Award-winning gay adult film actor Roman Todd claimed he was clinically dead for five minutes after snorting a fentanyl-laced pill reportedly given to him by fellow porn star Ricky Larkin.
Todd and friend Cliff Jensen made the stunning accusations in a Twitter livestream posted on Tuesday, July 4. And Todd just posted screen caps of a conversation with Larkin which appear to confirm the wayward actor was the source of the near-fatal pills.
“I should not be here right now,” Todd said in the livestream.
A shirtless Jensen explained Todd had obtained the pill (possibly the highly addictive painkiller oxycodone according to a report in Str8upgayporn) from Larkin. Todd later snorted the crushed pill in a bathroom stall at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) where he was just about to board a flight. He collapsed immediately after exiting the stall.
“If he would have stayed in the bathroom for 20 more seconds and collapsed in the stall, they wouldn’t have found him for, what, 20, 30 minutes, an hour until the next f*cking shift came through to clean it?” said a visibly animated Jensen. “He would have been dead.”
In their livestream, Jensen said Todd was clinically dead and had to be revived using the drug Narcan, and that later test showed the only drug in Todd’s system was fentanyl.
Larkin responded to a tweet from Jensen, calling him a “dirt bag” and accusing him of being dishonest about his sobriety.
“I’ll pass a piss test right now,” Larkin tweeted. “Will you?”
Despite his claims to the contrary, Larkin’s own words seem to show he was the source of the fentanyl-laced pills.
“I’ve got 75 pills coming from Arizona tonight,” Larkin reportedly says in a text to Todd.
“Damn that’s a lot of pills lol,” Todd responds.
Todd is reportedly out of danger for now, but did not disclose his whereabouts.
