Who bit Beyoncé?

Fans and celebrities alike are weighing in on the scandal after comedian Tiffany Haddish revealed that an unidentified actress bit the pop star's face at an event last December.

Sanaa Lanath and Sarah Foster are among the most popular suspects amid the widespread speculation, but both women have issued denials that they would never do such a thing.

The party in question appears to have taken place after JAY-Z's concert in Inglewood, Calif. on Dec. 21, as Haddish shared Instagram selfies with the rapper and Beyoncé and wrote that she was at his show that night.

Haddish previously teased during a TV special that some drama involving Beyoncé and JAY-Z at ensured at that afterparty, though she did not mention the bite at the time. Lathan, Foster, Queen Latifah and Rihanna were among the stars who attended that party, The Cut reported in February.

But Lathan and Foster were both steadfast that it wasn't them.

"Y'all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would've been a love bite," Lathan wrote.

Foster, meanwhile, shot down speculation it was her by sharing a screengrab of an email that a reporter sent, presumably to her publicist, seeking comment.

"Flattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to Beyoncé," Foster captioned the screengrab in a post to Instagram.

Haddish herself, meanwhile, tweeted that the alleged biter was not Taraji P. Henson amid speculation suggesting as much.

Haddish sparked the social media firestorm when she told the Beyoncé biting story in a GQ profile that was published Monday.

"So Beyoncé stormed away," Haddish told the magazine, "went up to Jay-Z, and was like, 'Jay! Come here! This b---h-' 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---h just bit Beyoncé?'"

Haddish, 38, noted that the same actress gave her a hard time about dancing during the party as well, and says Beyoncé told her later that night that the accused biter was on drugs.

A rep for Beyoncé, meanwhile, told GQ that she had "no knowledge" of the incident taking place and chose not to comment.

Supermodel Chrissy Teigen, who is friends with Beyoncé, was quick to join in on the speculation, and while she never revealed her initial guess, she tweetedshe was surprised to learn who really did it.

"I AM NEVER TELLING I'm scared I've said too much KNOWLEDGE IS A CURSE!" Teigen wrote.

She did, however, make it clear that it wasn't Gwenyth Paltrow, which one fan speculated.

"No I love her!" Teigen tweeted.

Beyoncé and JAY-Z, meanwhile, have not publicly commented on the scandal.
