with similar accusations against Travolta.
In 2012, Travolta faced a now-dismissed lawsuit from two masseurs alleging sexual battery. His legal team called the accusations false. Whether the “Ashley Banks” account truly belonged to Bynes remains unconfirmed.
