\n\tWhile the city of Paris is juggling the noise, attention, and celebrity arrivals of Fashion Week, one of the biggest stories on the internet happened far away from any official runways.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tHeated Rivalry star Connor Storrie<\/a> has been one of the most anticipated guests at the fashion presentations, with fans and paparazzi lining up for hours in the Parisian heat for a glimpse at the beloved newcomer. But when Storrie departed his hotel on Tuesday to attend the Saint Laurent Men\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2027 show, the power of stan culture erupted into surprising violence. And one woman at the center of the drama? A 59-year-old writer and professional stan named Simone Cromer, better known online for her now-viral handle, Club Chalamet.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tCromer, a longtime fan of Dune and Marty Supreme star Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a>, started her Chalamet-focused fan account in 2018. But in 2023,\u00a0when Chalamet began dating Kylie Jenner, Cromer became a polarizing figure<\/a> in online spaces. After the couple made their first public appearance, Cromer hosted a TwitterSpaces for close to an hour, claiming the relationship was a fraud, that Jenner was emotionally and intelligently beneath Chalamet, and sightings of the two were causing Chalamet fans intense emotional distress. It gave her public platform, taking her from around 3,000 followers to over 40,000\u00a0\u2014 even nabbing her a Wall Street Journal<\/a> profile in 2025. But Cromer also took heat from other fans, who accused her of instability, obsession, and dangerous behavior \u2014\u00a0claims she continues to categorically deny. (Cromer did not respond to Rolling Stone\u2019s request for comment).\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tWhile photos and videos of Storrie smoking clove cigarettes and smizing front-row next to Madonna, Charli xcx, and Debi Mazar were circulating Tuesday afternoon, users on X (formerly Twitter) were more interested in the news that Cromer and another Storrie had fan had gotten into a heated altercation outside the actor\u2019s hotel. Storrie stan @mikadontyoudare appeared to live-tweet much of the interaction on X. \u201cFck. clubchalamet is here. Tf do i do,\u201d they wrote, minutes later adding, \u201cSo um, just had a fight with club chalamet.\u201d (The owner of the fan account has not been identified, but public profiles show they use they\/them pronouns). They did not respond to Rolling Stone\u2019s requests for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n \n\tIn an interview with journalist and Discourted writer Louis Pisano<\/a>, the fan said that they were aware of Cromer prior to the interaction, calling her \u201cwell-known in fan spaces, especially because she\u2019s a danger and a security risk to the celebrities she targets.\u201d According to the fan, they noticed Cromer while waiting outside of Storrie\u2019s hotel and became concerned for the actor\u2019s safety. When Storrie exited the hotel, they claimed Cromer raced toward him. When the fan confronted Cromer, a verbal and physical altercation ensued.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSomething in my head panicked,\u201d the fan told Pisano. \u201cOh, she\u2019s gonna do something now. She had been doing nothing all day, but maybe she had been biding her time and now was her moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tCromer confirmed the fight <\/a>in her own post on X, but claimed that she was assaulted without provocation. (Cromer used she\/her pronouns for the fan). \u201cAs I recall, I was moving along with everyone else and trying to maintain whatever visual advantage I could muster, as was everyone else. Next thing I feel, is someone grabbing my backpack with such force that I almost lost my footing,\u201d Cromer wrote in an extended post. \u201cShe glared at me and said, \u201cI know who you are. I know who you are, bitch. You bitch!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCromer wrote that she attempted to avoid the fan but was pushed into her path again by the crowd surge when Storrie emerged. \u201cAs people were pushing trying to get pics and video, I was pushed up against her as I was also desperately trying to get out of there. But she went feral and pushed back at me and we had an embarrassing brief scuffle,\u201d she added. \u201cIt was humiliating.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n \n\tVery few things besides Cromer\u2019s age and public persona separate her from the average fan account owner. She may have a uniquely prolific pen \u2014 the phrase \u201cI took her Manson family recruitment photo, then, I promptly called her the c word,\u201d which she posted on Tuesday, seems particularly built for virality \u2014\u00a0but most of her content follows the traditional track for stans; commenting on her favorite actors\u2019 dating habits, photo shoots, press, outfits, personal lives, and marketing strategies. Nevertheless, online, she\u2019s developed a persona as something close to a fandom<\/a> bogeyman, less for her actions and more from the potential of what fans believe she could be capable of.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThis reputation is inextricably linked to Cromer\u2019s publicly documented switches in fandom allegiances. Prior to running her Chalamet fan account, Cromer was an active stan of X-Men actor Michael Fassbender. Many of her detractors have noted that her dedicated focus on actors often changes when they are publicly linked with women she doesn\u2019t like. Her departure from the Fassbender fandom coincided with the actor\u2019s 2017 marriage to Alicia Vikander, and her public \u201cstep back\u201d from the Chalamet fandom occurred after months of covering his award show attendances with Jenner.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tEven with Cromer and the fan\u2019s conflicting accounts, it\u2019s impossible to ignore that both of the people involved in the fight were in a situation that the average person \u2014\u00a0someone not interested in the intricacies of fandom \u2014 might consider unsafe behavior. The situation is ripe for internet attention because it was a confluence of two things that should never meet: emotions cultivated in the vacuum of online spaces and real-life opportunity. Fandom thrives on strong emotion. And in the world of fan accounts, where enthusiasts follow a person\u2019s every move, anything can feel like a life or death threat: a poor review, a doomed relationship, or new attention on an actor you feel like you have ownership over.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tBut what\u2019s perhaps most ironic is that if the plan was to keep Cromer away from Storrie \u2014\u00a0or at least out of spaces his fandom is claiming as their own \u2014\u00a0the fight had the exact opposite effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201c[The other fan] targeted me and harassed and assaulted me, but I\u2019m fine,\u201d Cromer wrote on Instagram. \u201cI won\u2019t let this deter me from supporting Connor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the city of Paris is juggling the noise, attention, and celebrity arrivals of Fashion Week, one of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,141452,18,117,31516,19,17,32784,127210],"class_list":["post-553961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-connor-storrie","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-fandom","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-paris-fashion-week","tag-timothu00e9e-chalamet"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116812343502614925","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
