OK so there’s a LOT out there about accusations of a big ol meth-fueled orgy with Andrew Gillum. We here will try to present the truth of the facts and not the innuendo. Here’s what happened:
Andrew Gillum, who in 2018 came within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor, was discovered by police at a South Beach hotel early Friday morning in a room with bags of possible crystal meth and in the company of a man who appeared to have overdosed on drugs, according to a Miami Beach police report.
Police say they were called to the Mondrian South Beach early Friday morning and found paramedics treating Travis Dyson, a 30-year-old Miami man, for an apparent heart attack. They say two other men were in the room: Aldo Mejias and Gillum.
Police say Gillum, who was not arrested, was too intoxicated to answer questions. An offense incident report says that officers found three clear plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth on the bed and floor.
Yeahhhhh wow. So now people are taking that to mean he was in a big gay orgy with meth. We don’t know that this is true, we don’t know that this false. We only know that it is hilarious.
Here’s his statement about it:
“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.”
Mhmm. How that meth get there, Andrew? Wanna tell us more about that maybe?
According to police, Mejias told officers that he gave his credit card information to Dyson to rent the room and planned to meet him Friday evening. When he went to the room after 11 p.m., Mejias said he found Dyson and Gillum “under the influence of an unknown substance.”
Mejias, 56, said Dyson opened the door to Room 1107 to let him in and then collapsed on the bed. He said Dyson was having trouble breathing, so he woke him up. Dyson then vomited and collapsed again, so Mejias said he performed chest compressions on Dyson and called paramedics.
Mejias told police he saw Gillum, 40, vomit in the bathroom.
Very interesting. I’m sure he’s under a lot of pressure to say more about what actually happened, and I bet we will learn more eventually.
You can imagine how much fun Twitter had with this story:

Then there’s this idiot:
The @AndrewGillum headlines are very misleading. He was not in a seedy motel by himself. He was at high-end hotel with friends for a wedding. They were all intoxicated, as everyone in weddings are. Even if there was meth, it was on the floor. There were at least 3 people in room.
