Truth about Channing Tatum ‘burner account’ used to troll his famous exes

| Assistant Entertainment Editor Published September 21, 2026 11:26am Updated September 21, 2026 11:42am The internet felt very sure they found Channing Tatum’s ‘burner account’ (Picture: Shutterstock/Metro The internet loves nothing more than celebrities acting messy and petty, and for a brief, hilarious moment, Channing Tatum appeared to be delivering exactly that. A mysterious Instagram user has sent social media sleuths into overdrive after repeatedly popping up beneath posts about Zoe Kravitz and her new fiancé Harry Styles. The brilliantly named ‘Nonya Bidness’ account had been leaving comments on posts about Zoe, 37, and Harry, 32, shared by celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi – and appeared to have rather strong feelings about Channing’s former fiancée. Under one post criticizing the couple, the mystery user reportedly wrote: ‘Just here for the hate,’ accompanied by laughing and popcorn emojis. Elsewhere, they offered an impressively detailed analysis of Channing and Zoe’s former relationship, recalling how the actor had once described his then-fiancée as ‘the most intentional person’ he knew. The user wrote: ‘I wonder how contextual he was being… To me intentional = calculated.’ One of the most viral comments shows the mystery user wondering if Zoe Kravitz is ‘calculated’ (Picture: Reddit) The actor was previously the only person to follow the account (Picture: Reddit) The burner account also made comments about Channing’s ex wife Jenna (Picture: Reddit) The anonymous user commented a pointed remark under a post about Harry Styles and Zoe (Picture: Reddit) Channing and Zoe were together from 2021 to 2024, getting engaged in 2023 (Picture: Dave Benett/WireImage) They then contrasted Zoe’s very public romance with Harry with her relationship with Channing, adding that the former couple had been heard about ‘long before they were seen together’ and were photographed far less frequently. And apparently the mystery commentator’s Channing Tatum expertise did not end with Zoe. Another remark referenced his ex-wife Jenna Dewan, claiming: ‘His ex-wife tried to grift his money. Zoe knew she was too much of a free bird to settle down… Let that man sow his wild oats in peace.’ Frankly, everyone deserves somebody willing to defend their right to sow wild oats this passionately in an Instagram comment section. Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum were together for about 12 years, from 2006 to 2018 (Picture: Joe Maher/FilmMagic) Fans soon began theorising that the oddly Channing-literate commenter was the actor himself, secretly lurking behind a burner account to watch his ex’s new romance unfold. Things got even more curious when eagle-eyed followers noticed Channing and Nonya Bidness appeared to follow one another. Then, after speculation about the account began spreading, Channing and Nonya Bidness reportedly unfollowed each other. Hours later, the account vanished altogether. Despite the timing providing ample fuel for amateur Instagram detectives, Metro understands Nonya Bidness is not Channing, nor is the profile associated with him in any way. The anonymous account seemed to be particularly focused on posts about Harry and Zoe (Picture: XNY/Star Max/GC Images) It is also understood not to belong to a family member or friend, meaning the person passionately defending Channing’s wild-oat-sowing rights remains a mystery. Channing and Zoe began dating in 2021 after meeting through her directorial debut Blink Twice and became engaged in October 2023. Their relationship ended around a year later, before Zoe was linked to former One Direction star Harry in August 2025. The pair’s whirlwind relationship has since moved quickly, with Harry and Zoe reportedly becoming engaged in April. As for the identity of Nonya Bidness, it appears the internet’s most entertaining explanation has been ruled out. Which means, rather fittingly, who was actually behind it remains… nonya bidness.
