Jerry Falwell Jr. said Tuesday that he had resigned as head of evangelical Liberty University because of ongoing controversies about his wife’s sexual involvement with a younger business partner and in the wake of a social media photo that caused an uproar.
Falwell had already been on leave since earlier this month after a photo he posted on social media caused an uproar. The latest controversy began to unfold late Sunday, when the Washington Examiner published a lengthy statement from Falwell disclosing that his wife had had an extramarital affair.
The tale of Granda’s ties to the family, previously reported in part by other news outlets, has become known as the “pool boy” story. Granda and the Falwells met while he worked as a pool attendant in Miami.Granda, who did not return a call from AP on Tuesday, took on partial ownership of a hostel in Miami’s party-friendly South Beach neighborhood with members of the Falwell family, according to court documents.
Liberty alumni and Virginia pastor Colby Garman tweeted on Monday night that the events that brought Falwell down were not “the public fall of a Christian leader into sin.”“They are the unmasking of a long-standing hypocrisy that has fed off the resources and goodwill of a Christian institution while despising the truths it was established to uphold,” Garman wrote.
