Jimmy Swaggart scandal: 1988 prostitution controversy explained
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jimmy Swaggart, a once-prominent televangelist whose passionate sermons were overshadowed by a series of sex scandals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, has died. He was 90. Swaggart passed away Tuesday morning in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he had lived and led Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for decades. The ministry announced his death on social media. No cause of death was immediately provided. The New York Times reported that Swaggart had been placed in intensive care at a hospital after suffering a heart attack. Who Was Jimmy Swaggart? Swaggart rose to prominence in the 1980s as an influential figure in American Pentecostalism. At his peak, his televised services reached millions in the United States and around the world. Born in Ferriday, Louisiana, in 1935, Swaggart was the first cousin of rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis. Ordained by the Assemblies of God in 1961, Swaggart launched a ministry that eventually exploded in scope thanks to radio and television broadcasts. Per ABC News, Swaggart's ministry earned over $142 million in 1986. He maintained a global media presence, with his broadcasts appearing on roughly 200 TV stations at their peak. On Tuesday, the operator of Swaggart's official Instagram page wrote: "He was not just a preacher- he was a worshiper, a warrior, and a witness to the grace and mercy of God. He was a man whose faith was steadfast and always entered whatever door the Lord opened." The post thanked the doctors and nurses at Baton Rouge General Medical Center, where he was receiving treatment. Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart preaching in Nicaragua in 1988. Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart preaching in Nicaragua in Swaggart Controversy Explained In 1988, reports surfaced that Swaggart had been involved with a prostitute in New Orleans. The BBC reported that Swaggart resigned from his position during a public confession in front of a congregation of over 7,000 people. "I have sinned against you," Swaggart said at the time. "I beg you to forgive me." The clip of his speech became a recognizable moment in American religious broadcasting. Sex worker Debra Murphree, who was photographed with Swaggart, said in a later interview that the preacher paid her to pose nude. His troubles didn't end there. In 1991, Swaggart was stopped by police in California for driving on the wrong side of the road with a prostitute. Rather than confessing to prostitution, he instead told his Baton Rouge congregation: "The Lord told me it's flat none of your business," per The New York Times. Despite these scandals, Swaggart never relinquished control of his ministry, although he did restructure operations under his family's leadership. Jimmy Swaggart's Funeral Service: What We Know Information on the preacher's funeral service was not immediately available. Details regarding the time, location, and whether any public services will be held have not been announced yet. Swaggart is survived by his wife, Frances, their son Donnie, and several grandchildren.

Lorde and Jim-E Stack Spark Dating Rumors at Glastonbury Music Festival
Lorde is stepping into a bold new chapter, both musically and personally. The Grammy-winning singer just released her album Virgin and gave a surprise Glastonbury performance. While at the British music festival, she also sparked rumors that she is dating producer and collaborator Jim-E Stack. The Sun ran photos of Stark and Lorde cuddling in the crowd. On June 30, Daily Mail added more fuel to the speculation by publishing photos of them arriving together at London Heliport. Stack had his arm around Lorde's shoulder. Neither Lorde nor Stack has confirmed the relationship, but fans are buzzing about the possibility. So, who exactly is Jim-E Stack? From his prolific music career to his yearslong creative partnership with Lorde, here's everything to know. Stack isn't just Lorde's rumored boyfriend; he's also her main creative partner on Virgin, the singer's fourth studio album that came out on June 27, 2025. He co-wrote and co-produced some of the project with Lorde (real name: Ella Yelich-O'Connor). In a June 27 Instagram post, Stack described their collaboration as something deeper than just studio work: 'Ella & I met and made some songs in 2022 before an album was on either of our minds,' he wrote. 'A year and a half later we had [an] album. There's no one I'd rather be in the trenches with. Eternally grateful for the journey together. Love you forever, Ella.' In a May 2025 British GQ interview, Stack elaborated on how the project came together: 'Finishing the album was amazing, but you get so close and familiar with it,' he said. 'It was basically just Ella and myself making and producing the whole [song, 'What Was That']; my close friend Dan [Nigro] helped me somewhat with the production. Sometimes you get in this zone where you're like, 'Okay, we love this; is anybody else gonna care?' Seeing people go nuts for it made us both feel we're not crazy.' While it isn't known exactly when they met or potentially began dating, Stack revealed their creative partnership began in early 2022. 'She hit me up in 2022 right before she was about to start rehearsing for the Solar Power Tour,' he told British GQ. 'I think she was eyeing what would be next for her creatively. We hung and got along super well, and then after a leg of the tour, she came to my studio, and we spent a week cranking out ideas.' 'Then in summer 2023, she had some festivals booked and asked for me to help put together some remix versions of Solar Power songs for her live show. There were also a couple songs we did, [like] 'Silver Moon,' that she wanted play live. And I think once she finished that festival run, she was feeling creatively energized, though also in a scary new phase of her life—she had just gone through a breakup of a very long-term, significant felt very true to where she was at personally—this new era, living alone in New York for the first time, and things just feeling fresh and new.' Born James Harmon Stack, the 33-year-old San Francisco native has spent over a decade quietly shaping some of the most experimental pop and indie records of the 2010s and 2020s. His collaborators include Bon Iver, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, HAIM, Empress Of, and Diplo, among others. In an April 2021 Interview conversation with Kacy Hill, Stack described the core of his production approach: 'When I'm working on someone else's stuff and there are decisions to be made in the production and writing of which I'm unsure, I can always defer to the person whose song it is to make that decision, and I don't have to make a big call.' Stack began playing drums at age 11 and started making beats as a teenager using a friend's old Mac. 'My beats were some collision of rap and grime,' he told Fader in 2014, describing them as 'really, really terrible' in the beginning. 'That's kind of the beauty of it: there was no vision whatsoever. It's just trying to make some shit.' He credits growing up in San Francisco with shaping his sound: 'Growing up in the city [when I did] meant exposure to different cultures,' he said. In Rolling Stone's May 2025 cover story, Lorde described how working with Stack helped her unlock a new phase in both her music and identity. She recalled a moment during the Virgin recording process when she texted him a photo of herself in men's jeans and asked for his opinion. Stack replied, 'I want to see the you that's in this picture represented in the music.' 'This was before I had any sense of my gender broadening at all,' she explained. Stack has shared several posts celebrating Virgin and his creative bond with Lorde. 'The kinda song I was put on earth to help make,' he wrote on X after 'What Was That' was released. In April, he shared a short video of him and Lorde working in the studio on 'What Was That,' captioning it, 'The night we finally got the drums right.'

Paulina Porizkova's ‘Seriously Unflattering' Selfie Is to Remind Fans of One Lesson: ‘This One Is for You'
Paulina Porizkova just uploaded an unflattering selfie, and it is giving people a serious lesson that we all needed to hear. And no, we're not saying it's unflattering, she said that herself! Earlier this week, the supermodel shared a photo with a major purpose on her Instagram. She shared the photo with the caption, 'Here's an unfortunate angle and seriously unflattering light.' More from SheKnows Vera Wang Turned Heads in a Peekaboo LBD for Her Lavish 75th Birthday Celebration 'In selecting my photos for IG, I almost unconsciously gravitate to pictures where I look best — as in youngest. Least wrinkled, least saggy,' she said. 'So, in the last year or so I'm consciously choosing some that I would have never posted before.' She then talked about all the comments she's sure she'll get under 'unflattering photos,' adding, 'But the majority are women like myself who feel like they are uncertain of what this aging thing is supposed to 'look' like, and like myself, madly grateful there is someone that mirrors them.' Porizkova ended by saying, 'So this one is for you, my sisters, to let you know that if you want to look pretty, find good light and a good angle. If you're tired of being ashamed of your age, let your 'seasoned lady flag fly!'' In the photo, we see Porizkova took a selfie while out and about on a summer day, showing off her gray hair and wrinkles with no filter. She took the selfie from down below, which tends to highlight wrinkles and a lot of parts people typically try to hide; but not Porizkova! Porizkova is always trying to help people become their most authentic selves, and to get out of their comfort zone to enter their self-love era. This selfie is reminding everyone to live (and post) authentically; and we truly love to see it. Back in her April 2023 cover issue with SheKnows, Porizkova talked about how through all the pain and grief she's had to deal with over the years, and how it's made her a better person after coming through it all. She revealed she came 'away with is the feeling of how much I can take, how strong I really am, how much I can bear, how I can navigate my way through dark times, and how I can be a better friend and a better person to help other people when they are in hard times. Because now I have that empathy that, I must admit, I think I was lacking. To be able to understand somebody else's pain or isolation, or fears — I got all of that out of my experience. So am I the better person for it? … yeah. And now it's up to me how I use it.'Best of SheKnows 15 Celebrity Men Who Are Always Gushing About Their Wives 25 of the Most Expensive Celebrity Weddings of All Time Dakota Brubaker & Ava Phillippe, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years
