Old Employer Is Trying To Ruin New Job? What To Do?

So things have been going well at the new job. I largely moved on from the old place and the shitty two faced CEO. But then I got told by my new manager that she just wanted to give me a heads up but my old employer called and said that they'd be better off firing me and hiring someone more...

I took some of your advice and tried talking to the old CEO for the millionth time. I even tried apologizing even though I did nothing wrong.

He sent me a meeting link and started getting REALLY weird with me.

After my apology he was just like "Hey hey Frankie.... you're going to be good from now on. Right?"

OK so WTF? He never called me this before??? I don't go by Frankie???? Why am I getting a pet name now?

But good from now on? I didn't know what he was talking about so I just asked him what he meant. He just said "You won't be trying to cause me anymore issues, will you Frankie?"

He just kept being vague. I think he was trying to be threatening but came across as a weirdo.

I don't know what weird stuff he thinks I'm doing but I literally left that job behind me. He's the one who is trying to ruin my new job?

I just don't feel good about this. I knew it was a bad idea but I went along with it anyway like an idiot. I told you guys he's crazy and you can't reason with crazy!

But idk tbh it doesn't seem like he can do much so I'm just going to let him stew in whatever fantasy he's cooked up where I'm being bad to him or something? He just gave me the willies it was so weird.

Do you think at this point you are in possible danger if he is this crazy?

No not really lol. I was kinda worried before but I guess all he can really do is make weird threats.

That's what you think now. Or what he wants you to think.

I guess we’ll see!

Okay, let's go the Outlaw way : D

Fool me one time shame on you
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you

Fool me three times, fu*k the peace signs
Load the chopper... let it rain

Bro, if he's so crazy you surely can use that against him and make *him* loose reputation in the city, no? Like, explain to other people that he acts and talks weird and that you're concerned. In this case I wouldn't be aggressive about this even, just show what he's doing. This can quickly go the other way around, not you loosing opportunities but him instead but it'd help if you have proof, like written communication (emails, dms, etc) or recordings. Like come on, he's making a fool out of himself right now.

He sounds a bit like a baldy fella I used to know. Anyway, here is your solution - just adopt 2 ferrets from @polecat send them to him and he will change forever.
