Truth behind Jerry Falwell Jr.’s fall from grace
DISGRACED televangelist Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr.’s wife admits she made sex tapes of her bedroom romps with Giancarlo Granda, a pool boy half her age, during a steamy four-year affair that helped trigger her hubby’s fall.
“I had a big Canon camera. A couple of times I put it on the dresser and Giancarlo agreed to it,” reveals Becki Falwell, now 54, who insists her hubby wasn’t clued in about the X-rated tapes.
But Giancarlo claimed Falwell, then president of Virginia’s evangelical Liberty University, liked to sit and watch him and Becki, a mom of three, do the dirty, which the preacher denies.
However, Falwell, 59, confesses he DID walk in on the pair in a Miami hotel room and was “traumatized” by the steamy action.
Becki’s sizzling affair exploded in 2012 when the housewife and her hubby met Giancarlo, 21, a pool boy at a Miami hotel. The fling continued until 2016.
However, Becki claims Giancarlo forced her into a final romp in 2017 — atop her 25-year-old daughter Caroline’s bed!
She recalls, “I said, ‘No, no, no!’ I didn’t want to do it, but I was scared to death of him, too, because he was still holding everything over me, so we had sex.
“He left and I went into the room and just cried.”
The scandal led to Falwell’s 2020 ouster from the university, founded by his late dad, Jerry Sr., who also created the powerful right-wing political movement The
Moral Majority.
Now Jerry Jr. is claiming he took the male hormone testosterone to please his wife and blames the drug’s side effects for making him “combative,” which helped fuel the scandal.
Falwell, who invested $1.8 million in the pool boy’s plans for a gay resort, claims he was being extorted by Granda, who insists the pastor and his wife are lying. Granda will tell his side of the story in a Hulu production later this year.
Incredibly, Falwell’s marriage survived — and the couple claim they’re “more in love than ever.”
