Channing Tatum is debunking a viral theory circulating online about his Instagram activity. Some fans became convinced that the actor was secretly running a burner account and using it to comment on celebrity news posts. Tatum has now addressed the speculation, making it clear that he finds the idea of spending his free time on online trolling hard to believe.

Channing Tatum Shuts Down Instagram Burner Account Rumor

Over the weekend of September 19 to 20, the Instagram account Nonya Bidness (@bidness_nonya) went viral after social media sleuths saw the user leave comments on celebrity news pages about Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles.

Further inspection of the account revealed that Nonya Bidness only had one follower, Channing Tatum, which led many to believe it was the actor’s burner account. Screenshots of the account and its comments went viral, prompting Tatum to address the situation.

On September 21, the actor took to Instagram Stories to shut down the rumors.

“Yo i truly can’t believe yall think this is what I’m doing with my free time. F-ckin hilarious,” Tatum wrote, questioning why he would follow his own burner account if he wanted to remain anonymous.

“Wtf come on. But if I really need to say it, I only have one IG account @channingtatum,” he concluded.

The Account Commented On A Few Posts About Zoe Kravitz

Tatum and Kravitz began dating sometime in 2021 and were engaged by October 2023. The following year, however, the couple called off their engagement and went their separate ways. Kravitz is now engaged to Harry Styles.

One of Nonya Bidness’ comments read, “Just here for the hate,” under Deuxmoi’s post about Kravitz and Styles. Another comment threw shade at Tatum’s exes: “His ex-wife tried to grift his money, Zoe knew she was too much of a free bird to settle down…”

On posts about Tatum, however, Nonya Bidness was all praise. “He’s so genuine. No false pretenses with this guy. And funny as hell, too,” the user commented on one account highlighting an interview with the actor.

• Channing Tatum made a cryptic post amid Zoe Kravitz’s engagement buzz.
• The actor’s divorce settlement with Jenna Dewan includes a retirement fund.
• Sources revealed what ended the actor’s relationship with Zoe Kravitz.
• Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are reportedly returning for “24 Jump Street.”
• Sandra Bullock roasted Channing Tatum on her Instagram debut.
• The actor opened up about his tough time recovering from a shoulder injury.

Not All Channing Tatum Fans Were Convinced He Had A Burner Account

While some were convinced they had found Tatum’s burner account, others weren’t so sure and dug further using open-source intelligence and internet archives.

One reddit user posted “evidence” proving it was not the actor’s secret profile. The research showed the Nonya Bidness account was previously a Channing Tatum fan account, which the actor may have followed years prior.

“It is likely that a Channing Tatum fan page MAINTAINED the account and changed its purpose. Going private and deleting all followers except for Channing’s,” the reddit user wrote.

Furthermore, one fan who was convinced Nonya Bidness was Tatum commented, “so real channing pls accept my follow request,” to which the user replied, “I’m not him, boo, go read a book.”

The user behind Nonya Bidness has since deactivated the Instagram account.

The Actor’s Name And Likeness Have Been Used In Romance Scams

Several celebrities have been used for online romance scams, including Tatum. Over the years, law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission have issued public warnings against online romance cons that impersonate celebrities to extort money.

Such was the case in 2025, when a woman lost $850,000 after genuinely believing she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt, as reported by The Blast.

Tatum is one of the celebrities often used in these scams. One fan said she began receiving private messages from someone posing as the actor after commenting on Tatum’s Instagram photos. Another shared that his sister was chatting to a person calling himself Channing Tatum on Google Hangouts.

As the actor said, he isn’t using his free time to leave comments online with a burner account.

Tatum already has plenty keeping him busy professionally, with several film projects in various stages of development and production.

The actor is producing and starring in the Amazon MGM Studios film “Isle of Man” and will also appear in “Josephine” and “Avengers: Doomsday,” both scheduled to premiere in late 2026. He is also working on the third installment of “21 Jump Street” alongside Jonah Hill.
