Actually, the incident happened in 1980. The story goes, Tammy Faye was having an affair with the choir director or something like that.
Any time something happens in the news, I play, I feel. You know, a plane crashes, I feel. The war, I feel.
As God as my witness, they said, We're above the law. There's nothing you can do to us. You're just a church secretary.
Billy Graham talks about how he doesn't judge people. I don't either. Some people I am just pissed at.
Church is great, but I found my church here. Hugh Hefner has been nothing but a gentleman.
He made his bed. I don't give a damn. Consensual my ass. Excuse me.
Howard Stern was the only one that was able to get through to me.
I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people.
I always felt like something was going to happen with me and that I needed to be prepared to take the challenge.
I believe in God, because he is the only thing that kept me going. He's my best friend.
I could do one more layout before I hit the wall. I'm figuring I've got about two more years before I hit the wall.
I did one Playboy video. After I went on Howard Stern, it sold out in two hours. I was the first to do that. I was nude. I was on horseback.
I don't have children. I would have liked children, but right now I have dogs.
I don't leave my house. I feed the birds. I walk the dog. I love Ronnie. I'm a loner.
I feed the birds relentlessly. I mean, we've got them all.
I got involved in cocaine because I needed to lose weight. I felt the pressure living here. I took it to wake me up and keep me moving.
I had a black lab for 15 years that I just lost, but now I have a blue healer, an Australian shepherd.
I have coyotes in my backyard. I live over a canyon. I feed them hot dogs. I have crows. I have blue jays. I have squirrels.
I have never been more in love in my life. We have been together 15 years.
I have no family, but I am not a victim. I have so much great things going on.
I kept quiet for eight years. I did not want to hurt the church.
I kind of think I'm going to live a long life as a punishment.
I like to just go on satellite and just talk about anything and everything.
I never knew my real dad. My family was so screwed up.
I pretty much have a story to tell, and I'm open to anything. I think Sirius would be good to hire me.
I saw Billy Graham on the show and my God, he is my idol. I swear to God, I am so impressed with him.
I speak my mind. I just speak my heart. I will not turn away from any question.
I think Jim got screwed. I think Jim Bakker would have been a great preacher. Jim Bakker was very good at what he did.
I thought this would be crazy if it came out. It would ruin the entire empire.
I told Hef one day, I know this sounds crazy, but when my mom died, it's the greatest freedom in the world. Hugh Hefner is my idol.
I was 27. I was working for a preacher. He knew about it. I just kind of hid. There were satellites outside of my apartment.
I was a girl from Massapequa, New York. I grew up in Massapequa. I lived in a basement with one window.
I was a virgin. People find that hard to believe, but when you're raised in a church, that was just the way it is.
I was actually very ugly. I was ugly. I felt very insecure.
I was green. All I knew was to walk my dog and go to church.
I was threatened. I was told that if I did not give this money to certain attorneys and so forth-I was being used as a pawn.
I'd definitely pose nude again. No qualms. I actually had my breasts done again. Just updated, like new tires.
I'm a victim of maybe circumstances, but look at how it worked out.
I'm in my 40s. I mean, they did Farrah, you know? I'm younger than her.
I'm not Nicole Kidman, you know, but people are very gracious.
I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.
If he wants to blow his head off, let him. I don't give a damn about Jim Bakker.
If only Tammy knew how much I really cared about her. She has nothing to do with any of this mess.
It was set up by a guy named John Fletcher, who's dead now. He put something in my water or wine. We don't know.
Jerry Falwell pretended he was going to protect Jim Bakker, and ended up stealing it.
Jim Bakker came along. He said, Jessica Hahn, listen. You're a virgin. As God as my witness. He said, We need a girl that we can trust.
Jim Bakker is an extremely talented preacher, if he would just get it together.
Jim Bakker ripped off the bedspread and said, my wife doesn't make me feel like a man anymore.
Jim Bakker, you've got to face me right now. I never had sex. I worshipped him. When Jim Bakker called, I ran, because he was my idol.
John Fletcher called up the Charlotte Observer and said, Remember the name, Jessica Hahn.
Many times, people attack the well-to-do people. They see an opportunity.
Michael Jackson asked me to sign a Playboy. I was more than happy to.
My dad used to flush my mother's head down the toilet. I was so screwed up.
My first quote was, I don't want to hurt God's people. Jim Bakker's quote was, I was set up by a female.
My mom died. My mom got sick of it. She stopped eating. She died in '89 of anorexia.
My new surgeon decided to call Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson said, They are going to come like scavengers, but it's going to be OK.
Nobody would hire me for TV, not that they should.
Once my mom passed away, I have nobody to answer to. It's great.
Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.
People will always consider me a cartoon character, a bimbo. They will never give me credit.
People will always consider that I brought down an empire.
Radio is my first love, thanks to Howard Stern. I worked in radio for a year. I hosted my own morning show. I'd like to do satellite.
So many people go on interviews and they go, Everything is wonderful, I love everybody. Whatever.
Tammy Faye said, I am so happy that Jessica Hahn is so ugly, because now I don't feel so bad.
Tammy Faye, I pray for every day. I really liked her. I wanted to be in their family.
Tammy Faye, I really like the woman. I wanted to be her kid.
The scandal happened and I made the best of it. I kind of feel like in the end it was a blessing.
They did is sent me down Clearwater, Florida, and they said to me, Jessica, I need you to make Jim Bakker feel better.
They said, we need you to watch the kids. They were doing a telethon. I was the nanny.
What bothers me is that Jim Bakker lies. Jim Bakker knows for a fact that I was virgin.
Your mind is like, oh my God, I know this is wrong, but your body just gives in.
Jessica's mother died of anorexia nervosa in 1989.
She currently resides in Beverly Hills (as of 2006), where she lives with with Ron Leavitt, the co-creator of Married... with Children.
She was once employed as a secretary for a church.
