The pool boy who had an affair with Jerry Falwell Jr.’s wife said she first approached him at a Miami hotel and offered sex — so long as her husband could watch.
The beginning of the affair between then-20-year-old pool boy Giancarlo Granda and Becki Falwell is described in Granda’s upcoming book “Off the Deep End: Jerry and Becki Falwell and the Collapse of an Evangelical Dynasty.”
The six-year affair ended led to Jerry Falwell being forced to depart his post as president of Liberty University in 2020. He was subsequently sued by the college after Granda revealed his relationship along with his wife.
Granda was working on the ritzy Fontainebleau hotel in 2012, when Becki allegedly locked eyes with him as she sat by the pool in a bikini before she began flirting with him.
Granda, who had no clue who she or her husband were on the time, claimed he was shocked when she asked him if she wanted to return back to her room with him after he got off work.
“Once I didn’t say no straight away, she added, ‘There’s only one thing . . . My husband wants to look at,’” Granda wrote in an excerpt of the brand new book, co-written by Mark Ebner, provided to Rolling Stone.
“I used to be conflicted. On the one hand, she was in her bikini, touching her neck, fussing along with her hair, paying me compliments, sipping on her drink while she stared into my eyes. I discovered all of it very intriguing,”Granda, now 31, revealed. “However it was also weird and in contrast to anything I had ever done before.”
He asked Becki if just the 2 of them could meet alone at first, but she said it will go against an agreement she’d made along with her husband. He told her he’d give it some thought and let her know.
“Soon after, her husband got here down and joined us, and she or he introduced him as Jerry. He wore Speedo briefs, along with his belly hanging over his waistband,” Granda said within the book. “It was somewhat awkward, and he largely avoided eye contact, but he shook my hand and said, “Nice to satisfy you, Gian,” along with his thick southern accent. He pronounced Gian like ‘John,’ and this became his nickname for me for so long as I knew him.”
With some encouragement from his coworkers, he agreed to satisfy the Falwells at a Day’s Inn. He even phoned his sister to inform her what was happening “in case Becki and Jerry turned out to be serial killers. She thought the entire thing was hysterical.”
Granda met Becki within the hotel lobby, where she appeared nervous and was drinking whiskey out of a plastic cup, in line with the excerpt. The 2 made awkward small talk before heading upstairs, he claimed.
“On the time I had the impression that they had never done this before, but a decade later I believe that’s highly unlikely,” Granda said.
Within the room, Jerry, allegedly was drunk and laying down on one in all the 2 Queen sized beds, Granda recalled. “Hey Gian,” Falwell said to the pool boy, letting out a giggle.
Granda, nervous, allegedly told Jerry that if he was feeling jealous at any point to say something and he would stop — “But he told me, ‘Don’t worry about it. You guys do what you would like to do.’”
Becki and Jerry had one rule as a part of their arrangement: no sexual activity.
As a substitute, the Granda and Becki performed oral sex on one another while Jerry stared, and, at one point got too near comfort, the book claims.
“Sooner or later, Jerry got up and walked to the side of the bed to get a greater angle. I had a moment of near panic, considering, What’s he doing? and I told him to back off—not in a hostile way, just establishing some boundaries. He apologized and quickly walked back toward the doorway and stood right outside the toilet.”
Granda said that afterwards he was sure that the encounter was a one-time thing until he got a phone call from Becki the next day asking if he’d need to see her again.
“I paused, then thought, Why not?” Granda wrote.
The 2 continued the connection until 2018.
The widely publicized affair can also be the topic of an upcoming Hulu Series, “God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty,” which premieres on Nov. 1.
