Andrew Gillum’s Hotel Incident Uncovers Personal Battle With Depression And Alcoholism

New information and photos have surfaced from the hotel room where Andrew Gillum was allegedly with “a known male escort.”

Last Friday, the politician, husband, father of two, and FAMU alumnus was in a Miami Beach hotel with two gentlemen when emergency responders were summoned. Tallahassee Democrat reported, “emergency responders were summoned to revive one of the men(not Gillum), who apparently sustained a drug overdose. Three plastic bags thought to contain meth amphetamine were found in the room.”

In the event following that Friday—where the politician was said to be celebrating a wedding—Gillum announced that he will no longer be living a public life, and instead will be seeking treatment for alcoholism and depression:

“This has been a wake-up call for me,” Gillum said in a brief statement issued via e-mail. “Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse.”

We desperately hope Gillum receives the rehabilitation and mental health attention he needs as depression nor alcoholism are illnesses and aren’t anything to take lightly. We are rooting for him to make a solid and sound recovery.

Gillum, a married dad-of-three who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida’s first black governor, was too ‘inebriated’ to tell cops what went down when they arrived at Miami’s Mondrian Hotel early last Friday

‘At this time the incident is not being investigated as a criminal matter,’ said a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department. Read the original story shared by Daily Mail.”
