Club Chalamet Got Into a Real Fight at Paris Fashion Week. The Internet Cannot Look Away.

Paris Fashion Week is the part of the calendar where famous people wear difficult clothes and everyone agrees to find it profound. This week it also gave us a sidewalk scuffle between two fans of the same actor, outside his hotel, in front of a crowd with phones out. The most famous fan account on the internet says she got jumped. The other fan says that is not what happened at all.

The actor at the center of it is Connor Storrie, the "Heated Rivalry" breakout who has spent the week getting photographed front row at the menswear shows. Per Rolling Stone, when he left his hotel Tuesday to head to the Saint Laurent Men's Spring/Summer 2027 show, the crowd waiting for him produced something nobody requested: a fight between two of his stans. One of them you have almost certainly seen on your timeline whether you wanted to or not.

You already know Club Chalamet

If you have spent any time in the film corners of X, you have met Club Chalamet. The account is run by Simone Cromer, a 59-year-old writer who started it in 2018 as a Timothée Chalamet fan page. According to Rolling Stone, the account chugged along at a few thousand followers until 2023, when Chalamet started dating Kylie Jenner and Cromer hosted a nearly hour-long Twitter Spaces arguing the relationship was a fraud. That take did numbers. Rolling Stone reports she went from around 3,000 followers to more than 40,000, and by 2025 she had a Wall Street Journal profile.

She has since pointed the account's attention at Storrie, which is how a Chalamet superfan ended up outside a "Heated Rivalry" star's hotel in Paris. The internet's nickname for her is generous (fandom bogeyman) and her critics have called her a stalker and a security risk, claims she "categorically" denies, per Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone notes she did not respond to its request for comment.

What everyone agrees on, and what they very much do not

Here is the part both sides cosign: there was a crowd outside the hotel, Storrie came out to go to the YSL show, and two grown fans got into a physical altercation. After that, the accounts split hard.

Cromer's version, which she posted herself on X, is that she was minding her business in the crowd when someone grabbed her backpack hard enough that she nearly went down. She wrote that the other fan glared at her and said, "I know who you are, bitch." In her telling it escalated into "an embarrassing brief scuffle" that was, in her word, "humiliating." She also delivered the single most viral line of the whole saga, claiming she "took her Manson family recruitment photo" and then called the other fan an unprintable name. Reporting from The Tab and Rolling Stone both quote that one, because of course they do.

The other fan, an account called @mikadontyoudare who uses they/them pronouns, tells it the opposite way. In an interview with writer Louis Pisano, they said they clocked Cromer in the crowd, got worried for Storrie's safety, and when he came out, claimed Cromer raced toward him. The Tab reports the fan says they grabbed her arm on reflex to stop her. "Something in my head panicked," they told Pisano, per Rolling Stone. "Oh, she's gonna do something now."

So: a snatched backpack and an unprovoked assault, or a security-minded grab to stop a sprint. Pick your narrator. Neither account has been independently verified, and the second fan's identity has not been publicly confirmed.

The part that is actually a little funny

If the goal of the confrontation was to keep Cromer away from Connor Storrie, it failed spectacularly. The fight is now the most-discussed thing to come out of his Fashion Week, more than the clove cigarettes, more than the front row next to Madonna and Charli xcx that Rolling Stone clocked him sitting in. Cromer got her glimpse of Connor anyway, and said so. "I won't let this deter me from supporting Connor," she wrote on Instagram, per Rolling Stone.

There is a real thread running under the slapstick, which Rolling Stone lays out well: two strangers who built their whole emotional lives around a person they have never met, meeting in real space, where the stakes are no longer a bad review or a rumored relationship but an actual body in front of an actual hotel. Fandom runs on big feelings in small rooms. Sometimes the room turns out to be a street in Paris.

For now it stays a he-said, they-said, with receipts on both sides and a hotel sidewalk as the crime scene. Connor Storrie, the man the entire thing was nominally about, has not said a word.
