Channing Tatum took to his Instagram Story to forcefully deny running a secret social media burner account that targeted his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz and her fiancé Harry Styles. The actor shut down the online speculation, stating that he only maintains one official Instagram account.
Internet rumors reached a fever pitch after social media users tracked down an anonymous profile under the handle @bidness_nonya. The account had drawn intense scrutiny for leaving pointed comments on posts regarding Zoë Kravitz and pop star Harry Styles. Speculation about the account’s owner exploded across platforms like TikTok and X after observers discovered that Tatum’s verified Instagram profile was the page’s sole follower.
The online sleuthing eventually forced the actor to clear the air directly with his followers. Rather than ignoring the viral whispers, he posted a direct rebuttal on his verified Instagram Story, expressing disbelief that internet sleuths genuinely believed he spent his free time operating a troll account.
The Instagram Rebuttal and the Logic of the Burner Accusations
Tatum dismantled the core premise of the fan theory by questioning its basic logic. If an individual were attempting to operate a secret, anonymous profile to mock public figures without detection, maintaining a connection to a major Hollywood star would defeat the entire purpose of the exercise.
“Yo i truly can’t believe yall think this is what I’m doing with my free time. Fuckin hilarious. Also why would I follow a burner account if I didn’t want people to connect me to it? Wtf come on. But if I really need to say it, I only have one IG account @channingtatum.”

Pop-culture commentators had already begun piecing together alternative explanations for the profile’s existence prior to the actor’s statement. Observers noted that the account had changed handles multiple times and previously functioned as a standard fan page dedicated to the actor, which likely explained why his verified account followed it long before the controversial comments appeared.
Targeted Comments Involving High-Profile Exes
The anonymous profile had actively commented on several high-profile celebrity romance items, drawing direct lines to Tatum’s past relationships. One comment left on a post regarding Kravitz and Styles read, Just here for the hate
. Another comment referenced Tatum’s prior marriage to actress Jenna Dewan, whom he was with from 2009 to 2019, alleging financial disputes and defending Tatum’s personal life.
Other messages left by the account specifically referenced Tatum’s past public statements. In a July 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight referenced by Dailymail, Tatum had praised Kravitz during the production of her directorial debut film, Blink Twice, calling her one of the more intentional people I’ve ever met in my life
. The burner account latched onto that specific quote, arguing that the term implied calculation rather than a compliment.
Timeline of Relationships and Upcoming Industry Projects
The intense public interest stems from a heavily publicized history between the celebrities involved. Tatum and Kravitz began dating in 2021 after working together on Blink Twice, becoming engaged in 2023 before multiple sources confirmed their split in October 2024.
Following the separation, Kravitz was linked to Harry Styles starting in August 2025, with the couple’s engagement coming to light in April 2026. While internet drama swirls around social media commentary, all parties remain busy with upcoming professional commitments.
