Usually, I post about some of the best free porn videos, news in the adult industry, or give some advice on how to spice up your sex life. However, to keep things interesting, I occasionally like to upload a blog about something a little bit different.
In this one, we’re going to look at the famous religious celebrity types who have been caught literally and figuratively with their pants down. You know the people who want to tell the rest of us how to live and who we can fuck while being complete freaks in the sheets and thinking they can get away with it.
I’m sure you are all familiar with the pedo shit that Catholic clergy have engaged in, and virtually everyone knows about the series of affairs that Donald Trump has been involved in. I’ve already written a little bit about some other cases like the late Shelly Lubben’s wild escapades after she found Jay-sus.
But in light of Jerry Falwell Jr.’s recent fall from grace, I became inspired to look deeper into this phenomenon. So, I wanted to bring to light some of the funnier and frightening examples you may not know about.
Jimmy Swaggart
For some reason, the hyper-religious saw a boon in the United States during the 1980s, and, back in the heyday of cable television, we saw the rise of televangelists. In addition to Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, one of the most charismatic and successful of these grifters was Jimmy Swaggart.
As his ministry expanded to television in the 1980s, Swaggart praised the Lawrt and had his congregants pass the plate, which led to him becoming one of the wealthiest preachers in the States. Between his sermons, he also exposed the immorality of one of his fellow ministers, Marvin Gorman, who had engaged in multiple affairs in ‘86.
Gorman was swiftly defrocked and, in retaliation, a couple of years later, uncovered Jimmy’s affair with a prostitute named Debra Murphy. To make things even creepier, Swaggart tried to get Murphy’s nine-year-old daughter involved in their sex sessions!
Don’t get me wrong. I have no problem with **adult** hookers or having a fun time with freaky women. But what I do have a problem with is these unrepentant hypocrites who condemn those who like to experiment sexually while doing exactly that themselves.
If you haven’t seen it, YouTube the (in)famous “I have sinned speech” featuring Swaggart (not the Clinton one) after you read and share this blog. There is just something too good about seeing some grown “holy” man crying in public while apologizing for his peccadilloes.
You might even say that it’s so great it almost seems sinful. XD
Swaggart seemed to be all holy and sanctified after going the penitent route only to get busted soliciting another hooker in 1991.
Barnabas Piper and other PKs
As we know, the hyper-religious publicly take a hardline stance against divorce and cheating on their spouses. Of course, that hasn’t stopped them from flippantly doing exactly that like evangelist “Dr.” Kent Hovind, who split up with his wife after he got out of the clink. This led to Hovind being ostracized by his fellow Baptists, including the infamous Steven Anderson.
To be fair, though, it had nothing to do with him sleeping around with other women. Then again, I heard that while he was in jail for tax evasion and fraud, Hovind got on his knees to service Jesus everyday…in the prison showers.
Anyway, he’s not the only one who has split up with his wife, which has led to some big drama. Barnabas Piper, son of the rigidly religious pastor John Piper, rode on his father’s reputation and gained a following as a Calvinist clergyman.
Unfortunately for him, after eleven years of marriage, in 2017, Barnabas announced that he split up with his wife and blamed her for the relationship’s failure. Not being one to tolerate divorce or “wayward” children, Daddy Piper was not happy and went so far as to excommunicate his son.
To me, this whole thing is a bit ironic considering Barnabas means “the son of consolation.”
To be fair, he’s not the only one to preach on the sanctity of marriage while wrecking his own. His younger brother, Abraham, went through a similar affair, as did one of Billy Graham’s grandson, Tullian Tchividjian, too.
I guess it’s true what they say about PKs (AKA preacher’s kids) being more wild than average.
John B. Crist
I’ll be honest, this Crist is, or instead was a genuinely funny comedian – and I’m not comparing him to shitty religious comics. Even by mainstream standards, this guy had a knack for doing comedy.
Seriously, look up his standup online.
Too bad he couldn’t take a break from the sauce and take it easy when hitting on women.
To give you all some context, while his career was blowing up, John Crist opened for celebrity comics like Dave Chappelle, Jeff Foxworthy, and Seth Meyers, among others. But between sets, he had gotten into the habit of harassing and coercing young women for something like a decade.
The guys around him nearly covered up these sordid, arguably illegal affairs and tried to counsel him. This continued after Crist got married and, guess what, some of the women he hit on were hitched, too.
Apparently, one of his favorite tactics was to offer women tickets to his shows in exchange for sexual favors.
All of this came to a head when Crist once got piss drunk and nearly assaulted a woman. Consequently, he canceled his tour and disappeared from public life for almost a year.
Jim Bakker
Ex-husband to everyone’s pink-haired makeup saleswoman, Tammy Faye Messner, Jim was another one of those uber-famous right-wing televangelists who got his start in the ’70s. Founder of the Praise The Lord Club, Jim and Tammy built a considerable television-based empire, which led to them leading a lavish life off-camera.
However, all of this success and excess didn’t come without controversy.
For one, throughout the ’80s, the Bakkers were investigated by the IRS for scamming their own organization, skimming over a million dollars off of the top of their church’s revenue. But that was only the beginning of Jim’s criminal charges.
To keep her from talking about being drugged and r*ped, Bakker sent a hush-money payment of $279,000 to then-model Jessica Hahn. However, as these things often go, Bakker’s assault came to light thanks to journalist Charles Shepard.
Apparently, Bakker kept different records to cover up the money he was shuffling around, and when accused of appropriating funds to cover up his attempt to shut Hahn up. When confronted, Bakker didn’t deny the affair but said the whole thing was consensual.
No one bought it, though, and Bakker was later booted from PTL. Unsurprisingly, when he’s not in jail, this grifter has been making a living by pushing conspiracy and selling bogus cures for all sorts of diseases.
Eddie Long
Okay, this one is more on the light-hearted side for the most part.
The late Bishop Eddie Long, like most of the douchebags on this list, arose to prominence in the ’80s. Besides all of the weird-ass Baptist and prosperity theology, Eddie seems to have had a fetish for viewing the Torah as a symbolic penis. He even had a copy of the Torah wrapped around him in some bizarre ceremony in one sermon.
No seriously, look up Long being “crowned” by Ralph Messer. It’s even weirder to watch than it sounds.
Anyway, it seems that Long’s interest in dongs goes way beyond emblematic church psycho-drama. Like his fellow religionists, Long frequently and loudly denounced “homosexual behavior” throughout the 2000s and even led a mass march to protest gay marriage in 2010. Further, as part of his ministry, he advocated for “converting” queers to heterosexuality.
And while all this was happening, several young black men in Long’s congregation came forward, stating that the man offered them watches, cars, vacations, and other gifts. Along with this, Long wanted to discuss the bible with these guys…and later bang.
Like Bakker and other evangelists who are exposed in these scandals, Eddie said that the whole thing was a sham, and the Devil was attacking him.
No, really, he actually said that.
However, besides these guys’ testimony, they presented selfies that Long sent them of him in spandex and flexing. I wasn’t entirely sure, so I asked some of my male readers who are into dudes. They told me that photos of Long, which were leaked, are for sure Grindr pics.
Eventually, Long disappeared from public life, lost an unhealthy amount of weight, and reportedly died of a rare form of cancer in early 2017.
The Duggar family and (possibly) every celebrity clergy connected to them
If you’ve never seen or heard of 19 Kids and Counting, I’ll summarize this horror-reality show. The Duggar family are fundamentalists who believe that the whole point of sex is to crank out as many kids as possible (despite the health risks) and reject using birth control.
The family has routinely been criticized for this irresponsible behavior; they also have advocated for some controversial child-rearing practices. But what ended their freakish reality show were the multiple affairs, including paying for sex via Ashley Madison after getting married and molesting five girls – four of whom were his sisters!
But it gets worst from there. Friends of theirs’ include pastors Doug Phillips and Bill Gothard, both of whom have been involved in molesting people as well.
Ted Haggard
This is another funny example of a hypocritical closet case.
Once upon a time, Haggard was one of the leading evangelical pastors and had a US president’s ear. To give you some specifics, Haggard used to be the head of a national evangelical organization made up of 300 congregations. He was also the spiritual advisor to then-president George Bush Jr.
As is the case with these types, he often ranted about how awful gay marriage is and got even more famous for this opinion when he was featured in the docu Jesus Camp.
Almost as if he was getting hit by the karma stick, days before that movie came out, masseur and escort Mike Jones reported to the media that he and Ted were involved in a three-year-long affair. Not only that, Jones released a voicemail of Haggard asking him for meth before they got down and dirty.
Allegedly, when Haggard was caught by his wife while butt banging with Jones and high off his tits, Ted said, “it’s not what it looks like.” To be fair, he did eventually admit to the affair publicly months after people started finding out.
This led to Haggard being dismissed as head pastor of his church, the subject of ridicule of the media, and a common comedic punchline in pop culture. You would think that would be enough to avoid future embarrassment, but Haggard’s scandals didn’t stop there.
For example, less than a week before an expose documentary on him, titled The Trials of Ted Haggard, came out for having another affair with a young dude, Brady Boyd, in his church. Unlike the escapade with Jones, this one wasn’t consensual.
The only thing Haggard did was jack off in front of the guy – which isn’t the worse thing – but still, gross!
On a final note, proving that these hyper-fundie types will always turn on each other, Haggard’s fellow pastor, Mark Driscoll, blamed Haggard’s wife because she “let herself go.” Unsurprisingly, Driscoll has been in the hot seat for embezzlement, plagiarism, and misogyny.
And these people say those of us who like porn are fucked up…
Zachary & Dave Daubenmire
Here’s another PK who went wild later in life, but this story is hardly funny and a little bit infuriating, given the way everything ended. Son of pastor and “coach” Dave Daubenmire, this spawn of Satan, is a chilling example of how the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Zach’s dad Dave has gotten a weird following online for being a brazen hatemonger. Coach Dave has said that women can’t be leaders, wants to ban porn, and has a raging hate-on towards people who date outside their race. Not only that, but he has described interracial marriage as “spiritual AIDS.”
Needless to say, he’s not too much of a fan of the gays as well. Just look up a few of his vlogs, and you’ll see a deluge of passionate rants against queers and all things related to butt sex. And if you really want a laugh, look up his conversations with the biggest closet case ever, Peter “Porn-o Pete” LaBarbera.
I bring all this up because, in a weird way, it kind of makes sense to me that his kid would end up so fucked up in the head. I also mention it because it’s going to highlight what a phony prick he is as well.
Back in 2007, Zachary was arrested for being caught downloading k*ddie porn, which he did admit to. Amazingly, his fire-breathing father came to his defense in court and begged the judge for leniency.
While Zachary was registered as a sex offender, he only paid a $1,000 fine and got six months of counseling instead of jail time.
Jerry Falwell Jr. & Becki Tilley
Okay, after that rollercoaster of hilarity, hypocrisy, and horror, I’m going to finish with what I started and an amazing story at that. Son of one of the biggest televangelists ever, Falwell Jr. is arguably the man who is the heir to the Religious Right, and the Moral Majority has recently been exposed as the most ridiculously pretentious pervert to ever grace a pulpit.
As we’ve seen throughout this blog, the anti-porn, pro-marriage pious types are no strangers to getting into sexual scandals that make even me blush – but this guy takes hypocrisy to a whole new level.
Like something out of a porno, Baby Falwell’s cougar wife, Becki, engaged in an affair with some twenty-something-year-old pool boy, Giancarlo Granda, which went on for years. What was Jerry’s response? Reportedly, he told her to “go for it.”
Not only that, but Jerry got off on watching the couple bang in-person or via webcam.
Apparently, everything seems to have worked out, at least at first. As the cuckoldry dragged on, Becki wanted to end the whole thing. She has even gone so far as describing keeping the relationship a secret as “torture.”
Deplorably, Jerry insisted on seeing her continue to get plowed by a guy almost half his age.
And being the supreme douchebag that he is, Jerry had made plans to lie about the whole thing and throw his wife and Granda into the crusher. Sucks for him that Granda and his wife acted first and even went so far as to drop some receipts in the form of some seedy recorded conversations.
Remember that Falwell has been a fiery critic of the “homosexual lifestyle” but has also held the party line about the sanctity of one man, one-woman marriage. Keep in mind also that his daddy’s college, Liberty University, used to have a ban on interracial dating on campus.
(I wonder if these repressed fuckers have a problem with Neapolitan ice cream, too.)
I find it incredibly hilarious that this literal cuck was one of the key figures who rallied evangelicals to vote for Donald “Alpha Male” Trump.
The Beta Boy of Liberty University has been dismissed from his position and is currently under investigation by the organization.
