After “Girls Trip” star Tiffany Haddish blabbed to GQ about an actress who bit Beyoncé, fans have been eagerly speculating about who done it.

The top names that have cropped up include Sanaa Lathan, Jennifer Lawernce and Lena Dunham.

As for Lathan, she went to a Jay-Z concert in New York on Dec. 22. Fans speculated that she could have been the actress who Haddish told GQ in a March profile that was “doing the mostest” and that “she bit Beyoncé in the face” at an after-party. This despite the fact that the concert took place in Inglewood, Calif.

“OMG y’all it definitely was Sanaa Lathan who bit Beyoncé…I heard it before, but it’s coming up again,” one person said. “And she would be a random person to just bring up outta nowhere #WhoBitBeyonce.”

“I’ve been doing my Googles. I think Sanaa bit Beyoncé,” another person said, linking to an article about the actress’ supposed drunken weekend.

However, Haddish recalled Beyoncé saying the biter was “not even drunk. The b—- is on drugs.”

Furthermore, Lathan took to Twitter to deny the accusations.

Yet apparently, that didn’t mean folks let up on Lathan.

Aside from Sanaa, other stars that can be officially ruled out include Taraji P. Henson, who Haddish tweeted Monday, March 26 “No it wasn’t.”

John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen also ruled out actress and GOOP founder Gwyneth Paltrow as the biter, tweeting, “no I love her!”

“90210” actress Sara Foster also denied she was the culprit.

Speculation also turned to Jennifer Lawerence, who is known to embrace embarrassing moments like falling down at the 2013 Oscars.

“I’m not sure who bit Beyoncé but I’m willing to bet a lot of money it was Jennifer Lawrence she be doin’ way too f—in’ much,” one person said.

“Imagine Jennifer Lawrence biting Beyoncé… that b— would…” tweeted another.

Another actress, “Girls” star Lena Dunham, has also been thrown into the mix.

“Can we all just assume Lena Dunham bit Beyoncé, since no one (with common sense) likes her anyway?” someone said.

“I’ll end all the speculation: Lena Dunham definitely bit Beyoncé,” another confidently tweeted.

While Lawrence and Dunham, neither of whom were listed as being at the after part of Jay’s concert, have not publicly commented, Teigen has her own theory — maybe. After several tweets about her theory, the model confesses she definitely knows who the actress is and won’t tell because she is “scared.”

And if anyone expects Haddish to reveal the name of the actress, they shouldn’t look to her video with fellow comedian Chris Spencer for the answer.

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.
