Final Straw in Susan Sarandon’s ‘Boytoy’ Relationship Plays Out Online, ‘I Feel Really Betrayed’

“Whenever we're in public, I still can't help feeling like I'm her sidekick,” the 37-year-old reality star said to Sarandon, and the cameras in their Manhattan apartment.

The couple and SPiN club co-owners met on a 2010 road trip to Chile, and were still dating during the six months the web series was filmed.

A source of their frustration on the show seemed to be their 30-year age difference, with Bricklin telling his 68-year-old partner at one point, “You look like a Seventies sex symbol.” Sarandon paused, and then laughed, asking, “A sex symbol who's almost 70 or just a Seventies sex symbol?”

Bricklin, an aspiring writer, confessed to Sarandon, “As a man, I would maybe like to make a mark for myself in this world. Maybe I don't want to be just the boytoy?” He continued, “Honestly, the boytoy [stuff] I thought was flattering initially and I tried to live up to that, but now five or six years have passed and that's my f***ing life, and that's not okay.”

Sarandon replied off-camera, 'What you're doing is framing your life as important because it depends on me, so how is that any different from being a boytoy?”

“You're a man who has so many interesting people in his life, so many interesting things. I'm not the reason your life is important. You're the reason your life is important,” she continued as you hear her tear up off-camera. “I feel really betrayed that now it's all up to me to make this worthwhile? Now it's my problem?”

Last month, Bricklin confirmed to Page Six that the couple split... by stating they were taking time apart to “refresh.” Bricklin admitted that the show “added challenges” to their relationship.
