Raquel Lee Bolleau alleges Amanda Bynes spit on her face
Racquel Lee Bolleau revealed in a shocking confession that her The Amanda Show co-star, Amanda Bynes, spit on her face. In a TikTok video posted on Sunday, September 28, the former actress talked about the alleged spitting scene.
Lee Bolleau revealed the scene required her to tell Bynes to “spit it out,” a form of expression meaning to say something clearly. However, the latter took the words literally and allegedly spat in Lee Bolleau’s and another co-star’s face.
“We were actually running the scene and I said, ‘spit it out.’ She spit it directly in my face. That was the first time,” Lee Bolleau recalled in the TikTok video (via Complex).
Furthermore, The Proud Family actress revealed she “tried to keep it cool” and pretend everything was okay to avoid disrupting the filming schedule. However, Bynes continued spitting in her face.
Lee Bolleau explained that perhaps this was amusing and “hilarious” to Bynes and the crew as well. However, Lee Bolleau wasn’t pleased as she had to get her hair and makeup redone repeatedly due to the constant spitting.
After a point, the director of the show stepped in and categorically told Bynes not to spit in her co-star’s face. However, the Grow House star had enough of Bynes’ behavior and felt a whirlwind of emotions toward her co-star. The former actress confessed it wasn’t easy to keep her composure and dignity on set, and she “almost lost it.” She said, “I was angry, I was frustrated, I was sad, I wanted to cry.”
Lee Bolleau ended the TikTok note on a reflective mode, revealing it wasn’t easy surviving in the industry and that she developed a “thick skin” due to such incidents.
