Timothée Chalamet's self-proclaimed "superfan" Club Chalamet is divisive among the Marty Supreme actor's most ardent supporters. Simone Cromer founded her Club Chalamet social media in 2017 (with her more-popular X account following in 2018) and describes herself as simply "a GenX LA-based super fan account in support of 2x Oscar-nominated, Critics' Choice award-winning actor, Timothée Chalamet." Some critics, however, argue that her posts push the boundaries of socially acceptable fandom. Cromer insists that her support of Chalamet is purely platonic, likening their dynamic to an aunt cheering on her nephew. (Cromer and Chalamet have a 29-year age gap.) "I can't change the fact that I was born in 1966. I don't want to be a 24-year-old white girl running Club Chalamet. I am who I am," she told The Wall Street Journal in December 2025. Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Steal the Show at Critics Choice Awards In January 2026, Cromer raised eyebrows within the Chalamet fan community for an interaction that she described with the actor at the Palm Springs International Film Awards Gala. After posing with Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, inside the event, her behavior was slammed for being "so haunting" and "deeply creepy." Keep scrolling for more about Club Chalamet. Who Is Club Chalamet? Simone Cromer started an Instagram account dedicated to her fandom of Timothée Chalamet in early 2018 after watching his acclaimed performance in Call Me by Your Name. "It wasn't until the second viewing of Call Me by Your Name that it clicked. Like, 'Jeez, this kid is going places,'" she told The Wall Street Journal in December 2025. As of December 2025, she was 59 years old and worked full-time in the healthcare industry. What started as a way for Cromer to share Chalamet-themed memes and photos grew into a social empire where she has more than 50,000 followers on X, nearly 15,000 on Instagram and reportedly nearly 40 paying subscribers on an official Club Chalamet Substack. "I didn't anticipate, expect or want this kind of attention," Cromer told WSJ. "I'm just a fan at the end of the day." Courtesy of Simone Cromer/Instagram Cromer has dedicated herself to assisting Chalamet in winning an Oscar. As part of her Substack account - where readers can pay $65 per year for standard access or $150 per year for "premium" content - she outlines PR strategies that she believes Chalamet and his team should follow during awards season. "Helping Timothée win the Oscar is the ONLY thing that matters! The only thing," she wrote via Instagram in January 2026. "Be happy for him when he wins these awards, because he has worked so hard to earn these nominations and he has sacrificed a lot, a hell of a lot! I'm fully on board in continuing to do my part as I have been doing since late 2017!" Substack confirmed to WSJ in December 2025 that one of its representatives personally invited Cromer to start her own subscription blog. "Substack has a dedicated team focused on identifying and supporting writers and creators of all kinds, including fan-driven communities like Club Chalamet's," a Substack spokesperson told the outlet. Cromer has started to receive media coverage of her own. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news in January 2025 that Cromer lost her Altadena, California, home during the Pacific Palisades fires. "I have been in a fog of confusion, I have been scared about what to do next, and I have been exhausted from not sleeping well, all between shedding tears," she wrote via X at the time. "Each passing day I get a bit stronger and I'm confident I will move on from this stronger, thanks to friends." Cromer later told her followers that she'd moved in with friends. How Has Club Chalamet Addressed Timothee Chalamet's Girlfriend Kylie Jenner? One of the more contentious aspects of Simone Cromer's fandom of the A Complete Unknown actor revolves around Timothée Chalamet's nearly three-year relationship with reality star Kylie Jenner. Cromer has insinuated on her Club Chalamet social media accounts that the actor's relationship with Jenner may be fake. She does not refer to Jenner by name in most of her social posts, instead referring to the Kardashians star as "a guest" or "Ms. K." Posts on the Club Chalamet accounts have speculated that Jenner may be impacting Chalamet's chances at winning an Oscar. Cromer had a diplomatic response when asked directly by The Wall Street Journal whether she believes an actor's dating life can influence their awards season success. "Any suggestions I make are just coming from a speculation of what I would like to see," Cromer replied. "I'm sure Timothée is going to have a lot of fun at this upcoming awards season. I really think that the merit of his performance is what the voters are going to focus on, and I'm still going to be there to support him." Has Club Chalamet Addressed Criticism From Other Fans?
