The fallout from the Jerry Falwell pool boy sex scandal continues.
A judge has upheld most of a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed against the disgraced evangelical leader by his former employer, Liberty University, in the aftermath of last summer’s scandal.
Last Friday, Lynchburg Circuit Judge Fred Watson denied Falwell’s attorneys motions to have the case dismissed, which means it’s one step closer to going to trail, where things will no doubt get very, very ugly.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As you may recall, Falwell resigned from his job as president of the university in August 2020 after his former pool boy, Giancarlo Granda, said he engaged in a years-long sexual relationship with Falwell’s wife, Becki, and that Jerry would sometimes participate in their sexcapades as a voyeur.
Becki admitted to the affair, but Jerry denied being a participant.
In April 2021, Liberty University filed a 74-page breach of contract lawsuit accusing Fawell of withholding “damaging information” when he renegotiated his contract in 2019 and choosing “personal protection” over “his clear duties as an executive and officer.”
The lawsuit also accused him of “excessive use of alcohol” and hanging onto personal property, including “confidential information,” belonging to the university.
In addition to unsuccessfully trying to get the case dismissed, ABC News reports that Falwell’s attorney asked that “certain pictures and statements” not be admitted into evidence because they are “rife with, frankly, personal attacks.”

What sort of “pictures and statements”, you ask? That’s a very good question!
It could be that weird photo of Falwell on a yacht with his pants open that he posted to Instagram last summer…
Or perhaps they are the alleged x-rated photos Reuters first reported on way back in May 2019, before the whole pool boy sex scandal broke open.
According to the outlet, in 2015, Falwell hired Donald Trump‘s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to help with an “embarrassing personal matter”:
Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy “personal” photographs–the sort that would typically be kept “between husband and wife.”
With Liberty’s lawsuit against Falwell moving forward, more details are likely to emerge, and we’re guessing none of them will make either party look good.

Fur_hunter’s rage is justified. This closeted, hypocritical creep Falwell Jr. has done so much damage pushing right-wing, anti-gay ideology, on Liberty students, across the US, and globally, and supporting anti-LGBTQ politicians, who as we read this site are actively pushing laws to strip LGBTQ people of equality and rights. Yet strangely enough, there’s so little anger against this horrid person. In fact, he should be buried with contempt for how he has used and abused the Bible and Christianity, and actively worked to make LGBTQ people’s lives a living hell!

I agree. Yes all these fakes get caught and their lives are ruined but IT ISNT ENOUGH because they have ruined countless lives with their LIES and deceit. I do hope their GOD does exist if only to send them straight to their hell

lol, Falwell & the strange evangelical freaks at Liberty U deserve EVERYTHING that comes out of this mess. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Openminded
Totally agree. Along with Falwell, Liberty should suffer for turning their back on his behavior for so long. Falwell needs to have to pay back BIG for his part, but it’s not genuine for Liberty to try and honestly say they didn’t realize he had all this crap going on for all these years. They just rode the jackass until the heat got too hot.

I don’t get it. If he wasn’t involved as he says then why does he care about the pictures so much?

I have admitted to this before on this site. I was at a university in the general vicinity of Liberty back in the 80’s and had sex (mutual oral) with Falwell Jr. I can assure you he didn’t just “watch” what was being done to Becki. And he does swallow.

Not surprising. I went to college, in Danville VA (early 80s), with JF Sr’s 1st cousin. He was openly gay. He was also the first guy I ever danced with. Not sure if he swallows, but he did did a nude spread in a gay mag.

Please RTG tell us more …..so do you think these photos will show him having sex with the pool boy? Has the pool boy admitted Falwell had sex with him. I can’t imagine them going to all this trouble if it were just pics with his wife.

I don’t care where he puts his mouth, hands, anus or penis. Rally I don’t.
