Synopsis:
Giancarlo Granda finally reveals the truth about his relationship with Becki Falwell and her husband Jerry Falwell Jr., and the hidden world of political influence, high finance, and criminal intrigue.
Jerry Falwell Jr. is a prominent figure in the evangelical world whose support for presidential candidate Donald J. Trump helped secure Trump's Republican nomination in 2016. He captured headlines when it was revealed that he and his wife Becki had participated in a years-long bizarre sexual relationship with a pool attendant they met at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach. As Falwell Jr. began to deny this relationship, even more damaging news came out, ultimately forcing him to resign as president of Liberty University, which many consider to be the largest evangelical Christian university in the world.
Giancarlo Granda is now ready to share the story of his years on an "only in America" rollercoaster ride through the monied corridors of power and profound hypocrisy.
What he reveals is a story of power, corruption, and manipulation that goes far deeper than the public ever knew.
- Abuse of Power: Discover the truth behind the years-long sexual arrangement and how the Falwells groomed a twenty-year-old pool attendant from the Fontainebleau Hotel.
- A Political Scandal: Go inside the Falwells’ inner circle and learn how their secret life played a role in the endorsement of Donald J. Trump, shaping the 2016 election.
- A Culture of Hypocrisy: Get a firsthand account of the double standards at Liberty University, from secret sex tapes and extortion attempts to backroom deals.
- The Fixer: Understand the role of Trump enforcer Michael Cohen, who was brought in to make the entire scandal—and the incriminating photos—quietly disappear.
