Former employer purposely sabotaging my job hunt

So I’ve been applying to jobs the past week and this morning I woke up to a paragraph text from my old boss (owner of the company) telling me to take my experience with his company off my resume because he doesn’t have a single thing good to say about me, and that he will make sure I don’t get any job that calls him.

I have no idea what he said to whatever company reached out to him, in that 7 months I never missed a day up until I quit.

Oh also he made a comment making fun how the business I was pursuing (clearly) didn’t work out because I’m applying for jobs. And how he knew that it wouldn’t work out.
