Channing Tatum wants everyone to know he is not spending his free time running a secret Instagram account to throw shade at his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz and her new fiancé Harry Styles. The rumor took off over the weekend after fans noticed that a mysterious account, @bidness_nonya, had exactly one follower: Channing Tatum. The account had reportedly left comments on Kravitz and Styles content, including the now-infamous“just here for the hate,”and the internet ran with it.
On Monday, September 21, Tatum addressed the speculation head-on in an Instagram Story, calling the rumors“hilarious”and making it clear he is not that invested in internet drama. He also confirmed he has only one Instagram account. Pop culture commentator Stephanie Tleiji backed him up, pointing out that the account referenced a June birthday while Tatum’s birthday is in April, which strongly suggests the whole thing was a fan profile rather than the actor himself. The account has since been deactivated.
So the mystery appears solved: one passionate fan, one very curious follow, and one viral theory that got debunked in about 48 hours. Tatum is reportedly linked to model Inka Williams these days, while Kravitz and Styles are busy being Hollywood’s newest engaged couple. Do you think celebrities should even respond to rumors like this, or should they just let the internet tire itself out?
