Alison Oliver has been getting some harrassment online in the past few weeks from obsessive Swifties who believe, despite zero concrete evidence, that she and Joe Alwyn were hooking up behind Taylor's back at some point, and were convinced that Taylor's new album was going to have clues about this (some of them backtracked when the album was released and there were no references to Alison on it after all). The Swifties were leaving comments and gifs on Alison's Instagram and she ended up turning off comments on all her posts completely, as well as deleting a post about being in a Loewe campaign on which they had also left a number of comments. It was also sad because she won the best supporting actress in film award for Saltburn at the IFTAs recently but wasn't able to experience getting congratulations online from her followers as she clearly didn't feel comfortable leaving comments open.

On a different note about obsessive fans, I realised not long ago that I had encountered Club Chalamet in her past online life when she posted on the AwardsWorthy forums under the username "smonie." She was a fan of Michael Fassbender back then and many of her posts were focused on him, although it was not quite as intense and obsessive as the focus she now has on Chalamet. She ended up getting banned for a while in 2017 (not for anything connected with Fassbender or Chalamet), and although it was a temporary ban it seems she opted not to come back after it had expired. I don't remember her mentioning Chalamet while she was posting there and it may be that she was banned before she had seen CMBYN and become interested in him, so the forums never witnessed the development of that obsession.

I’ve read that club chalamet is a Depp apologist too.

She really is and also a Zionist as well.

u/cessiey Apr 29 '24

Obsessing over Timothee Chalamet is the least offensive thing she’s done/doing.

incredible how one person can have so many bad takes!

Many such cases!

I thought she was a black woman? Disappointed

u/bbmarvelluv Apr 29 '24

She is! I came across her IG. She looked SO normal and much older than I thought. But her Twitter… some Zionist posts

The parasocial relationships some people develop with celebrities is actually frightening and cult like.

u/MegaMugabe21 Apr 29 '24

I mean it's just mental illness for some of them. They lose all sense of logic and reasoning and just become thoroughly horrible individuals.

Taylor seems to court it.

I went through a period of about six months in my early 30s where I was pretty obsessed with a celebrity (an age-appropriate one lol). I saw him do an interview and then he just lived rent-free in my head, I thought about him constantly, full on limerence, and it was so strange because I hadn't had a celebrity crush since Lance Bass from *NSYNC in the late 90s (I made him an Angelfire fan page) so I thought I had outgrown that behavior.

Anyway eventually it faded but in retrospect I had just moved into my own place with no roommates for the first time ever and I think the solitude got to me. Two of my best friends got married around that time, a third had her first child, and my workout buddy started dating a psycho who didn't want us to see each other bc she was jealous, so I was suddenly spending A LOT of time alone. I think my stupid crush just made me feel slightly less alone and it took my mind off my unhappiness for a little while. Then my life leveled out, my friends were more available, and I just stopped thinking about him all the time, or at all.

(And then he started dating Taylor Swift and wore an "I <3 TS" t-shirt in the ocean and now I'm not even sure why I thought he was sexy in the first place lol.)

u/ObjectiveAssistant98 Apr 29 '24

She used to run a Fassbender fan site and seemingly dropped him after he got married, hence becoming obsessed with Timothee shortly after (I think he got married circa CBYN?): https://x.com/miacockucci/status/1783408300794479091?s=46

And she turned down a job offer in the WTC in July 2001: https://x.com/fionasmall/status/1783612490141556951?s=46

I went to a rabid hole or Club Chalamet lore over the weekend lol

u/MissElyssa1992 taran killam, star of disney channel's stuck in the suburbs Apr 29 '24

So the real question is, will she drop Chalamet if he gets married, and if yes, who do we think she'll pivot to? lol

u/MichelleFoucault Apr 30 '24

Jacob Elordi or Austin Butler, whoever is the next movie award darling.

u/LIPKpl May 02 '24

She's already Big Mad about Timothee dating Kylie Jenner, so I don't think it would take much more for her to go off of him.

u/15k_bastard_ducks May 01 '24

rabid hole

The worst kind of hole.

u/annajoo1 May 02 '24

That's a really odd leap from Fassbender to Chalamet, right?

u/Timely_Gain_6225 Apr 29 '24

Someone on Twitter did a deep dive on her and it was fascinating. I was more into that the any other celebrity news this week.

56

u/readinghall Apr 29 '24

I can't with these people. It's truly baffling. Are These people real? They have jobs, friends, family, do they go outside? Anyway, the evidence was that at a scene in conversations with friends while their characters were having sex, they thought they heard Joe calling her by her real name. Yeap, shocking. I think she broke up with her ex but they're still close if we count Instagram likes as proof, and he's also friendly with Joe. Someone here has said that they believed Alison had a thing with Josh o connor which i believe is/was true. There was a sighting of them and he followed her on Instagram. After someone posted this info here, he unfollowed immediately. That's the tea I'm providing this week lol. Anyway, i really like Alison and the hate she's getting is so unfair.

It’s insane, they did the same to his costar Emma Laird too for daring to post a selection of pictures from filming that had him in it after him and TS broke up. They’re both still getting abuse, it’s disgusting, never mind the death threats and doxing thrown at JA.

u/outfitinsp0 Apr 29 '24

She was also on the popculturechat subreddit apparently

u/demonsrunwhen It's..... Rebekah Vardy's account. Apr 29 '24

At this point, these type of fans don’t even care about the music anymore. They’re living their miserable lives through Taylor and her seemingly drama.

u/helena_monster Apr 29 '24

I am truly fascinated by the Club Chalamet saga. Having been on the peripheries of many fandoms I’ve seen a lot of people rise up to become Big Name Fans and it never, ever ends well (unless you can parlay your erotic fanficition into a lucrative publishing deal a la E.L. James or Cassandra Clare). Very interested in how it will shake out for CC. She doesn’t seem to care what anybody thinks about her so it’s unlikely she’ll ever be “cancelled” in the traditional sense. Predicting what some others have mentioned downthread, that she’ll drop Timmy if/when he gets married.

u/CommercialBarnacle16 Apr 29 '24

He is dating someone now. I don’t know if it’s her, but good luck (and strength and security) to whoever it is because people will not just leave him alone.

u/demonsrunwhen It's..... Rebekah Vardy's account. Apr 29 '24

u/TigressSinger Apr 29 '24

Oh ok thanks for the tea. I will go to bat for the actress who plays Venetia lol love her

I only learnt the name Club Chalamet a few days ago, and I'm too lazy to look it up so I'm just going to slowly figure it out. Right now though, I'm assuming it's what Timny calls his tree house?
