Gordon, who is currently living in Florida with his mother, Michelle Gordon, has remained silent about the lawsuit and the investigation into the January incident that left his girlfriend unresponsive in a bathtub in her Atlanta-area home. The case was being handled by Roswell Police, but the Fulton County District Attorney's Office confirmed on June 25 that it is taking over the investigation.
