Though Chrissy Teigen and Tiffany Haddish remain tight-lipped about revealing the identity of the actress who allegedly sunk her teeth into Queen Bey at JAY-Z‘s December concert afterparty in Los Angeles, a new report claims the unnamed celebrity is Love & Basketball star Sanaa Lathan.
“It was not an aggressive bite. It was playful and noninvasive but still caught Beyoncé off guard,” according to TMZ sources on Tuesday.
As the dust has begun to settle on one of the web’s most bizarre cases in modern pop culture, the actress is grateful she’s not a Hollywood newcomer.
“Thank God I’ve been in this business for 20 years and have had so many rumours about me,” Lathan added. “They used to devastate me in my 20s, but in order to survive in this business, you just have to let it roll. I adore Beyoncé. I would never do anything malicious like that—to her, or to anyone.”
Perhaps its because of situations like this one that Lathan finds it helpful to sometimes cut out social media altogether.
“You know what is a real happiness killer? Social media. I don’t think it’s healthy for humans to constantly compare themselves. By nature, even if you see someone who you adore and they’re in Fiji, automatically you go, ‘Well, damn, I’m here.’ I think the key to happiness is keeping your eyes on your path. Rarely are you going on [social media] and [thinking], ‘Ooh, I’m happy!’ It’s always a shift toward a darker emotion. So I have to take social media breaks.”
