Andrew Gillum was caught in a room with more than just drugs.

The man who overdosed on crystal meth in a Florida hotel room with Gillum, a Democrat who made an unsuccessful bid for Florida governor, was an openly gay male escort with a profile on the website RentMen.com, Florida’s Local10 reported Friday.

Travis Dyson also identified himself as a “pornstar performer” who offered services including “gay massage”

Gillum has been married to wife R. Jai Gillum since 2009. Together. the couple has three children.

The former Tallahassee mayor was found vomiting and intoxicated with Dyson at the Mondrian South Beach, according to a police report first obtained by the Miami Herald.

Gillum was not arrested but “was unable to communicate with officers due to his inebriated state,” according to the report.

In a statement, Gillum offered an apology — but insisted he had stayed drug free.

“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines,” he said. “I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement.”

Andrew Gillum to enter rehab, withdraw from politics after Miami hotel room episode

Andrew Gillum said Sunday night that he will enter a rehab facility to address his alcohol abuse.

The former Florida gubernatorial candidate made the decision after he was found inebriated inside a Miami Beach hotel room early Friday morning with another man who allegedly overdosed on crystal meth.

“After conversation with my family and deep reflection, I have made the decision to seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility at this time,” Gillum said in a statement.

Gillum, a Democrat who lost to now-Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018, revealed that since that race, he “fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse.”

Without addressing Friday’s events, he said, “This has been a wake-up call for me.”

The 40-year-old was found vomiting in the bathroom of Mondrian South Beach by Aldo Mejias, 56, who then called police.

Another man, Travis Dyson, 30, collapsed on the bed and was treated for a possible drug overdose. Officers found three baggies of crystal meth on the bed and hotel room floor, according to Miami New Times.

In a statement after Friday’s incident, Gillum said alcohol — not drugs — was to blame for his intoxicated state.

Gillum said that with his decision to enter rehab, he forgo all “public facing roles for the foreseeable future.”

“I am committed to doing the personal work to heal fully and show up in the world as a more complete person,” he wrote.

Warning Graphic Image: Was Andrew Gillum naked during drug overdose incident?
March 21, 2020

When news broke on March 13th that 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was found “under the influence of an unknown substance” during an apparent overdose at the Mondrian Hotel on Miami Beach, there was unsubstantiated speculation that the married father of three was involved in an extramarital gay affair with two men.

According to a Miami Beach police report, one of the three men present during the overdose was Andrew Gillum, and that “three small plastic bags” of “suspected crystal meth” were found in the room. One of the men in the room, Aldo Mejias, told police that the other man, Travis Dyson, collapse moments after he opened the door for him and that he witnessed Gillum vomiting in the bathroom.

The Floridian has obtained a picture (above) of a sleeping or unconscious naked black man that eerily resembles Andrew Gillum and is lying on a towel that looks as if it was vomited on.

Pay close attention to the grey tile.

*** UPDATE- After receiving a cease and desist letter from his attorney’s, our attorney advised us to out of respect for Mr. Gillum’s family, take down the picture of the man who we stated: “eerily resembles Andrew Gillum.” You are not going to believe what the letter says.

A day or so after the incident, The Floridian requested the body cam footage from the two police officers that arrived at the hotel room shortly after paramedics began administering first aid.

Miami Beach Police told The Floridian this past Friday that their records division was closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We followed up several times with the Records office but our emails and calls were not returned.

The Daily Mail has reported and published several pictures they say were taken inside of the hotel room. The Floridian went to the Mondrian hotel to confirm the pictures, and after being granted access to one of the rooms (not the same room of the incident) the tile throughout the room appeared to be the same that is pictured above and seen in the Daily Mail’s pictures.

Take a look at the Daily Mail picture of the bathroom. There are towels with yellow vomit stains pushed up against the back wall where someone seems to have taken the picture of passed out black man.
