What happened between Bret Easton Ellis and Todd?

[Deleted member 449757]

I used to regularly listen to the Bret Easton Ellis podcast until around 2020, when he stopped accidentally uploading the episodes to the internet for free even though they're supposed to be for Patreon backers only.

On his Podcast, Bret often talked about his ultra-woke millenial boyfriend Todd whom he is living together. Today, i googled Bret Easton Ellis and stumbled on the fever dream which is this video, which is so dubious in quality that i am unable to provide cliffs:



Does anyone know what the fuck happened between those two, how it started and how it is going?

Tough to comment, no cliffs, 40 minute video....

I just recently resubbed to the Patreon podcast after a long hiatus and can't find anything about it with a search. Didn't know he'd broken up with Todd, but Todd always sounded like a total wiener anyway

It's a collection of clips of Bret being filmed without knowing it and having arguments with his weirdo boyfriend whom he was apparently trying to throw out of his condo.

Here are some short bizarre clips for context (which will probably difficult):

I love BEE but I can't watch all this shit. My guess is the cliffs are Brett's much younger BF is a drug addict and Brett can't deal with anymore.

Who? And why do you care exactly?

I remember several years back when folks around these parts were pretty enamored with that dude, you mean to tell me that whole time these people were hero worshipping a gay!?!?

Legitimate Question. The guy who wrote Less Than Zero and American Psycho. He had a podcast on which he mentioned his boyfriend who was a millenial every once in a while. After recently searching for BEE, i stumbled over this convoluted mess of bizarre Hollyweirdo shit and therefore wondered what the fuck happened between them while i was not following him.

Not exactly a secret as far as i know. If you read a Bret Easton Ellis book it should become very clear very fast that he is gay. Same with Chuck Palahniuk.

Less than zero was an awesome movie.
American Psycho was good too, but that's all I want to know about that guy lol.

I find it hard enough to deal with my own marriage, so anyone else's (unless it's a friend) kinda falls to the wayside for me sir.

No hate on you, it's just the way I compartmentalize things to keep the junk to the side instead of tripping on it lol.

It's more surprise and confusion on my part rather than trying to analyze the relationship of some writer. The thing is that i never knew anything about this Todd character other than what Bret said on his podcast every once in a while. So suddenly finding this cryptic shit makes me wonder what's the deal with them, so i thought i might as well ask on the most reliable news source on the internet.

I completely understand sir.

Im old and don't care is how some would describe me lol.
