Reports: Jerry Falwell Jr. Resigns from Liberty University After Pool Attendant Affair Story Breaks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerry Falwell Jr. has reportedly resigned as president of the
evangelical Christian Liberty University in Virginia amid the growing
fallout over claims about his personal life. He was put on leave earlier
this month after he posted a photo on Instagram in which he is posing
with his arm around a woman, holding a drink and with his pants
unzipped. On Monday, Giancarlo Granda, a former hotel pool attendant who
then became a business partner, said he had an affair with Becki
Falwell, Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife. Granda says Falwell Jr. would watch
while they had sex. Jerry Falwell Jr. is a prominent supporter of
President Trump.
