Former pool boy reveals explicit details of how Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife allegedly enticed him with sex and claims the former Liberty University president watched: 'They're freaks'



A former Miami pool boy is dishing explicit details about the affair he had with former Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife, Becki Falwell. An upcoming book and documentary breathed new life into the world-rocking scandal that started 20 years ago.

Falwell Jr.'s fall from grace happened in 2020 when Reuters exposed the affair between his wife and a pool attendant. Falwell Jr. was forced to resign as president of Liberty University – one of the largest Christian universities in the world.

The former pool boy – Giancarlo Granda – is publicizing scandalous revelations of the longtime tryst from 20 years ago to promote a new book and documentary film.

"They have a public image, but behind the scenes, they're freaks," Granda said in the trailer for the upcoming Hulu documentary "God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty."

Granda previously worked as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. While working as a pool boy on March 13, 2012, Becki Falwell allegedly began flirting with Granda – who was 20 at the time.

Granda said he had no idea who the mysterious older woman was.

"As a pool attendant, I would get hit on," Granda added. "But if I would have known that accepting this woman’s invitation to go back to her hotel room would have led to a scandal involving the president of the largest Christian university in the world, and the president of the United States, I would have walked away and just enjoyed my private life."

Of the first time meeting her, Granda described Becki as in "her mid-forties, attractive, fit, and very charismatic."

He claimed that Becki told him, "Oh, these girls don’t know what they’re doing. You need someone older."

He responded by flirting back.

In his upcoming book “Off the Deep End: Jerry and Becki Falwell and the Collapse of an Evangelical Dynasty," Granda wrote, "It all seemed innocent enough, but then near the end of my shift, she asked me to sit down next to her on the daybed, where nobody could hear us, and in a conspiratorial tone asked me, 'Hey, do you want to come back to my room?'"

Granda alleged that Becki informed him, "There’s just one thing . . . My husband wants to watch.”

After Granda purportedly hesitated on the offer to have an affair with a married woman, Becki allegedly reassured him, "Oh don’t worry, he’ll hide in the corner and watch us. That’s his thing. You won’t even know he’s there."

Granda wrote in his book, "By way of explanation, she said that she and her husband had visited Miami Velvet, a local swingers club in Doral. A lot of swingers stayed at the Fontainebleau, so Miami Velvet was well known to all of us who worked there."

Granda claimed that he met the couple at a Days Inn later that night for the rendezvous.

"Jerry lay on the one closest to the door, dressed, but with his jeans unbuttoned and fanned open so you could see his underwear; shoes off, with his shirtsleeves rolled up to the elbows," Granda alleged in his book.

"I kissed Becki, and she was practically vibrating," Granda said. "I picked her up and carried her over to the second bed. She was surprisingly light. She wasn’t wearing any panties, which is the kind of thing that makes an impression on you at twenty, and she half whispered, 'Our rule is anything but intercourse.'"

Granda said after the sexual encounter Becki "was buzzing, electric, and Jerry continued to giggle with excitement."

The next day, Granda said that Becki called him to have another sexual tryst, and he agreed.

The Miami romp led to a six-year affair.

Granda said Falwell's children "had no idea that their dad liked to record his wife having sex with me."

Falwell even made Granda a business partner.

The Falwells have not denied Granda's allegations of an affair with Becki, but Jerry said he was not part of the relationship. The Falwells alleged that the former pool boy attempted to extort them to keep their secret quiet.

Liberty Students Divided On Falwell Scandal, Grapple With Balancing Justice And Grace

Students disagree about whether Falwell should have been asked to leave sooner, and whether more change is still needed from the university's leadership.

Pool boy claims Jerry Falwell Jr. shared a pic of 'a female Liberty University student exposing herself'



The former pool boy and business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr. has lodged further accusations against the former president of Liberty University, accusing Falwell of being "a predator" and sending him a picture of a female student of the evangelical institution "exposing herself."

What are the details?

In a Reuters report released Monday, Giancarlo Granda, 29, alleged that the affair with Falwell's wife, Becki, began when he was 20 and a pool attendant, and it lasted for several years. He also claimed that Jerry Falwell Jr. would watch as the two had sex.

The Falwells have both acknowledged that Becki engaged in the affair, but denied Jerry's involvement and accused Granda of attempting to extort them. Jerry Falwell Jr. confirmed his resignation Tuesday from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

On Tuesday evening, Granda released a statement accusing the Falwells of lying and attempting to "discredit" him, and denied he had any financial benefit for coming forward before making further accusations against Falwell, a well-known Christian leader who co-founded a think tank called the Falkirk Center for Faith and Liberty with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Granda wrote:

The Falwell's (sic) would have you believe that I seduced Becki into an affair, without Jerry's knowledge, and then spent the intervening 7 years trying to extort them. Of course, the truth is, they approached me. She invited me to their hotel room. They offered me an equity partnership in a property venture. They brought me on multiple trips and vacations, including to their family farm in Virginia. And as recently as last year, participated in video calls where Mrs. Falwell was naked and Jerry was watching.

The reality is Jerry Falwell is a predator. I know this because he sent me an image of a female Liberty University student exposing herself at their farm. This is not appropriate conduct for someone who up until this week, has been charged with overseeing the well-being of thousands of vulnerable and impressionable students.

What about Falwell's 'compensation'?

Ahead of Granda's statement, Falwell — who was already on an indefinite leave of absence from Liberty University over another scandal — told The Wall Street Journal, "I didn't break any rules — I get my full compensation."

The outlet reported that a source familiar with Falwell's contract estimates the former university president is looking at a golden parachute estimated at around $10.5 million over the next two years.

Falwell, 58, confirmed that amount to The Washington Post, disclosing that he would receive $2.5 million over the next two years, and roughly $8 million in retirement after that.

Pool boy claims he had an affair with Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife — and that Falwell would watch



A former business partner and "pool boy" for Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. claims that he engaged in regular sexual encounters with the university leader's wife, Becki Falwell, over the course of several years — and that Falwell would often watch the two have sex.

What are the details?

Speaking with Reuters, Giancarlo Grandam alleged that his relationship with the Falwells, which began when he was 20, spanned seven years before it eventually soured.

Here's more from the report:

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.

Granda reportedly shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call he had with the Falwells in 2019 in which "Becki was naked as the two discussed their relationship while Jerry peeked from behind a door."

He also shared a screenshot of a text from 2012 in which Becki Falwell allegedly told him: "Right now I am just missing you like crazy .... Have you had this effect on all of your lady friends?"

What else?

Sunday night, ahead of the report's release, Falwell issued a statement to the Washington Examiner confirming that his wife "had an inappropriate personal relationship with [Granda]" but claimed it was short-lived and denied any personal involvement.

In the statement, he also accused Granda of attempting to extort the couple for several years by threatening to go public about the affair unless he was paid large sums of money.

"Even years after the improper relationship had ended, this person continued to be aggressive with Becki and me in a variety of ways. We finally decided that we had to further withdraw completely from him, which resulted in him stepping up his threats," Falwell said. "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."

"I'm just tired of it," Falwell reportedly added regarding the anxiety he's felt over the situation. "It's just got to end."

In the Reuters article, Granda denied the accusations of extortion. In response to the outlet, Falwell's lawyer, Michael Bowe, said Falwell "categorically denies everything you indicated you intend to publish about him."

Anything else?

The allegation follows another controversy surrounding one of America's most publicly visible conservative evangelicals.

Early this month, Falwell agreed to step down from his post at Liberty University indefinitely at the request of the school's board of trustees after he was hit with backlash for posting a since-deleted vacation photo on Instagram of him and his wife's assistant, both with their pants partially unzipped.

In the post's caption, Falwell wrote, "More vacation shots. Lots of good friends visited us on the yacht. I promise that's just black water in my glass. It was a prop only."

Falwell would later tell a local radio station the photo was "just in good fun." He said his wife's assistant was pregnant and couldn't get her pants zipped up so he joined her.
