Jim Bakker sued for selling fake coronavirus cure
Televangelist Jim Bakker is being sued by the state of Missouri for selling for using his show to tout the supplements as able to cure the coronavirus "within 12 hours."
Bakker has been previously convicted of fraud and spent time in federal prison for activities related to his Praise The Lord, PTL, Club Show, which featured him and his then-wife, Tammy Faye Bakker. The couple drew headlines in the late 1980s in a scandal that had Bakker paying hush money to hide an affair with Jessica Hahn, a church secretary.
In the 1980s, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker had a huge following and a multimillion-dollar media empire in the The PTL Club. That all changed in 1987 when Jessica Hahn, a former church secretary, announced she had a "sexual encounter" with Bakker years earlier and had been paid off for years. AP Photo
