Everyone calm down, Sanaa Lathan did not bite Beyoncé.

The actress took to Twitter to defend her name after social media investigators concluded Lathan may have been the woman who bit Queen Bey at a New York party in December.

The denial comes after Tiffany Haddish spilled the beans to GQ that she witnessed an actress bite the singer “in the face.” Using clues from Haddish’s interview, Twitter detectives pointed out that Lathan, at the very least, was a suspect in the case.

“Y’all are funny,” Lathan tweeted Monday. “Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would’ve been a love bite.”

Sara Foster, another suspect, also denied biting Bey, sharing on Instagram, “Flattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to Beyoncé.”

Still, both women have already felt the wrath of the BeyHive. The comments under both Foster and Lathan’s recent photos are full of bees. 

Chrissy Teigen has also hinted that she knows the real identity of the biter, but she isn’t spilling. 

Guess this is one mystery that will never be solved.
