Off the Deep End

Jerry and Becki Falwell and the Collapse of an Evangelical Dynasty

About this book

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 follows is a story of coercion, power, and secrets—the kind that can change the course of an election.


  • A Political Scandal: The true story of the Miami pool attendant who began a years-long relationship with Becki and Jerry Falwell Jr., pulling back the curtain on a world of profound hypocrisy.
  • The Michael Cohen Connection: Discover the role Trump’s fixer Michael Cohen played in trying to bury the story—and how the fallout may have helped secure the 2016 presidential election.
  • Inside Liberty University: A firsthand account of the Falwell dynasty’s private fiefdom, the double standards at play, and the culture that led to Jerry’s forced resignation from the world’s largest evangelical university.
  • A Story of Coercion: From secret recordings and veiled threats to an orchestrated campaign to diminish him, Granda reveals the tactics used to keep him silent for years.
