* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: A guy that goes by Jimmy Jimmy (real name James Rinaldi) claimed to have dated Claire and that she tried to kill and drug him. A Grimes fan account (which will remain nameless) on Instagram posted this guy's story story over and over. His story stays consistent and it never changes. The fan account blocked JJ multiple times. He then threatened Grimes, and on that night she called the police. So no wonder she would mention "fan accounts" in her tweets. ''Bonus'': The guy also claims "Nightmusic" is about him. "Nightmusic" was later pulled from every streaming service hosting Grimes' work, so there's that.
