| Falwell Jr claims wife's illicit affair and 'fatal attraction' situation threatened to ruin family |
| 2020-08-26 |
| [FOXNEWS] Jerry Falwell Jr. purportedly agreed on Monday to resign as president of Liberty University following a series of personal scandals that have overshadowed his tenure as head of the conservative Christian college in Virginia. An official at the school, speaking on the condition of anonymity, claimed Falwell Jr. had agreed to step down - something that would be made official Monday evening - but Falwell Jr. appeared to flip the narrative at the last minute and told multiple media outlets he would not go. The murky back and forth just added to an already muddled set of circumstances that has come to define Falwell Jr. as of late. Falwell Jr., who took over the post from his late father in 2007, had been on thin ice following allegations he broke the evangelical university's code of conduct after posting a picture of himself with a young woman on a yacht whose zipper was undone. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... opposition to his presidency came to a dramatic head after a Miami man claimed he had been in a sexual affair with Falwell Jr. and his wife Becki for years. Falwell Jr. said he and his wife befriended the man and allegedly went into business with him but that the relationship had soured after the man, identified as Giancarlo Granda, became obsessive and that the situation turned into a "fatal attraction." Falwell Jr. claimed Granda had threatened to expose the affair his wife had eight years ago and that the threat triggered an emotional roller coaster for his family ahead of his suspension from his collegiate post earlier this month. On Friday, the Virginia-based private university said it was investigating "rumors and claims" about Falwell Jr. The 58-year-old father's fall from grace has sent shockwaves through the school. A formal announcement from Liberty University on his exit is expected later Monday, according to a school official. |
