He made his admission as he sat down with Hall while discussing the incident in a Miami hotel room where he was found, drunk and nude, in the same place where an acquaintance was being treated for a drug overdose. “I don’t identify as gay,” Gillum said, “but I do identify as bisexual. And that is something I have never shared publicly before.”
During the hour, Gillum went into more detail about the incident and revealed that after his close loss to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 gubernatorial race, he began drinking heavily, including putting whiskey in his morning coffee. After he made headlines back in March, he released a statement explaining, “This has been a wake-up call for me,” Gillum said in a statement. “I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism and I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles.”
The 41-year-old father-of-three has entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol abuse. He revealed to Hall that he has “cried every day” since his sudden fall from grace.
