Amanda Bynes' rumoured boyfriend "is not gay".

Subsequently, Amanda, 28, took to criticising him on Twitter and accused him of being gay - a claim she has now retracted.

She wrote: "Caleb is not gay we had sex (sic).

"He did talk about being gay but we had sex so he obviously is not."

The 'Easy A' star also explained that she's chosen to speak about their relationship because she was unable to contact Caleb directly.

She said: "a friend of mine stole my chanel hand bag that had my iPhone in it and I lost caleb's contact information so I wanted to apoligize to him publicly because he is my favorite person in the world. (sic)"

Earlier this month, Amanda was recorded on tape by one of her room-mates saying she dreams of murdering her dad, slitting her mother's wrist and then burning down their house.

However, she subsequently insisted she was just "joking" when she made the threats.
