Tiffany, who stars in Girls Trip, said she met Beyonce at a party in December last year.
"There was this actress there that's just, like, doing the mostest," she told GQ, external.
"She bit Beyonce in the face... So Beyonce stormed away, went up to Jay Z, and was like, 'Jay! Come here!' - and snatched him.
"They went to the back of the room. I was like, 'What just happened?'"

The party took place after a Jay Z show on 22 December in Inglewood, California, according to Tiffany.
That bit of information led to The Cut drawing up a shortlist of potential suspects based on who they say was there.
Rihanna, James Franco, French Montana and Diddy were all supposedly there - and were all written off as innocent by the magazine.
Tiffany said the culprit was an actress, leading to former 90210 star Sara Foster being mentioned.
Sara made it pretty clear it wasn't her.
