‘Bus, meet Becki Falwell….Becki, this is the bus (you’re being thrown under)’: Disgust at Liberty University’s Jerry Fallwell for publicly denouncing wife’s ‘affair’ with pool boy when HE ‘was complicit and watching in corner’
- Jerry Falwell Jr. on Sunday said his wife Becki had an affair with pool boy Giancarlo Granda
- He claimed it devastated him but that they worked through it and that Granda has been trying to extort the family for years
- Granda says Jerry knew all about it and watched them having sex sometimes
- Now, Jerry – the head of Liberty University – is being slammed as a hypocrite
- He is also being slammed for trying to pin the entire scandal on Becki
Jerry Falwell Jr. has been admonished for blaming his family’s involvement with a pool boy entirely on his wife and claiming she cheated on him with the younger man when he allegedly watched them having sex.
Falwell Jr. released a statement on Sunday night claiming that only his wife Becki was involved Giancarlo Ganda, a pool boy who the pair met when he was 20 in 2012.
He said Becki and Giancarlo had an affair and that he’d chosen to forgive her for it, describing it as an ‘indiscretion’ that caused him to lose 80lbs when he discovered it because he was so upset.
However, Giancarlo spoke out on Monday to claim that not only did Jerry know about the affair, but that he watched them having sex.
He says he and Becki had sex multiple times a year in hotel rooms around the country for six years.

Twitter users exploded with criticism of Falwell Jr. for trying to pin the scandal on his wife
Now, Jerry – who was put on a leave of absence from the Christian college earlier this year – is being slammed for trying to pin the entire scandal on his wife.
Twitter users erupted in criticism of his ‘holier than thou’ statement.
They slammed him for not only trying to pin the debacle on his wife, but also for telling students at Liberty University to refrain from sex when he may have been participating in it outside of his marriage. He resigned as president of the school on Monday.
On Sunday night, Falwell Jr. released a lengthy statement to The Washington Examiner, claiming he and his wife were being extorted.
He did not name Giancarlo, but said the person had an affair with Becki.
He said the young man had also tried to do the same to other families, by targeting high profile women, and that he was a ‘predator’.
He said the family decided the only thing to do was to go public with their side of the story.
It came after a Reuters journalist, who Granda had been working with, confronted the family to ask for their comments on his claims.
Granda says he and Becki had a consensual affair, starting when he was 20 in 2012, and lasting until 2018.
He claims Jerry knew about it and sometimes ‘watched from the corner of the room’ while they had sex.
