Channing Tatum finally addresses wild Instagram burner account rumours
Channing Tatum has finally addressed wild rumours that he was secretly running an Instagram burner account and using it to leave critical comments on posts about his exes Zoë Kravitz and Jenna Dewan.
Taking to his official Instagram account on Tuesday, the Step Up star confirmed what many fans already suspected: he has nothing to do with the now-deleted burner account called ‘Nonya Bidness’.

“Yo, I truly can’t believe y’all think this is what I’m doing with my free time,” he wrote over a black background.
“F--kin 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.”
Rumours started swirling that Tatum, 46, was behind the Nonya Bidness account late last week when fans noticed it praising Tatum and leaving snarky comments on posts about Kravitz, Dewan and other stars.
In one comment, the account claimed that Dewan “tried to grift [Tatum’s] money” when they divorced in 2019.
It also alleged Kravitz “knew she was too much of a free bird to settle down” with Tatum, seemingly a dig at her breaking off their engagement.
He and Kravitz dated from 2021 to 2024 and were engaged for about a year. She later moved on with Harry Styles, to whom she is reportedly engaged.
On another post about Kravitz and Styles, the Nonya Bidness account left a comment which read “Just here for the hate.”

Eagle-eyed Instagram users started to suspect Tatum was secretly behind the account when they realised it only had one follower; Tatum himself.
Of course, there were plenty of sceptics who pointed out that if Tatum was going to run a secret hate account targeting his exes, it would be pretty stupid to follow it himself.
Now he’s proven them correct with the statement from his official, and only, Instagram account.
Tatum met Dewan on the set of Step Up in 2006, they were married in 2009, and welcomed a daughter in 2013.

The couple separated in 2018 and Dewan filed for divorce soon after.
Tatum went on to date British singer Jessie J from 2018 until 2020, followed by Kravitz from 2021 to 2024, and is now in a relationship with model Inka Williams.
