The world needs answers, Tiffany Haddish.
The βGirls Tripβ star opened a Pandoraβs box of pop culture intrigue when she said during an interview with GQ that an unnamed actress had allegedly bitten BeyoncΓ© on the face.
So many questions! First of all, how is anyone even allowed to get close enough to bite Queen Beyβs face?
The whole thing has been burning up the internet and we donβt want you left out of the conversation.
Hereβs what you need to know about the mystery now known as βBite-gate.β
How Haddish says it went down
The actress told GQ she met BeyoncΓ© last December at a party in L.A. that also attended by the superstar singerβs rapper/mogul husband Jay-Z.
According to Haddish, there was an actress at said party who was βdoing the mostest.β
Haddish said she witnessed BeyoncΓ© grab her husband and storm off.
βThey went to the back of the room. I was like, βWhat just happened?,'β Haddish said. βAnd BeyoncΓ©βs friend walked up and was like, βCan you believe this b**ch just bit BeyoncΓ©?β β
Haddish, who refused to name the actress, said she totally had the singerβs back.
βIβm going to beat somebody a** at your party,β Haddish said she told BeyoncΓ©. βI just want to let you know that.β
She said BeyoncΓ© asked her not to and told her to βhave funβ instead.
Later Haddish said the superstar confirmed to her that she had indeed been bitten at which point Haddish once again offered to fight her.
β[Beyonce] was like,βTiffany, no. Donβt do that. That b**ch is on drugs. She not even drunk. The b**ch is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill,'β Haddish said.
Why people believe it
Part of the βevidenceβ that is being cited on social media is a selfie Haddish posted with BeyoncΓ© in which the side of the singerβs face is hidden. Perhaps to hide said bite mark?
The prime βsuspectsβ
Hereβs the part where everyone has turned amateur detective.
On Monday fans tried to piece together the who, where and when.
Vulture published a piece which recalled The Cutβs reporting in February on Haddish sharing a story about the same party in which she said an unnamed actress had gotten all in Jay-Zβs personal space, much to the annoyance of his wife.
The guest list at that party included singer Rihanna and actresses Sara Foster and Sanaa Lathan.
The internet immediately went into overdrive and decided it had to be either Foster or Lathan (βcause Rihanna is β¦ Rihanna).
Foster, who starred on The CW series β90210β had some fun with it, posting an email requesting comment on the story on her Instagram account with the caption, βFlattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to BeyoncΓ©.β
That left βShots Firedβ star Lathan, who on Monday took to Twitter to say βYβall are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it wouldβve been a love bite.β
One person who has apparently been cleared is βEmpireβ star Taraji P. Henson, although itβs not clear whether she was even at the party.
After one person tweeted about a report claiming it was Henson, Haddish tweeted, βNo it wasnβt.β
Who we want to talk to
Model and βLip Sync Battleβ co-host Chrissy Teigen says she may know.
βI cannot leave this planet without knowing who bit Beyonce in the face,β Teigen tweeted on Monday.
She then followed that up with tweets saying βI can only think of one person who would do this. but I cannot say. but sheβ¦.is the worstβ and βUpdate it is NOT the person I think is the worst. IM DONE.β
On Tuesday Teigen tweeted a video, joking that she was headed to βTodayβ to talk about who bit Beyonce.
We need answers Teigen!!!
What Bey and Jay are saying
Absolutely nothing.
Keep in mind this is a couple so private that for years that they wouldnβt even confirm they were a couple.
BeyoncΓ© publicist Yvette Noel-Schure told GQ, βI absolutely cannot comment on any of this, as I have no knowledge.β
What we do know is that the couple are gearing up for their second worldwide concert tour together β βOTR IIβ which kicks off June 6 in the UK.
The backlash
Some fans are not happy that Haddish shared the story.
βThe Last OGβ star responded to the criticism on Tuesday in an Instagram post.
βYβall forgot I am in the hive too [BeyoncΓ©βs fans are known as βThe Bey Hiveβ] and just know this I will always speak my truth,β Haddish wrote. βThatβs not going to stop.β
Haddish added that the singer βkept me from doing something half of you Bees would have done no matter what.β
βTo me she is a Shero and a Great person I have learned so much from her in just a short amount of time,β Haddish said. βSo no matter what she has a Unicorn that has her back.β
