‘F***in hilarious’: Channing Tatum denies running secret IG account that trolled ex Zoë Kravitz

Last weekend, the internet found itself fixated on a peculiar celebrity mystery. An anonymous Instagram account, @bidness_nonya – also known as "Nonya Bidness" by its supporters – posted snarky remarks about Zoë Kravitz and her fiancé, Harry Styles. Fans of celebrity gossip quickly noticed an odd detail: the account had just one follower, and that follower was Channing Tatum.

With Tatum and Kravitz having dated from 2021, gotten engaged in 2023, and subsequently broken up, many jumped to the conclusion that Tatum was covertly trolling his ex from behind the scenes. The theory quickly gained traction on X, as well as on gossip hubs across Reddit and Instagram.

Several netizens pointed out that the account was once a Channing Tatum fan page, which Tatum might have followed in the past before it went private, changed its focus, and lost all but one follower – him. Shortly after the controversy went viral, Tatum reportedly unfollowed the account; the account reciprocated the unfollow, and then disappeared.

On Monday, Tatum tackled the theory head-on via his Instagram Story. He wrote: "Yo, I truly can’t believe y'all think this is what I'm doing with my free time. F***in 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."

This statement has continued to circulate through entertainment outlets, with Tatum's denial being presented as the final word on the matter. At the time of publishing, there has been no additional comment from Kravitz or Styles' teams.
