Tiffany Haddish just can’t keep her mouth shut. After agreeing to sign a non-disclosure agreement for blabbing about Beyoncé’s reaction when an actress grazed Jay-Z’s chest, she’s sharing another story about the singer.
In a new interview with GQ, Haddish claims an actress whom she refused to name had a bizarre encounter with the “Flawless” performer at a party in December.
“There was this actress there,” Haddish said in a low voice, “that’s just, like, doing the mostest. She bit Beyoncé in the face.”
“So Beyoncé stormed away,” Haddish continued, “went up to Jay-Z, and was like, ‘Jay! Come here! This b—- —’ and snatched him. They went to the back of the room. I was like, ‘What just happened?’ And Beyoncé’s friend walked up and was like, ‘Can you believe this b—- just bit Beyoncé?’”
The actress crossed Haddish’s path throughout the night, even telling her at one point to stop dancing. Later on, the “Girls Trip” star ran into Beyoncé again.
“Near the end of the party, Beyoncé’s at the bar, so I said to Beyoncé, ‘Did she really bite you?’” Haddish said. “She was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was like, ‘She gonna get her ass beat tonight.’ She was like, ‘Tiffany, no. Don’t do that. That b—- is on drugs. She not even drunk. The b—- is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’”
Bey’s rep told GQ she “absolutely cannot comment on any of this, as I have no knowledge.” Meanwhile, many people are dissing Haddish for once again chatting about one of the most notoriously private celebrities.
“She about to get blackballed,”someone tweeted. “Grand opening, GRAND CLOSING 🔥🔥🔥 I hope @TiffanyHaddish saved that money she made, it was a decent run.”
“Tiffany Haddish needs to stop talking about Beyoncé in her interviews,” another simply stated.
“Tiffany Haddish about to end up in a ditch if she keep spilling Beyoncé tea,” someone said. “ANYWAY, so WHO bit Beyoncé in the face???”
And since the interview was completed back in January — before Haddish said she’d be willing to sign an NDA after talking about Bey — it seems Haddish can now at least acknowledge she shouldn’t spill the tea about others.
“I don’t even know these kids but I Love this,” she wrote in the caption of a March 18 pseudo-infomercial about minding your own business. “From the mouth of Babes truth. I hope you take it to heart. #truetalent #weready#tellthetruth #sheready #mosdefkids #theyknowbetter.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
