Why Club Chalamet Is at the Center of Paris Fashion Week Drama
June 25, 2026
While 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.
Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie 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’s 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.
Cromer, a longtime fan of Dune and Marty Supreme star Timothée Chalamet, started her Chalamet-focused fan account in 2018. But in 2023, when Chalamet began dating Kylie Jenner, Cromer became a polarizing figure 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 — even nabbing her a Wall Street Journal profile in 2025. But Cromer also took heat from other fans, who accused her of instability, obsession, and dangerous behavior — claims she continues to categorically deny. (Cromer did not respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment).
While 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’s hotel. Storrie stan @mikadontyoudare appeared to live-tweet much of the interaction on X. “Fck. clubchalamet is here. Tf do i do,” they wrote, minutes later adding, “So um, just had a fight with club chalamet.” (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’s requests for comment.

In an interview with journalist and Discourted writer Louis Pisano, the fan said that they were aware of Cromer prior to the interaction, calling her “well-known in fan spaces, especially because she’s a danger and a security risk to the celebrities she targets.” According to the fan, they noticed Cromer while waiting outside of Storrie’s hotel and became concerned for the actor’s safety. When Storrie exited the hotel, they claimed Cromer raced toward him. When the fan confronted Cromer, a verbal and physical altercation ensued.
“Something in my head panicked,” the fan told Pisano. “Oh, she’s gonna do something now. She had been doing nothing all day, but maybe she had been biding her time and now was her moment.”
Cromer confirmed the fight in her own post on X, but claimed that she was assaulted without provocation. (Cromer used she/her pronouns for the fan). “As 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,” Cromer wrote in an extended post. “She glared at me and said, “I know who you are. I know who you are, bitch. You bitch!”
Cromer wrote that she attempted to avoid the fan but was pushed into her path again by the crowd surge when Storrie emerged. “As 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,” she added. “It was humiliating.”

Very few things besides Cromer’s age and public persona separate her from the average fan account owner. She may have a uniquely prolific pen — the phrase “I took her Manson family recruitment photo, then, I promptly called her the c word,” which she posted on Tuesday, seems particularly built for virality — but most of her content follows the traditional track for stans; commenting on her favorite actors’ dating habits, photo shoots, press, outfits, personal lives, and marketing strategies. Nevertheless, online, she’s developed a persona as something close to a fandom bogeyman, less for her actions and more from the potential of what fans believe she could be capable of.
This reputation is inextricably linked to Cromer’s 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’t like. Her departure from the Fassbender fandom coincided with the actor’s 2017 marriage to Alicia Vikander, and her public “step back” from the Chalamet fandom occurred after months of covering his award show attendances with Jenner.
Even with Cromer and the fan’s conflicting accounts, it’s impossible to ignore that both of the people involved in the fight were in a situation that the average person — someone not interested in the intricacies of fandom — 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’s 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.

But what’s perhaps most ironic is that if the plan was to keep Cromer away from Storrie — or at least out of spaces his fandom is claiming as their own — the fight had the exact opposite effect.
“[The other fan] targeted me and harassed and assaulted me, but I’m fine,” Cromer wrote on Instagram. “I won’t let this deter me from supporting Connor.”
Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
Venezuela Fury and Noah Price subsidising their life by livestreaming
Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price look to be making their own way in the world by raking it in from their lucrative social media accounts.
The influencer daughter of Tyson and Paris Fury, 16, has become an internet sensation after tying the knot with her husband Noah, 19, earlier this year.
Since getting married and moving in together the couple have been earning thousands of pounds a month, livestreaming their life as newlyweds in their static caravan in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
And fans can't get enough of their regular life updates on TikTok and Kick, which have proved to be very profitable for the pair.
They look to be supporting themselves after Noah denied that he was given £5million by Venezuela's family as a wedding gift.
Despite his wife's huge family wealth, an estimated combined £160 million, Noah recently told his Kick followers that he 'pays for everything' for the couple.
Making light of the claims about Venezuela's millionaire financial status, Noah said: 'I actually pay for everything unfortunately. You'd expect the millionaire to pay for it wouldn't you.'

Venezuela then asked their fans: 'Do you think I am a millionaire?'
Noah joked: 'She isn't a secret millionaire guys', before she broke into song and sang: 'But I live like a millionaire!'
But it seems according to estimated calculations from their social media work, Noah and Venezuela can more than afford to support themselves.
Noah has been livestreaming on platforms such as Kick and TikTok, where viewers can send paid gifts or donations.
He was previously encouraging viewers to send gifts on his honeymoon during livestreams, suggesting this is one revenue stream.
Both Noah and Venezuela have built substantial followings on Instagram and TikTok. They can potentially earn money through sponsored posts, brand collaborations, affiliate links and creator payouts.
Kick allows its creators to take home 95 per cent of the £4.99 subscription cost that fans pay.
Streamers keep 100 per cent of direct tips and donations, minus minor standard payment processing fees.
It is unclear how many subscribers Noah currently has because this information is hidden, but he does have 7,200 followers which is publicly viewable.
An industry insider has suggested Noah is making around £400 per video on TikTok, while Venezuela is likely to make £2,000 due to her following count of 1.3 million.

In one video on their honeymoon, Noah asked his followers if they'd give them some more gifts now that they were married.
In a TikTok live viewed by 20,000 he said: 'Keep liking our videos people, keep sending gifts.'
After saying thank you to several of his followers he joked they should stick around on the livestream and 'watch Venezuela punch me in the mouth'.
The other half of the honeymooning couple said: 'I am, honestly!'
Noah previously confirmed that the pair don't share their finances after they were asked whether they have a shared bank account.
'She earns her money, I earn mine,' said Noah, as Venezuela joked: 'Yeah, what you gonna do about it.'
Noah went on to debunk the rumour that Tyson gave him £5million when he tied the knot with his daughter as he insisted: 'No Tyson did not give me £5million'.
Meanwhile Venezuela is being eyed up by executives for a fly on the wall TV series.

Boasting 1.3 million TikTok followers, Venezuela is already entertaining fans with her honest musings and candid moments, from cooking to kitting out her and Noah's static caravan home.
And following the success of the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, it is no wonder bosses are wanting to draw on the Fury popularity.
A TV insider said: 'The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.
'People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor'.
'Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating,' they told The Sun.
It is thought Netflix would be likely to produce the series due to their already established relationship with the Furys.
Venezuela's representatives told The Daily Mail: 'We have many offers on the table regarding Venezuela which we are discussing.'
