Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Tanya, trending report. Sisney, let's hone in on this.
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So the internet is convinced that Channing Tatum has a
burner Instagram, okay? So fans found an account called Bidness
Nunya that reportedly has just one follower, and that one
follower is... Channing Tatum himself.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, then none of your business would have been Channing Tatum.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well, so the account was leaving comments on posts about
his ex Zoe Kravitz and fiance Harry Styles. One comment
was on a PDA photo of the two of them.
It said, just here for the hate. Another said that
when they see Zoe and Harry, they think back to
how her former fiance called her the most intentional person
he knows. So nothing has been confirmed. Obviously, there's been

(00:44):
no word from Channing or his team. Some people think
that it could be a friend or a family member,
not necessarily Channing himself. But the account is now reportedly
gone or locked down. And so how did they figure
it out?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
So how did he get caught?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Because I'm just I'm walking this through myself and I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
But if you were to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Then is it because only one other person followed the
none your business guy?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I think that's why people thought it was him because
it was only followed. It had, they kind of had.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
One five word and it was Channing Tatum. But why
follow it? Why not just be none of your business? Exactly.
Why would he follow it?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
That is like the one rule. If you're going to
have a burner account, do not follow your burner account.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
As your real name.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
See, this is why I wouldn't do it. Cause I
probably would have done the same thing. On air with
Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
