A new Hulu documentary is on the way about Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife Becki, and Giancarlo Granda, the former Miami pool attendant at the heart of their sex scandal, which led to Falwell’s resignation as president of Liberty University. Granda said in the opening moments of the trailer for God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty:
“As a pool attendant, I would get hit on. But if I would have known that accepting this woman’s invitation to go back to her hotel room would have led to a scandal involving the president of the largest Christian university in the world, and the President of the United States, I would have walked away and just enjoyed my private life.”
Granda later added:
“They have a public image, but behind the scenes, they’re freaks. If they wanted to make me disappear, they could do it.”
The Falwells met then-20-year-old Granda, who began a sexual relationship with Becki, in 2012 while visiting the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami. Granda previously told Reuters that he had an affair with Becki while Falwell Jr. watched. Both Falwell Jr. and Becki have denied his involvement and accused Granda of trying to blackmail them, which he has denied. In the trailer, Granda alleged that Falwell Jr. “liked to record his wife having sex with me.”
“I know the truth about them, and the whole world is going to find out.”

After People reached out for a comment regarding the allegations made by Granada, Becki Falwell said:
“This is not correct.”
She went on to reference comments she made in a January interview with Vanity Fair, in which she admitted to filming sex tapes with Granda:
“I had a big Canon camera. A couple of times I put it on the dresser and Giancarlo agreed to it.”
However, it was Granda’s Reuters interview, as well as an Instagram photo scandal, that put Falwell Jr. on an “indefinite leave of absence” from his roles as president and chancellor of Liberty University, leading to his official resignation in August 2020.
God Forbid is produced by Adam McKay and Billy Corben, who is also directing. Corben exclusively tells People:
“We watched this play out in real time a couple of years ago and thought we knew the whole story. But if you think this is just a salacious sex scandal involving a former pool boy and the president and first lady of the largest Christian university in the world, you don’t know the half of it.”
