911 Call From Intoxicated Jerry Falwell Jr.'s House Last Month Describes 'A Lot Of Blood'

Huffington Post

One week after Reuters published an explosive report on an alleged sexual and financial relationship between Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife and a Miami man named Giancarlo Granda, responders were called to the Falwells’ house in Bedford County, Virginia.

According to records and 911 audio obtained by HuffPost, on the night of Aug. 30, Jerry Falwell Jr. was intoxicated and apparently injured; his wife, Becki Falwell, described “a lot of blood right now.”

Alcohol use lurked behind the series of scandals that led Jerry Falwell Jr. to resign as president of Liberty University last month. He initially announced a leave of absence from Liberty, a private evangelical university founded by his father, Jerry Falwell Sr., on Aug. 7 after he posted a racy photo on Instagram with his pants unzipped, and his arm around a woman with her midriff exposed. A dark drink was in his hand, which he later claimed was “black water” that was “a prop only.” Liberty University stringently forbids alcohol use by students.

Jerry Falwell Jr. resigned as president of Liberty on Aug. 25, one day after Reuters published a story on Granda’s allegations he had a yearslong sexual relationship with Becki Falwell, with the approval of her husband, and that also led to some interlocking business relationships. In other news accounts, Granda claimed that the Falwells’ “lavish lifestyle consisted of heavy drinking and going to nightclubs, which is strictly prohibited by the honor code that they expect everyone else to follow.”

Why has it taken this long to appear in the news? I wonder how many people were paid off before?

He probably cut it off because he will never be able to get a boner in his life, due to that fact. I mean, seriously. Who could if that asshole was their daddy?

As a gay man, it infuriates me how people like Falwell Jr have the undiluted gall to label my "lifestyle" as sinful and judge me from their pulpit, then turn right around and behave like this. I can tell you, my "lifestyle" is quite bland compared to what I am seeing from this bozo.
