‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Star Channing Tatum Breaks His Silence After Fans Expose His Alleged Secret Account Trashing Ex Zoë Kravitz
Celebrity breakups rarely stay simple, especially when social media detectives get involved. The internet has developed an almost forensic obsession with tracking anonymous accounts back to famous exes, turning follower lists and comment histories into evidence in cases that play out entirely in public.
That exact scenario unfolded over the weekend involving Channing Tatum and his former fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, whose relationship ended a few years back but whose fandom apparently hasn’t fully moved on. What started as a viral theory on social media quickly snowballed into something the actor felt he had to address directly.
According to TMZ, Tatum has now denied running a burner Instagram account that had been posting hostile comments about Kravitz and her current fiancé, Harry Styles. The account in question, known by the handle @bidness_nonya, had been leaving snarky remarks on posts involving the couple, fueling speculation that Tatum himself was behind it.
The theory gained traction after online sleuths noticed the account followed Tatum, and that its early following list overlapped suspiciously with people in his real-life circle. The account had left comments like “Just here for the hate” under a post highlighting a public display of affection between Kravitz and Styles, and it reportedly took shots at other celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez.
Once the speculation reached a fever pitch on platforms like TikTok and X, the account in question went dark, seemingly deleted altogether. That timing only added fuel to the fire for fans convinced they’d cracked the case.
Rather than staying silent, Tatum took to his own Instagram Story on Monday, September 21, to firmly shut the theory down. “Yo, I truly can’t believe y’all think this is what I’m doing with my free time,” he wrote on Instagram. “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.”
His logic hinges on a fairly reasonable point: publicly following a burner account, rather than keeping the connection hidden, would be an unusually careless move for anyone actually trying to stay anonymous. An industry insider also reportedly dismissed the entire theory as “completely fabricated internet nonsense,” insisting Tatum has been focused on film production rather than trolling exes online.
Tatum and Kravitz’s romance previously drew plenty of headlines, including moments where the two publicly bantered about each other’s fashion choices in interviews, and Tatum once admitted to following Kravitz-dedicated fan accounts early in their relationship, joking that he had “no chill” when it came to keeping tabs on her online presence. That history may be part of why fans were so quick to connect him to this latest online drama, even without concrete proof.
For now, there’s no independent confirmation tying Tatum to the account beyond the circumstantial details fans pieced together, and his public denial appears to be where the story currently stands. Whether the internet accepts his explanation or keeps digging for more clues remains to be seen, but for now, the ‘Magic Mike’ star seems eager to move past the speculation entirely.
