What is God Forbid on Hulu about?

According to the streaming service, the “revealing documentary” recounts the somewhat threesome relationship between former pool attendant Giancarlo Granda, Becki Falwell, and her “Evangelical Trump stalwart” husband, Jerry Falwell Jr. The former Miami pool boy at the Fountainbleau Hotel shares details about his seven-year relationship with the couple. But the story isn’t just about an affair – it’s also about how that relationship influenced a presidential election.

Who are the Falwells?

Jerry was the former president of Liberty University, a private evangelical school. According to CNN, he resigned from the university in 2020 after news of the affair came out. However, he and his wife Becki have continued to say that Jerry was “not involved” in the affair.

This is the opposite of what Granda alleges in the documentary. He states that Jerry would watch Granda and his wife having sex multiple times. The Falwells said the former pool attendant blackmailed them, but Granda has denied those claims. Both Jerry and Becki declined to be interviewed, CNN reports. The husband and wife are still married.
