Falwell is a really good case study. He did everything they asked, and has still been destroyed. A very foolish man.

(8,031 posts)Falwell is married to Becki Tilley.[2] They have three children, among them businessman Jerry "Trey" Falwell III, and live on a farm in Bedford County, Virginia.[2] On August 23, 2020, Falwell announced in a public statement that Becki had had an "improper relationship" several years earlier with a man who later threatened to reveal the affair "unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies".[37][38] On August 24, 2020, Giancarlo Granda told Reuters that, from March 2012 and continuing into 2018, he had sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell watched in the same room. Granda showed Reuters text messages and emails that show the sexual nature of his relationship with them.[30]

(81,508 posts)Business partner of Falwells says affair with evangelical power couple spanned seven years
Giancarlo Granda says his sexual relationship with the Falwells began when he was 20. He says he had sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell Jr, head of Liberty University and a staunch supporter of President Trump, looked on.

WASHINGTON 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 Falwells wife and the evangelical leader.
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.
His friendship with the Falwells eventually soured, Granda told Reuters, in part because he wanted to dissolve his ties with the couple and fell into a business dispute with them.

That's what the pool boy says, anyway.
Jokes aside, I love that this fucking hypocrite has trashed himself.
