Paris Fashion Week Scuffle Highlights Online Fandom’s Real-World Spillover

On Tuesday during Paris Fashion Week, a physical altercation erupted outside the hotel where actor Connor Storrie was waiting to attend the Saint Laurent Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 show. A fan of Storrie, known on X as @mikadontyoudare, reported a clash with Simone Cromer, a 59-year-old writer who runs the “Club Chalamet” fan account. Both participants posted their versions of the incident on social media.

Cromer launched Club Chalamet in 2018 to track Timothée Chalamet. Following Chalamet’s 2023 relationship with Kylie Jenner, the account grew from about 3,000 to over 40,000 followers. Before focusing on Chalamet, she was a Michael Fassbender fan, stepping back after his 2017 marriage to Alicia Vikander.

Cromer’s X post said she was moving with the crowd when a fan seized her backpack, causing her to lose footing, and that the fan shouted, “I know who you are, bitch.” An Instagram update added the fan “targeted me and harassed and assaulted me, but I’m fine.” The fan @mikadontyoudare told journalist Louis Pisano they intervened out of panic, fearing Cromer might threaten Storrie. Their live-tweets read “Fck. clubchalamet is here. Tf do i do” and “So um, just had a fight with club chalamet.”

Commentators have accused Cromer of instability, obsessive fandom, and a security risk to celebrities, noting her pattern of shifting focus when a target actor is linked to a partner she disapproves of. Cromer rejects these claims, asserting her behavior stems from fan enthusiasm rather than malice.

Cromer says she was grabbed and pushed; the fan says Cromer rushed toward Storrie and was restrained to prevent a threat. No video evidence or police report has been cited, leaving the precise sequence and any additional witnesses unclear.
