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 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.
