Former Florida Governor candidate Andrew Gillum was caught in a scandal that found him entering rehab for depression and alcoholism after he was found in unresponsive in a hotel room where he was reportedly drunk and half-dressed. The scandal revealed that Gillum was allegedly in the room with a gay male escort, and the former rising star in the Democratic Party was passed out from an alleged crystal meth overdose. Now in an interview with Tamron Hall, Gillum has addressed the incident along with his sexuality.

Gillum said, “I don’t identify as gay. I identify as bisexual. I’ve never shared that publicly before.” Gillum also addressed a photo that surfaced of him lying naked on a hotel room floor, saying, “When that photo came out, I didn’t recognize the person on the floor, that was not anything more than a person being at their most vulnerable state, unconscious, having given no consent, and someone decided to use a moment where I was literally lying in my own vomit.” Watch above.
