‘Jerry Enjoyed Watching’: Falwell’s Pool Boy Says His ‘Intimate Relationship’ Involved Husband and Wife
The man known as Jerry Falwell Jr.’s pool boy says he had a sexual relationship with Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife Becki Falwell, which began nine years ago when he was just 20 years old.
“Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Giancarlo Granda told Reuters in an interview. The news outlet describes Granda as a “business partner” of the conservative Christian couple.
“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.”
Becki Falwell “served on the advisory board of the group Women for Trump, which advocates for the president’s reelection campaign.” Jerry Falwell, Jr. was among the first of the nation’s evangelicals to endorse Donald Trump, paving the road for others to follow.
What is described as a business relationship that soured led to the revelations over the past 24 hours.
Sunday night Falwell released a lengthy statement announcing his wife had had a “fatal attraction” affair.
“Becki had an inappropriate personal relationship with this person, something in which I was not involved,” Falwell wrote.
