Former Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife, Becki Falwell, had been involved in a notorious affair with Giancarlo Granda back in 2012 when Becki first met the pool attendant at the Miami hotel.
The Falwells have barred their point of view, but Granda has opened up for the first time in Hulu’s documentary, God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty. Before we get into what secrets Granda unveiled, let’s give you a quick recap of what went down.
In 2020, Reuters brought the story of Giancarlo Granda to light, who claimed Becki Falwell had an affair with the then 20-year-old. According to Granda, Jerry knew everything about it and even watched and pleasured himself in their presence. The scandalous couple lasted roughly seven years, and the news about it hit global headlines a year after its end.
After the news surfaced, the Falwells painted Granda as a gold-digger who threatened them via making the affair public. But Granda refuted his claims with substantial evidence proving his side of the story, and after that, Falwell jr. resigned from his post.
In 2021, the couple tried to slander Granda again, portraying him as an assaulter and claiming that Jerry wasn’t in on it since the beginning. Granda denied their claims and promised more detailed answers in his book and documentary.
The documentary, by director Billy Corben, released on Hulu on November 1, 2022, and fleshed out Granda’s side of the story and how the influential family scared him and even had the support of the president of the United States.
The documentary highlights the details of the affair as explained by Granda and his sister while commenting on the strong and terrifying influence of evangelical politics on a commoner.
The two-hour film ventures to show how the pool boy coped with the traumatizing affair, the aftermath of going public with it, and his life since then. It is a chilling look into the deep dark recesses of a wealthy powerful family.
God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty is now available exclusively on Hulu.
