Bret broke up with him, and asked him to leave the condo. Todd has refused, so Bret, unaware that he was being live streamed, called a lawyer.
One of the things that led up to it was Todd bringing up the sudden death of Bret's boyfriend of an aortic aneurysm thirty years ago. Todd has now implied that Bret actually killed him.
In this video Bret, not knowing he's live on the net, yells at Todd to leave, calls him a crazy person, and like Cher tells him to "snap out of it."
Todd is defiant, saying they'll have to drag him out of the condo.

It's on his YouTube channel. Just under his name.
R2 He's been doing many different types of drugs the past week. I don't think he's very thought out at this point.
What seems to have happened is that for almost the last year, Bret's been serializing his latest book on his podcast. There's been lots of talk about how brilliant it is by fans of Bret, which seems to have caused Todd to have a problem.
Brett's career's been in something of a lull. And that's been the case for most of the time they've been together. But Todd started freaking out when The Shards started to look like it might be something very successful.
The last few weeks has just been a laundry list of insanity. And all played out on the internet. He's been getting into Brett's address book and calling people while live streaming. And saying ugly crazy shit.

Sweetheart, from your own words, you were born in 1980--so, less than 12 months from being categorized as a millennial yourself.
As for the jab at 'socialists', I would expect nothing less from someone who has said in past posts, "At the end of the day, people are getting tired of BLM... I know I am" and "The blacks have had their moment in the sun for last six months".
These peoples' psychological and relationship issues have little-to-nothing to do with their views on capitalist exploitation. And you, yourself, were crotch-fruit in 1980 so the 'damn avocado-toast eating millennial' thing is a stretch.

Bret Easton Ellis has finally thrown his boyfriend of 11 years OUT of their apartment.
In the past few weeks, Todd has been calling people in Bret's roledex, saying outrageous shit, got a visit from the police for falling asleep in the elevator, played loud music out on the balcony at 6am on Sunday morning, and accused Bret of murdering a previous boyfriend.
Todd was offline for a few days, and popped up the other day. Now he's in a cheap, Motel 6 looking motel. I really hope he gets the help he needs.

Todd had a bird that he killed in the apartment. He was defrauding Bret's fans by selling books online, and either misrepresenting their value, or taking money for them and never sending the books. He called Bret's friends and associates, leaving insane messages at all hours. And again, he was accusing Bret of all manner of crazy things

R93 Gore Vidal was a shameless social climber and star-fucker. He never tired of telling anyone he met of his vaunted family connections - his senator grandfather, his father's affair with Amelia Earhart, his supposed affairs with Dennis Hopper and Fred Astaire - and he somehow used his wealth and status as a perch to tell the rest of us what philistines and fools we were.
He was a polemicist, not an artist. He wrote empty shit just to piss people off, in the vein of Ann Coulter or Arianna Huffington. He described American Values as "Lying and Cheating," and raved against the very same establishment that made him such a socially-powerful old queen. He was the elite's elite, yet he never got tired of bashing The System.
Bret Easton Ellis is similarly privileged, and similarly a fussy asshole about it. He's not content simply to be a famous author. He has to be a notorious prick to everyone he meets, and mock the very system that sustains him.
