Andrew Gillum: I'm Bisexual!

Tamron Hall talks to Andrew Gillum and his wife about the night that destroyed his political career.

It was pretty obvious from the pictures he's posted on social media.

In the premiere of Tamron Hall's daytime talk show, former Tallahassee mayor and Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum comes out the closet. He tells the host that he's bisexual.

"I don't identify as gay, but I do identify as bisexual," Gillum told Hall. "That is something I've never publicly shared before."

Gillum is married to R. Jai Gillum and has three children. Apparently, R. Jai was angered by the whole ordeal, she is considering divorcing him. For now, she's still with him as they arrange for spousal and child support to handled by the court.

So apparently in she knew he was bisexual.... I don't buy it.

"So many people don't understand bisexuality. Bisexuality is just something different. I just believe that love and sexuality exist on a spectrum. All I care about is what's between us and what agreement we make."

Hall shares the news on social media.

Words never shared publicly until this moment #TamronHallShow “I identify as bisexual”. - @AndrewGillum

Gillum made the news last year when he was found apparently naked in a hotel room in Miami Beach with two openly gay men, a bag of crystal meth and a lot of signs of a binge party. Gillum at first claimed he went to a bachelor's party for a friend in Miami Beach and it got out of hand. It turns out that he arranged a tryst with a male prostitute at the hotel.

The male prostitute overdosed on alcohol and meth.

He went off the radar and was let go from CNN shortly after the incident went viral.

Gillum who was within striking distance of becoming Florida's first African American governor would have been compromised by the far-right due to his antics. He is a grown man and is entitled to do whatever he wants. But given that he wanted to raise his profile in politics, folks probably saw the writing on the wall when he was under federal watch while mayor of Tallahassee.

Gillum came under the feds radar when his "friend" Adam Corey snitched on him. The feds were looking into history of Gillum's expenses while mayor and candidate.

Gillum used that money to arrange secret gay trips to Costa Rica, New York City and Miami Beach.

Gillum was angered by The Daily Mail and other tabloids releasing that image of him naked on the floor covered in vomit.

Tamron Hall asks Gillum to open up about the night he was found naked in a hotel room.

"When that photo came out, I didn't recognize the person on the floor," he said. "That was not anything more than a person being at their most vulnerable state, unconscious, haven given no consent, and someone decided to use a moment where I was literally lying in my own vomit."

What the Miami-Dade County detectives saw was apparently a nearly dead man on the floor high on meth and alcohol. They took the picture only as evidence of a criminal act and possible autopsy.

So asked about him cheating on R. Jai with other men and women, Gillum didn't admit to this but said: "Bisexuality in and of itself doesn't lead to unfaithfulness. There are men who are in marriages with women who just because they're married to women doesn't mean they're attracted to other women, and at any point can slip up, make a mistake, do something, and that is what it is. The same thing in bisexual relationships."

"You can be attracted to both, you got a bigger terrain out there that you have to contend with, but you can still choose to be physically with one person."

Gillum's special friend told the feds that Gillum spend taxpayer money on their fling.

Gillum claimed that he went into a deep depression and went to an alcoholic and drug treatment center shortly after.

Hall, 50 celebrates her second season of her talk show. With COVID-19 hurting the entertainment industry, Hall and many other talk show hosts are trying to find other ways to get audiences. Hall used to work for NBC and MSNBC until 2017. She was bumped for that far-right agitator Megyn Kelly. The agitator hosted a daytime show that didn't last the full season. She made racist comments about blackface and Black athletes. After she was forced off the air, the agitator went to making podcast and interviewing controversial figures like Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade.

Kelly is a washed up celebrity.

Tamron Hall predicted that Megyn Kelly would fail. 

It's been rough for daytime television and scripted shows.
