Liberty: Falwell agreed to resign, then reversed course

Falwell issued a lengthy statement to The Washington Examiner on Sunday, publicly disclosing the affair and saying the man involved had been threatening to reveal the relationship “to deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies.”

“Over the course of the last few months this person’s behavior has reached a level that we have decided the only way to stop this predatory behavior is to go public,” said the statement, which was provided to The Associated Press on Monday.

In his statement, Falwell said he and his wife met the man she had an affair with during a vacation over eight years ago. The man was working at the hotel where the Falwells stayed, the statement said.

“Shortly thereafter, Becki had an inappropriate personal relationship with this person, something in which I was not involved – it was nonetheless very upsetting to learn about,” Falwell said in the statement. He declined further comment when reached Monday.

Throwing your five under the bus for 45 minutes of delayed bad press. Nice.

Last I heard, Jimmy Swaggart was role playing as a pool boy.

And, he’s gone.

Jerry Falwell Jr. agreed to resign from Liberty University, and then reversed...

Seriously, I’m seeing Roger Stone’s fingerprints all over this. He and his wife Nydia are into the same kink (they were outed in 1996 while he was senior strategist to the Dole campaign), and they live in Miami, where the Falwells met the poolboy.

Falwell’s endorsement of Trump was a big surprise to many, and a major factor in Trump’s victory (due to gaining the support of evangelicals).

A bimboy (himbo?) may have swayed the 2016 election.

Aww, I hope he still speaks at the RNC.

Floor show.

Aww, I hope he still speaks at the RNC.

Sounds like he’s more likely to just want to watch from behind a partially-closed door.

Point of confusion: the Forbes article says the Falwells met their young friend in 2018. I assume this is a typo. because the article also says:

• Granda was 20 when he met them; and
• Granda is now 29

So I assume they met in 2011 or so, and 2018 is a typo.

If this is not a typo, it pretty much rules out any blackmail.

According to this Reuters article, the affair started in March 2012.

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.

Thanks for this.

He’ll be back. You can’t keep a conman huckster evangelist from rising from THE ASHES OF SIN™ and asking for forgiveness (and a whole bunch of money). The redemption plot is so hackneyed, only Hallmark could give it life. (Jim and Tammy Faye, Swaggart, etc…).

Since they don’t believe in Og, hell, Jesus; there’s no actual downside for their actions. Grifting is their only calling; their ego-driving drug of choice.

Swaggart actually has his own channel.

SBN - Sonlife Broadcasting Network

No, it’s not for dyslexic Rush fans; it’s 24-7 Swaggart programming, also featuring his son and grandson, and Frances with lots of hair dye, Botox, and lens filters to make her look like she’s 25. I only know this because I stumbled onto it while channel surfing, and yes, it’s on my local lineup. We can also pretty safely assume they never show this.

Jimmy Swaggart I have sinned

This whole Falwell thing sounds like the “plot” of an amateur 80s porno movie.

[nearwildheaven]

I’d actually watch that, just to see if it’s for real.

[BobLibDem]

When you mention Roger Stone I pictured him getting pumped in the ass while the other guy kisses his Nixon tattoo.

Falwell is as big a con man and phony as his old man. I often wonder what a degree from Liberty entitles you to do, other than become a con man yourself.

[HammondsCollapse]

Damn even Ted Haggard must be shaking his head at this one!
