Highlights

  • Channing Tatum denied running a burner Instagram account after fans linked him to it as its sole follower.
  • The account had posted snarky comments about ex Zoë Kravitz and her new fiancé, Harry Styles, online.
  • Tatum called the theory “hilarious,” insisting he only operates one account: his verified @channingtatum profile.

Channing Tatum just found out the internet has zero chill — and he’s not here for it.

The actor took to his Instagram Story Monday night to shut down a wild theory that had been building all weekend: that he was secretly running a burner account trashing ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz and her new fiancé, Harry Styles.

The account in question, @bidness_nonya, had been leaving spicy commentary across social media, including one dig aimed straight at the new couple: “Just here for the hate.” Fans connected the dots after noticing Tatum was the account’s lone follower — a detail that sent Reddit’s Fauxmoi forum into a frenzy.

Tatum wasn’t amused. “F***in hilarious,” he wrote, before torching the logic behind the theory himself.

“Wtf come on,” he added, pointing out the obvious flaw everyone conveniently missed: following a secret account kind of defeats the purpose of it being secret.

Then came the mic drop. “I only have one IG account: @channingtatum,” he wrote, shutting the door on further debate.

The timing isn’t exactly convenient. Tatum and Kravitz called off their engagement in 2024 after dating since 2021, and Kravitz has since moved on with Styles, to whom she’s reportedly now engaged. Tatum, meanwhile, is dating model Inka Williams and juggling a packed release slate — his indie film Josephine hits theaters November 20, with Avengers: Doomsday following in December.

As for @bidness_nonya, the account appears to have gone dark since the theory exploded online. Whether it was a rogue fan page, an old Tatum stan account repurposed for chaos, or something messier remains unconfirmed. But one thing is: Tatum wants nothing to do with it.
