[FLORIDIANPRESS] Andrew Gillum’s lawyers have now confirmed that it was him who was lying on the tile floor and apparently "under the influence of an unknown substance" during an apparent overdose at the Mondrian Hotel on Miami Beach," as we posted here.According to Alex Spiros, an attorney at Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP in New York City, in a cease and desist letter our news outlet received from his firm regarding the overdose incident at the Mondrian Hotel on Miami Beach that involved Gillum, our story was a "violation of Mr. Gillum’s privacy rights" and was "merely an appeal to prurient interests, and serves no legitimate news-related purpose."
Spiros confirmed it was Gillum by failing to deny the accuracy of the identification as well as acknowledging his client is in rehab for substance abuse problems.
