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.

The True Story Behind Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel
American Apparel's motto used to be "Ethically Made—Sweatshop Free.' But in a new documentary, former employees say the clothing brand, which became the go-to place for hipster chic clothes in the mid- to late- aughts, operated pretty much like a sweatshop. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel, a 54-minute doc out July 1 as part of Netflix's series on disasters in recent history, looks at the rise of the brand and its decline in influence amid allegations of inappropriate behavior and oppressive conditions in the workplace. Here's a look at the most shocking revelations about what it was like to work at American Apparel. Sewing discontent When American Apparel launched in 1989, it was supposed to represent the American dream. It proudly boasted clothes made in the U.S., and employees made well over minimum wage. And it had a star-studded clientele. A former employee who goes by Jonny Makeup in the doc says he would close the store for Beyoncé to go shopping. As American Apparel became known for its cheeky advertisements, which often featured women in solid colors and provocative poses, like upside down with their legs outstretched—employees in the doc argue that behind the scenes, founder Dov Charney encouraged sexually explicit behavior in the workplace and routinely violated boundaries. New hires at the American Apparel factory say they received a welcome gift bag that included a vibrator, in addition to a book called The 48 Laws of Power, a Leica camera, and a Blackberry—so they would always be on call. According to the doc, it was not uncommon to see employees making out in the hallways of its downtown LA factory. The doc even shows footage of Charney walking around naked in front of two female employees. The toxic environment was not contained to American Apparel's walls. The doc starts off with an employee named Carson saying Charney called him up close to midnight one night and said 'I hate you! I hate you!' over and over again, and then hung up. 'That was a regular day at American Apparel,' says Carson, who reveals he sometimes had to work 36-hour shifts. Coming apart at the seams Employees in the doc say they were disturbed by how much business Charney wanted to conduct in his private home. Jonny Makeup says he actually lived in his boss's house, arguing in the doc that Charney invited him and he wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to live in such luxurious digs. Young women were always hanging around the house, so much so that Jonny describes it as 'a Playboy mansion for hipsters.' Toni Jaramilla, an employment and civil rights attorney, talks about working with women who say they experienced sexual harassment while working for Charney at American Apparel. Because they had already signed agreements to not say anything disparaging about Charney and American Apparel, each complaint was sent to confidential arbitration. However, some allegations have leaked into the public domain, and the doc uses a voice actor to read excerpts, describing Charney inviting people as young as 18 years-old to his bedroom and walking around in a towel in front of employees. As allegations mounted, so did Charney's verbal attacks on his own employees, and the doc features audio snippets of him calling them morons and dummies. Charney has denied all allegations, but he was fired in June 2014. American Apparel, which is still exists online, filed for bankruptcy in 2015 and 2016. Charney ended up getting a job with Kanye West's clothing brand Yeezy. The doc ends with archival footage of him saying, 'I'm not sorry about sh-t.'

Watch: Stellan Skarsgard stars in family drama 'Sentimental Value'
1 of 5 | Stellan Skarsgard appears backstage during the Golden Globe Awards in 2020. He will star in the upcoming film "Sentimental Value." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 1 (UPI) -- Stellan Skarsgard portrays Gustav, a director and father who attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughters, in the new film Sentimental Value. Renate Reinsve also stars as Nora, an actress who turns down her father's offer to play the leading role in his next film. "I can't work with him," she tells the American actress who accepts the role (Elle Fanning), in the trailer. "We can't really talk. And my father is a very difficult person." The offer, however, reunites Nora and her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) with their father. The trailer shows the women confronting their painful childhood memories. "Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father -- and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics," an official synopsis states. The film arrives in November, but a specific release date has not yet been announced. Joachim Trier directs.
