The Unseen Obsession: A 58-Year-Old's Fanatic Quest to Separate Timothée Chalamet from Kylie Jenner

While the loved-up snap offered a sigh of relief for most fans of the couple, there's undoubtedly one person who would've been thrilled if the breakup rumors were a reality: Club Chalamet

The Obsessive Fan Who's Driven Timothée Chalamet's New Girlfriend Kylie Jenner into Hiding

In a twisted tale of love, fame, and obsession, superfan Simone Cromer has been waging war against Timothée Chalamet's new girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. The 58-year-old self-proclaimed "film nut" has been dubbed the mastermind behind Club Chalamet, a social media account that's become infamous for its relentless attacks on anyone who dares to get close to the Oscar-nominated actor.

Cromer's obsession with Chalamet began in 2017 when she watched Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Call Me By Your Name. She was hooked and quickly made Chalamet her desktop background. But as the months went by, Cromer's fixation only grew stronger. She launched Club Chalamet, a blog dedicated to all things Chalamet, and began to share updates about his career, celebrity sightings, and even organized an annual fundraiser for his birthday.

But when Kylie Jenner entered the picture in 2023, Cromer's world was turned upside down. The reality star and beauty mogul had been dating Chalamet behind closed doors, but it wasn't until they were spotted kissing at Beyoncé's Renaissance tour in Los Angeles that Club Chalamet went into overdrive.

Cromer's social media posts were filled with vitriol towards Jenner, calling her a "stalker" and accusing her of using Chalamet for publicity. She even claimed that Jenner's team had "commanded" Chalamet to appear with her at the concert. In a 52-minute rant on Twitter Spaces, Cromer alleged that Jenner was blackmailing Chalamet into being in a relationship with her.

The next day, Club Chalamet took it a step further by pleading for fans and the media to "drown out the piggybacking noise" that is Kylie Jenner. They begged Chalamet to ditch his girlfriend for friends, family, or business associates, claiming that Jenner was only using him for her own gain.

But an insider close to the couple told The Scholarly Note.com that Jenner's vitriol doesn't "negatively impact their relationship." However, they did admit that Chalamet is aware of Cromer's obsession and has chosen not to engage with it. "He knows that Kylie monitors it and is bothered by it, but he wants her to know that it is just talk from jealous people who aren't really his true fans," the insider said.

Despite Cromer's attempts to sabotage Jenner, the reality star seems unfazed. Sources close to the couple say that they are still going strong, and Chalamet has no intention of breaking up with Jenner due to Club Chalamet's antics.

But what drives Cromer's obsession? Is it a genuine love for Chalamet, or is it something more sinister? The 58-year-old superfan claims to have been inspired by Chalamet's acting talent and his dedication to his craft. However, her actions suggest that there may be more to her obsession than meets the eye.

In fact, Cromer has a history of fixating on celebrities. She once ran a fan page for Michael Fassbender and even had a personal Instagram account dedicated to print magazines featuring him on the cover. Coincidentally, her online devotion to Fassbender ended in 2017, the same year he married Alicia Vikander.

As Club Chalamet continues to wage war against Jenner, it's hard not to wonder what will happen if the couple decides to tie the knot. Will Cromer finally move on from her obsession, or will she continue to drive a wedge between Chalamet and his loved ones? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Simone Cromer's antics are about to get a whole lot more interesting.
