She’s also a 2018 _TIME_ 100 honoree who took time during our interview with her to give us an exclusive update on the most pressing question in pop culture this year: who bit Beyoncé’s face? For the uninformed, Haddish made headlines when she not only scored a rare selfie with Queen Bey herself, but subsequently revealed in a series of interviews that she got the selfie because Beyoncé was trying to prevent her from fighting a mysterious actress who had [the audacity to bite Beyoncé’s face](http://time.com/5215402/tiffany-haddish-actress-bit-beyonce-face/) (and to tell Haddish to stop dancing.) Haddish’s admissions about the biter seemingly inspired [a verse about an NDA](http://time.com/5183135/beyonce-top-off-lyrics-references/) by Beyoncé on the song “Top Off” and [sent the Bey Hive and greater Internet into a frenzy](http://time.com/5216849/who-bit-beyonce-face-internet-chrissy-teigen-search-for-actress/) looking for the culprit, but Haddish has remained fairly mum on the subject since — that is, until now. During an interview with _TIME_, Haddish talks about who bit Beyoncé and how when it comes to this party tale, she’s all about the facts. Watch Haddish talk to TIME about who bit Beyoncé’s face in the video above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5243906/tiffany-haddish-who-bit-beyonce-time-100/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5243906/tiffany-haddish-who-bit-beyonce-time-100/"},"headline":"So Who Bit Beyoncé?: Tiffany Haddish on 2018's Most Pressing Pop Culture Question","datePublished":"2018-04-19T11:00:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:15.553Z","description":"The funnywoman opens up in a video interview","url":"https://time.com/5243906/tiffany-haddish-who-bit-beyonce-time-100/","keywords":["Newsfeed","2018 Time 100"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd749d129122f6da1/69892dc1fb4eac59f389659f/time-100-tiffany-haddish.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd749d129122f6da1/69892dc1fb4eac59f389659f/time-100-tiffany-haddish.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Time 100 2018: Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish","caption":"Girls Trip star Tiffany Haddish stands for a portrait for TIME Magazine","creditText":"Peter Hapak for TIME","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5243906/tiffany-haddish-who-bit-beyonce-time-100/","name":"So Who Bit Beyoncé?: Tiffany Haddish on 2018's Most Pressing Pop Culture Question"}}]}] ```
