Channing Tatum has shut down a wild internet theory claiming he secretly ran an Instagram account to leave nasty comments about his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz and her new fiancé Harry Styles. The 46-year-old actor posted a clear message on his Instagram Story on September 21, 2026, saying he only has one account and calling the whole situation “hilarious.”
The rumor started over the weekend of September 19 to 21 when fans found an Instagram account called @bidness_nonya that had been posting mean comments about Kravitz, Styles, and even Tatum’s ex-wife Jenna Dewan. People noticed that Tatum appeared to be the account’s only follower, which sparked the theory that he was secretly behind it. The story quickly went viral on X and Reddit, with fans debating whether the actor was trolling his ex.
What Channing Tatum Actually Said
Tatum did not stay quiet for long. On September 21, he posted a statement on his Instagram Story denying any connection to the account. “Yo i truly can’t believe yall think this is what I’m doing with my free time,” he wrote. “F—in hilarious.” He then pointed out the biggest flaw in the theory: “Also why would I follow a burner account if I didn’t want people to connect me to it? Wtf come on.” He ended by saying, “But if I really need to say it, I only have one IG account @channingtatum.”
The statement matched what he had said in other reports, where he questioned why anyone would publicly follow an account they were trying to hide. His message was short and direct, and it made clear he found the whole thing funny rather than upsetting.
How the Burner Account Theory Started
The account @bidness_nonya had been leaving comments on posts about Kravitz and Styles for over a year. One comment read, “Just here for the hate,” under a post about the couple’s public display of affection. Another comment seemed to reference Tatum’s past interviews, saying, “When I see these two I think back at how her former fiancé called her the most intentional person he knows. I wonder how contextual he was being…” The account also posted about Jenna Dewan, claiming his ex-wife “tried to grift his money.”
Fans found the account because it had only one follower: Channing Tatum’s official Instagram profile. That single detail made the theory explode across social media. The account has since been deleted or gone private, and its bio reportedly said “Not @channingtatum” before it disappeared.
Fans Were Split on the Theory
Social media reactions ranged from disbelief to jokes. One fan wrote on X, “There’s no way Channing Tatum is leaving hate comments on Deuxmoi with his burner account only he follows.” Another user joked, “Not ironically I’ve always thought that celebrities had fake accounts to keep up with gossip just like normal people.” A third person pointed out the logic problem: “If you have a burner I don’t get why you’d follow it.”
Not everyone believed the theory from the start. Instagram commentator Stephanie Tleiji (@stephwithdadeets) shared evidence suggesting the account was likely an old Channing Tatum fan page that had changed hands. She explained that Tatum follows many fan pages, some with very few followers, which could explain why he was following it. Her video even got a “like” from Jenna Dewan, Tatum’s ex-wife, according to reports.
The Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum Relationship Timeline
Tatum and Zoë Kravitz first sparked romance rumors in August 2021 when they were seen riding a BMX bike together in New York City. They met while working on the film Blink Twice, which Kravitz directed and Tatum starred in. The couple got engaged in October 2023, but they called off their engagement and split in October 2024 after three years together. A source told PEOPLE at the time that they “realized they’re at different stages in life.”
Kravitz later spoke about the breakup in an interview with Elle in February 2025. “I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much,” she said. “I’m so happy that all happened. I just feel so grateful to go on that journey together.”
Kravitz moved on with Harry Styles in August 2025, and the couple got engaged in April 2026. They shared the news with a small circle of friends and family, and Kravitz was seen wearing a large diamond ring in London.

This is not the first time fans have tried to connect Tatum’s social media activity to his past relationship. After news of Kravitz’s engagement to Styles broke, Tatum shared a portion of a poem by John Roedel on his Instagram Story. The poem talked about the “brain and heart” divorcing and mentioned “a lot of yelling—and crying.” Some fans took it as a sign he was hurting, though he never directly commented on the engagement.
Tatum is currently dating Australian model Inka Williams. The two were first linked in February 2025 and made their relationship Instagram official in April 2025. They have been together for over a year and have been seen together at events like the 2026 Academy Awards.
The burner account drama has now died down since Tatum’s denial, and the account in question is no longer active. His message was clear: he has one Instagram account, and the internet theory was wrong.
