August 24, 2020
By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
Jerry Falwell, Jr. says his wife Becki Tilley had an affair with a young man known to the public as the couples pool boy and says he was threatening to expose the relationship.
Falwell spoke with and released a statement to the Washington Examiners Secrets column, which notes the former Liberty University president did not name the man, but he has been identified as Giancarlo Granda in dozens of news stories.
Once the affair was over, Falwell says, we tried to distance ourselves from him over time, but he unfortunately became increasingly angry and aggressive. Eventually, he began threatening to publicly reveal this secret relationship with Becki and to deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies.
The Examiner says Granda, who was 21 at the time, dismissed the charges of threats in an email to Secrets. He emailed, any allegation of extortion is falsely, defamatory and belied by clear documentary evidence. The Falwells attempt to sandbag me, and the Examiner, with a last minute story without providing the Examiner clear evidence that this was not simply an affair with concocted allegations of extortion reeks desperation. The WHOLE truth will come out.'

(630 posts)unless there's something else you're trying to head off. Some people are saying Jerry set the whole thing up; that he's a watcher. People will have to look into that... sound familiar, Falwell hypocrites?
Ooopsie, got caught.

(15,383 posts)Because I'm not buying it, but the ultimate takeaway is you dont hire a dude named Giancarlo as a poolboy. That's just asking for shenanigans and hanky-panky. You hire a service run by some 60-something dude named Earl, a cheapskate who hires skinny gawky teenagers every summer.

.. "2012, Falwell and his wife Becki visited the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. While there, they befriended a 21-year-old pool attendant named Giancarlo Granda. Granda soon began traveling with the Falwells, both to their home of Virginia to hike and water ski, according to the Times, and to the Cheeca Lodge in the Florida Keys, according to the Herald. The latter paper published photos of the trip to the Keys, with Granda smiling next to Falwell, the two looking like father and son. Just months after the friendship commenced, the Falwells offered to help Granda, who had practically no business experience, set up a venture in Miami. After consulting with his friend Jesus Fernandez Jr. and Fernandezs father, they agreed to open a hostel. Falwell ponied up $1.8 million.
Why did Falwell (who was nearly 50 at the time) and his wife invite a 21-year-old hotel pool boy to travel with them on multiple occasions, and then put up seven figures for him to open up a hostel in Miami Beach that Politico described as a cesspool of vice?"...(more)

(44,973 posts)I would think that normally a husband wouldn't want a very hunky pool boy to hang around his wife. But Falwell and his wife took the pool boy to their travels and then put up a large amount of money to help the pool boy with a business venture? It's hard to buy Falwell's claim that his wife had an affair with the pool boy, without Falwell knowing, making Falwell a victim of said affair.

(13,466 posts)That he was going to throw his wife under the bus at some point then back up! I always figured a threesome. But he will never admit his own partaking.

(10,271 posts)Jerry, there's not a liberal in america that gives a damn about what you put into your mouth. It's what comes OUT that concerns us.
See, not only is it just fine by us that that's totally YOUR pool boy, and not the wifes, it's kinda also ok with us that rather than own this 100 percent NOT a crime, you chose instead to cop to being a straight-up, poolboy-owned bitched CUCK! (props to my man TheFerret there).
They must get off on the self-owns somehow. Because otherwise, this level of stupid (straight, no chaser) would be enough to drive a Proud Boy to masturbate.
