Jerry Falwell Apologizes For Pic Of Him With Unzipped Pants In Head-Scratching Interview
The influential evangelical leader said in a slurred voice, “I’ve apologized to everybody and I promised my kids, I’m gonna try to be a good boy from here on out.”


By David Moye

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. is apologizing for a photo that shows him and a woman posing with their pants unzipped.

The photo, which appears to have been posted to Falwell’s Instagram account, has since been deleted.

The influential evangelical leader called Lynchburg, Virginia radio station WLNI on Wednesday in an attempt to explain the photo.

“You know it was weird, ’cause she was, she’s pregnant, she couldn’t get her pants up, and I was, trying to like — my, I had on a pair of jeans I haven’t worn in a long time so I couldn’t get mine zipped either,” he said.

“And so I just put my belly — I just put my belly out like hers,” he added, explaining that the woman in the photo is his wife’s assistant and “a sweetheart.” “I should never have put it up and embarrassed her because, um, anyway, I’ve apologized to everybody and I promised my kids, I’m gonna try to be a good boy from here on out.”


Yeah, no. Promising to be a good boy may have cut it when you were 9 and stole a candy bar. When you are fiftyish and get caught shagging another man's pregnant wife? Not so much.

"honest honey, the zippers on our pants just fell down the moment the picture was snapped. I was just minding my own business and viola, There I was. Oh, and the black water, that's just my urinalysis sample".

RE: the woman in the photo. She appears to be the same woman identified as "Sarah" in a nasty Falwell, Jr. video that has been deleted but continues to circulate. Haven't the Falwell, Jrs. identified themselves as swingers?

She had her pants down, he had his pants down. They were in each other’s company. Neither one could get their pants back on fully.

Now that raises a question. If both of them had pants that didn’t fit, why didn’t they realize that before leaving their closet? I have had old shorts from years back among cloths in my closets. When I try on a pair, they fit or they don’t, I put on a pair that fits well and won’t rip when I bend over or not allow me to close my fly.

If it was some bad theme joke, he should say so, a lot of friends were in the room doing a skit and him and the woman did the one that was caught on camera.

I noticed that a set of extensive pictures taken on the boat showed a few mostly older men and a few young women. So was the group having a carnal party and some drunken reveler snapped a picture of him and the young woman post tryst, and the dumbass was too stupid to delete such a picture before posting the picture catalog?
