Mason Mount: In what has come as a bit of shocking news, a Chelsea trio has been victims of a stalking attempt from a 21-year-old model. Mason Mount, Billy Gilmour, and Ben Chilwell have been dealing with Orla Sloan, the model who pursued and tormented the trio. She is a model who went by the name “devil baby,” a court has been told. The testimony of these players raises concerns regarding where fans or so-called fans draw the line. Follow Premier League LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

Orla briefly dated Mount for a short amount of time. But when he broke up with her, Orla Sloan, 21, pounded the footballers with calls, texts, WhatsApp messages, and Instagram pictures. She continued to pursue the players using a variety of different phone numbers and social media profiles, and she falsely claimed to have gotten pregnant by Gilmour despite the fact that they had never had sex.
Gilmour said before Westminster Magistrates Court that Sloan’s stalking campaign had a negative impact on his performance because it made it difficult for him to fall asleep and made him fearful for the harm it was doing to his friendships and family.
On Wednesday, Sloan, a social media influencer, model, and TikToker, entered a plea of guilty to three charges: stalking Gilmour with the intent to cause him significant anxiety or distress; stalking England midfielder Mount; and a third charge of harassing Chilwell.
Mason Mount and Sloan meeting
Sloan met the players, who were all then playing for Chelsea, during a house party hosted by Chilwell in November 2020, according to prosecutor Jason Seetal. The prosecutor then said, ‘Following that, Mr Mount and Ms Sloan slept together once. There was communication between them for around six months and Mr Mount decided that the relationship wasn’t going to progress anymore. He decided to end contact with Ms Sloan.’
According to Mr. Seetal, Mount then had to deal with a “bombardment of messages” from Sloan after she disregarded his pleas to stop communicating and created at least 21 new phone numbers to pursue the case. The court was informed that Sloan made the Instagram account devilbaby_10, where she posted collages of Mount with other women and called the player a “criminal.”
The court heard on one occasion when she was blocked by Mount, Sloan sent the star a picture of herself buying a new phone number along with the caption, ‘I’m not buying food anymore so I can get more numbers – I will be faster than you.’
The prosecutor continued, ‘Some of the messages are apologetic, saying ‘I really wanted to say sorry to you, talk to me and let me know how you feel.’ Sloan then revealed her alter ego, telling Mount it is “a character called ‘devil baby’”, and adding, ‘You and Ben (Chilwell) will be destroyed. Beware of devil baby Mason, I can morph in a second.’
In a statement, Mount said, ‘She knows roughly where I live and where I train. I am worried when unable to contact me she might turn up at my training centre.’
Billy Gilmour and Sloan
In an effort to get in touch with Chilwell, Sloan posted collages of him online and allegedly made sexual claims about him. Scottish international Gilmour testified in court that he moved from Chelsea to Brighton in the summer of 2022 and discovered that Sloan was inundating him with texts while he was in a strange new place and away from his friends and family.
After they met at the home party, he sent her a quick message, but afterward tried to break off communication, the court heard. She began stalking him, though, in the summer of 2022, claiming online to have gotten pregnant through the footballer, even though they never had sex.
Outlining the impact of her behaviour, Gilmour said in a statement, ‘I was not able to sleep and had to take sleeping tablets on occasions. It had a knock-on effect on my performance’, adding that he was left “extremely stressed” and struck by “feelings of panic”.
He continued, ‘For a period of time I was consistently receiving notifications of messages from Orla, or contacted by people she was harassing. I was worried not only for myself but also those targeted by Orla.‘
Sloan admitted stalking Mount from June to October 2022, harassing Chilwell at the end of October 2022, and stalking Gilmour between September 10 and October 28, 2022.
