Cinema VinesChanning Tatum finally put the speculation to rest after a weekend of social‑media frenzy that claimed the actor was running a deleted Instagram account that posted hateful comments about his former fiancée, Zoe Kravitz, and her current partner, Harry Styles. The rumors began when a private profile called @bidness_nonya, which had only Tatum’s own account as a follower, was discovered to be following the actor. The account, which had no original posts and used a butterfly as its profile picture, was said to have made a string of inflammatory remarks about Tatum and Kravitz, labeling her a “former fiancé” and “the most intentional person he knows.” Screenshots of the comments spread rapidly, prompting fans to wonder whether the page was a private account operated by the actor himself.
On Monday, Tatum addressed the controversy on his official Instagram account, posting a short note in his Stories. He did not name the disputed account, but he made it clear that it was not his. “Yo, I truly can’t believe you all think this is what I’m doing with my free time. Fu**in hilarious. Also, why would I follow a burner account if I didn’t want people to connect me to it? WTF Come on,” he wrote. He added, “But if I really need to say it, I only have one IG account @channingtatum.” The actor had already unfollowed the profile and the page was deleted shortly thereafter.
The drama comes at a time when Tatum has been in the spotlight for other reasons. He and Kravitz, who first met while working on her directorial debut “Blink Twice,” dated from 2021 until 2024 and were briefly engaged in October 2023. The pair’s split has drawn public attention, and Kravitz has since been linked to pop star Harry Styles, with rumours of a relationship surfacing in 2025 and an engagement reported in 2026. Tatum’s brief clarification was intended to reassure fans that he has no involvement in the alleged burner account and that his online presence is limited to his single official profile.
Entertainment journalist Abhimanyu Mathur, Deputy Editor of Entertainment at the Hindustan Times, reported on the incident, noting that the actor’s response came after the account’s deletion and the widespread circulation of screenshots. The episode highlights how quickly social media can amplify unfounded claims and the importance of verified sources when it comes to celebrity gossip.
