Well, like the Good Book says, Pride comes before a fall...

BEDFORD Co., Va. (WSET) -- A few days after resigning as Liberty University's president, Jerry Falwell Jr. was injured in a fall after drinking, according to a 911 call obtained by WSET.
According to the 911 call, on Sunday, Aug. 30, Falwell was reportedly injured and his wife, Becki Falwell, called 911 to report he had fallen down the stairs and was bleeding.
"It was night time and he fell from the stairs and there's a lot of blood right now," Becki told the Bedford County dispatcher.
According to the call, Becki said that Falwell had been drinking but wouldn't say if he was "drinking heavily" when the dispatcher asked.
“I’m not going to answer that question,” she said.
When the dispatcher restated the question, stating she was just trying to help them, Becki said he may have had "just a little bit."
When the dispatcher asked for her name, Becki said, “the more I tell you, the name, the more you’re going to understand why we’re not talking to you right now, I'm sorry."
Falwell resigned Monday, Aug. 24. after reports said his wife had a sexual relationship with another man.
He said the affair only lasted for a short time and the two reconciled quickly. Falwell claims the affair sent him into a depression he said was “like living on a roller coaster.”
On Aug. 31, Liberty’s board of trustees announced an investigation of Falwell's tenure as president. That same day Bedford County dispatchers received a 911 call from Becki.
Becki said Falwell didn't want to go to the hospital because he was being stubborn. She stated he was bleeding from the head, ear, and nose.
According to a dispatch log obtained by ABC13, the first responder who went to the Falwells' home that night reported Falwell had cuts on his face and slurred speech.
The log said the cuts were reportedly from a trash can that had empty alcohol containers in it.
A family friend of the Falwells told ABC13 that alcohol was not a factor in the fall.
They say Jerry lost his footing on steps inside the home and sustained a bad cut to the face. Becki tended to the wound and they both went to bed.
The family friend adds that a few hours later, Jerry woke up with blood all over his face, pillow, and sheets.
Out of an abundance of caution, Becki called 911 for an ambulance. The family friend notes that under pressure from the dispatcher, she noted that Jerry had consumed alcohol, but he only had some wine after the fall to help relax.
The family friend adds that Jerry only received a bandage for his cuts and did not go to the hospital.
Ok, then.
Fwiw, the actor William Holden bled to death after falling and hitting his head. He was intoxicated.
That photo is the least of it
Allegedly watching his wife bang a man half her age is pretty salacious even for non religious leaders
You’re right
Omg! Is the pool boy all right?!?
Some people can drink a gallon of whisky and still not want to sit and watch their wife do the pool boy. It’s not the alcohol.
This guy needs to re-evaluate his occupational calling. Christian Ed ain’t it.
You figured it out. Congrats.
I fall when I stop drinking.
The children of such preachers are not all “Saints” as we wish them to be “Like Father like Son”
The sons of the Prophet SAMUEL became judges and sold their judgement for money.
Grown *ss Man. God Lord. Make It Stop!

Omg! Is the pool boy all right?!?

I think he is doing OK now...
I think that he is feeling better after telling the reporters his story...
I don’t think Jerry paid Mr. Granda, the pool boy, any money yet...
Mr. Granda really wants to get out of the business partnership with Jerry...They have some hostel business in Florida...

I agree...It is something else...
Mr. Granda described his first meeting with Jerry...On ABC’s Good Morning America...
He went to the hotel room because Becki invited him...Jerry was on the bed...He was drunk...He was giggling...
