In a claim likely to intensify the controversy surrounding one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, a business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr has come forward to say he had a years-long sexual relationship involving Falwell’s wife and the evangelical leader.If it wasn't for the fact that Falwell has, for decades, been one of those Bible-thumping moralists, ready to castigate anyone and everyone who doesn't measure up to his moral yardstick, nobody would really care about this.
Giancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.
Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.
But since Spawn of Falwell has a long history of being racist, misogynistic and homophobic, it's high time to see this guy hoisted by his own petard.
Jiggalos are just as important as Jezabelles.
ReplyDeleteFalwell Jr. is claiming that the "erratic behavior" that has sidelined him from his Liberty University position was brought on by stress from threats by Mr. Pool Boy to go public with the story.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess now he's all good again?
Sounds like Michael Cohen wasn't lying about this stuff, so I wonder what all else he wasn't lying about?

Heh, Falwell.....the strident “Christian” was in actuality a cuckold? Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose evangelicals, every time they talk of sin they are talking
ReplyDeletefrom a position of expertize. AS in they've done it before. If
they haven't they will project the deepest dark parts of their
sick minds.
We can also talk of the cult of personality is names like bakker, falwell
and so on. so called religious icons of wealth and fame.
I call the religious right and the Rethugs the unholy alliance. They
claim they own goodness and they are patently evil. They are the
plain example of what the word corrupt means.
Eck!
