, Liberty University said members of its board of trustees had met Friday and asked Falwell to step down from his positions"effective immediately," and that Falwell had agreed. Falwell did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NPR.
Falwell faced criticism this week from both conservative and liberal commentators after posting the controversial photo to his Instagram account. Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Republican Sen. John McCain,,"How is this Jerry Falwell Jr. photo even real? Also if you're running the largest Christian university in America maybe don't put photos of yourself on social media with your pants undone on a yacht - with random women in bad wigs. So gross, so hypocritical.
"It was weird," Falwell told the interviewer."She's pregnant, so she couldn't get her pants zipped. I had on a pair of jeans I hadn't worn in a long time, so I couldn't get mine zipped either. So I just put my belly out like hers."

Let’s not condemn the man already. It was a photo. I know everyone is quick to assume but we don’t have the facts
Mr Farewell You remember that passage in the Bible. The first will be the last and least will be first. Wait on it it's real.
Take a permanent leave. Disgusting person. Feed the poor, take care of windows and children. What is wrong with these so called ministers/Christian. Christians don’t play on yachts in a pandemic. They work to help. Spare me
His behavior has devalued my degree from LibertyU JF jr behavior is completely not in line with students/faculty who attend this Christian university/humiliated by his behavior. Lack of judgement is appalling and smugness not acceptable LibertyU
I’ll be fine.
Who is surprised? This man repeatedly makes a mockery of Christians and Christianity. Nothing stays in the dark forever
Lmao
Jerry
Video too
But will he still get a salary and have his expenses paid? And what about the pool boy? Has anyone ever stop to think bout how much this affects him? Every time he looks behind him Jerry Falwell Jr is there. Now he is next to another woman.
His behavior has devalued my degree from Liberty University. His behavior is completely not in line with students and faculty who attend this Christian university. I am humiliated by his behavior. Lack of judgement is appalling and the smugness not acceptable
Charlatan
Good. Of course followers will come up with a thousand excuses for what is just disgusting behavior. And then there's the famous trump excuse- I was joking 🙃
Huh? It’s not like he was making a porn movie for God sakes
I’m shocked it was with a woman
People do the stupidest things
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As A man of GOD, what where you thinking? Just saying.
Hahahahahahahaha
You mean there’s another scandal that doesn’t involve the pool boy in Miami? Those Falwells sure are busy !! LibertyU
I am not religious but it seems like the so called men of god are having all the fun!
What a weird world Liberty University is if that is a problem photo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣the devil made me do it
Now let’s work some redemption LibertyU and bring in someone who can lead the school in a way that makes us proud. Someone like drantbradley would be a relief.
Christian extremist JerryFalwellJr must resign.
Was he one of the Spice Girls?
Meh, I'm sure that he's found the road to Damascus. Jerry Falwell is a fake Christian and a crook. LockHimUp
😂🤣
Only fools worship other fools and idiots give the rich more ritches
“Do as I say, not as I do.” The Life Motto of both Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Donald J. Trump.
Another “two-faced” politician bites the dust. Good riddance. Need to flip the senate next. Need honest compassionate leaders more than ever.
You should have clarified with 'very young' woman.
More disturbing he’s worth 100mil.
One big sack of shit down, now let's get the biggest one, that pile sitting in the white house cleaned out and then the country can start to heal and move forwards. But getting rid of the smaller cancers like Falwell, is very important.
Okay
the very worst thing about all of this is his promise to be a good boy
This is his PragerU flash card
It’s about time
Good
Hardly a surprise. These are grade A shitty people.
So...the pool boy, gay sex, swinging couples, drug use, excessive inflated lifestyle.... none of that did it. But a stupid pic the idiot posted himself was his undoing Huh. Yep. It's still 2020.
Lol.
No mention of whether it is paid or unpaid leave.
Liberty University has been robocalling me for months.Every call says it’s the University of morality and faith. I call BS!
Does he still get paid?
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, you would have been just fine if only you’d banged and illegally paid off a porn star. The zipper thing? Unforgivable.
These “pastors” remind me of pro wrestlers. All fake and just con men.
All I saw on that yacht video was white trash with a little bit of money. Sad, but not surprising. Jerry, go golfing. Permanently. Please.
I wish him well doing something else. Christians need to thin the herd if we are to understand how to handle 2020 vision. Gideon The light is busting through just now. Lots more disclosures on tap I hope.
What kinda sick world do we live in where the head of a Christian school can't lay some pipe in the privacy of his own boat. Geez.
This is stupid was all in good fun from what I read. Geesh
I attended Liberty University for a year in 2006. I lived on campus (the female side, no mixing) and was fined $25 for wearing shirt that had “American Eagle” printed on it because it was a worldly brand with sexy advertising. I was 18 and it was my first day on campus.
Dad taught him well....
Cool. Now do Bill Clinton
My favorite part is his explanation that they were at a costume party. What were their costumes supposed to be?
carydj Costume Party.
Thats' a Trump guy alright.
Did he say , “the devil made me do it”
Heres tammy and she is indefinately crying
Hey. Why don’t you all go find out about all those flights clinton took with Epstein? Huh? Scared? Communist devil lovers.
So hypocritical. I don’t see why the republicans/Christians are giving him such a hard time. Trump has gotten away with much worse and they say nothing. 🦗🦗🦗
Official statement says it’s so he can spend more time with his family’s pants unzipped.
Define indefinate time. 1 week, 20 yrs?
And he can’t even use the time to hit the clubs - poor fella.
You mean it never was about 'the sanctity of marriage', it was just about creating 'others' you can hate on? I'm shocked and amazed. ;)
Trailer Park Boys being involved in this is too funny 😂
Taking Liberties.
There once was a politician preacher named Falwell who as a Christian was totally fake, his arrogant ignorance and pride were very hard to take, he ran around all day seeing how many women & men besides his wife he could make. He posted a picture of an open zipper. THE END.
Another born again fraud
Typical religious zealot the first to condem and the first to whip out their goods
But I’m sure his supporters will stand behind this man of god as he does with our devout president.
a slightest of remixes:
😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you sure it was infidelity with another woman or a man, typical Christian fucking hypocrite! Don't do as I do, do as I say until I get caught cheating on my wife! But he will be forgiven by his false God
I didn't know that woman was not his wife.
Another sum bag politician preacher is exposed. Is there any form of life lower than a politician preacher?
Actually guys i saw the pic. Looks like the pic really is a joke about her pregnancy
All these hypocrites using the Lord’s name in vain will have their judgement day. Some sooner than later.
Falwell 2024!
Meh. Fake 'Christian' evangelicals won't care. If they stand behind the worst, most highly criminalized and grossly ethically and morally offensive man to sit in the WhiteHouse , they'll 'forgive' this criminal who lived the high life on their money. They're that hypocritical
Oh, everyone pray for him.
They know how to play this game. Step aside to go seek “redemption” from the almighty - for only he can judge you - then sneak back when no one is any longer speaking about it. Pretend nothing ever happened. Didn’t the blood of Jesus wash it all away! They know religion is bunk!
Good. Accountability should always come with leadership positions. Especially leadership positions in a nonprofit (Christian) organization!
Boo hoo....cry me a river....
So very strange — yet, this is his circle and I’m surprised by nothing. Meghan McCain “How is this Jerry Falwell Jr. photo even real? .. you're running the largest Christian university ... on social media with your pants undone on a yacht - with random women in bad wigs.”
What a surprise
'If I am drinking alone with a woman it’s always with my wife Karen' , Mike Pence. Please be like ur friend.
Tsk, tsk....... Not again
He took It Out. Why do men take their penis out?
Why can’t we be this lucky with you know who?
I guess this is one of those rare moments when Jeebus and Gawd didn't tell him to do something? Matchbox Jr. is pathetic.
Racy? More like inappropriate, especially for a supposed standard bearer of Christianity. He is the epitome of Xtianity.
Still unanswered: Where was the poolboy?
These evangelicals have gotten way too close to the sun.... it blinds their vision!!
Taking a leave of absence to work on his abs and buy some shorts that he can zip.
He will be born again. ' Lord !!! I have sinned against youuou!!! '
Dear evangelicals- this is your church in a nut shell. Take the good parts of your faith and beliefs and leave behind the money-grabbing hypocrites. Practice simply and live your faith through good works.
Those who live in glass houses...
Why are you people always surprised when these guys turn out to be creeps? When you say “Evangelist” you are talking about someone who tries to get rich off people’s fears and faith. Total creep is part of the job description. That goes for Billy Graham and all the rest.
Pimp Daddy Falwell!!!
If anyone has looked upon another person with lust they have already committed adultery in their heart
YNB The hypocrisy is off the scale
Don’t get all crazy angry, folks, it’s ok because it was only “his wife’s assistant”. Nobody does assistants anymore. So 1956.
I’m guessing that will be a ‘paid leave’.
Seems poised to lead the GOP
Like father, like son. In the words of the late Christopher Hitchens, 'If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox.'
Oh yeah, the old my pants wouldn’t zip, her pants wouldn’t zip story. Good one.
YNB Who also had her pants unzipped
LMFAOOOOO
YNB I wonder if there's a trip to 'Rehab' in the cards.
Just another reason to DefundNPR
He can go off into the sunset with his pool boy!!! Have a nice life
Trump Falwell Epstein look what Trump brought to our WH. Pigs. Men praying in girls and women. Women Evangelicals have prayers for Trump. Are these women sleeping? These men are praying on us. How could you vote for this. Don’t make same mistake again. Set standards high.
Praise Be 🤷♀️
Jerry Farewell, am I right? 😏
Disgusting.
Who was there taking that photo?
~looks at picture~ He's not the only one with his pant/shorts unfastened in that pic. Holy crap. And 'black water'? THAT'S what you come up with!? Not black cherry juice, or some other dark fruit juice? And his pants aren't just unzipped, they're completely unfastened.
I could care less what we people do behind close doors but the hypocrisy when you run a college where you tell your students to not drink and be modest. 🤦🏼♀️
I'm guessing a trip to rehab and then a paid speaking tour.
Davidlaz
I thought those holy rollers were above this.
Regardless of the context, that photo has got to be one of the most perplexing and weird pics I’ve ever seen. Like wtf was going on there.
Republican?
oops
Collective pearl clutching ... tsk tsk
Fine example of one of Trump’s Christian supporters.
This is the type of content that keeps me on Twitter 🤣
Hallelujah!
What about the pool boy and his wife's dirty pictures? They're swingers.
THATS was the straw that broke the camels back? Not the racist stuff? Oh. Ok cool.
Golly, looks like he has a history of naughty pics, right?!
Lol...
Lmao
Guess he figured it was cool since it wasn't the pool boy....
Simultaneously 🤮 and 😂 at calling that nightmare of a photo “Racy”
Yuck. Put it away.
Imagine that. A so-called Christian not acting as a Christian JerryFalwellJr
Anticipating a Jimmy Swaggart style sobbing confession...then back to business as usual.
OMFG w/ the false reasoning for unzipped pants/shorts. He knows how bad it would compound things to say the costume party was “make fun of hillbillies” themed. Which is worse? Scamming the Christians or the Christians falling for scams repeatedly? A 🏠 needs to fall on them.
Lol
Wait till you hear about Jerry's pool boy!
HaagenConway Privileged white right
Falwell's leave of absense should definitely be infinite.
Most religious leaders are false prophets and outright crooks. This guy was drunk...
Absurd behavior, and posted? Dumb.
He's garbage
so we're not gonna talk about those reptilian undergarments.. ok.. *saw the picture, forget the drink, that evangelical hand around the assistant better be a suggestion from his wife talking the picture
Lol. Christianity.
Like father, like son?!?
I changed the world in science and psychiatry in 2009 and shithole NPR said nothing. You get this. Feel violated by the Bipolars yet?
Another phony
Bad decisions, bad hand placement,, mystery drink that was poorly explained away and all during a private 'get together with friends on his yacht.' Too much doesn't add up with one odd photo.
Nice. He can stay on the yacht and they can leave pants off altogether. LibertyU
What a hypocritical turd.
Whose pants were also unzipped
Shouldn’t they stone him? It’s in the Bible.
How long can a pig take leave?
Would you call that unzipped zipper 'a tell'?
Another hypocrite operating under the guise of fundamentalist Christianity.
That pic is revolting. Ugh
What I don't get is why these holier than thou folks post shit On social media. They are so stupid. And that includes our president.
Better than the 3-way with the pool boy stuff that came out before I guess. Still, what a morally bankrupt grifter. FakeChristian
That's a shame, really. His pubes are groomed really quite nicely.
The issue is that he legit expels students for less than this at Liberty. He’s a fraud.
He'll say he was under the influence of Satan, beg forgiveness, and make even more money from the shills. Also see: Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Joel Osteen.
Jfjr better known as the fruits of his father n grandmothers bacardi fueled fuck fest
Gotta love those family values 😌
👍 🎉 👏
When do we think Trump will tweet out his support of Falwell
Praise Jesus! (did I get that right?)
ThoughtsandPrayers 😄🤭✌️
Why are these moral majority types always hypocrites?
Another GOP perv
Wants to spend more time with the pool boy
What an uninteresting bit of news.
Since when do Evangelicals care about adultery?
The falling well photo
Funny. They don’t allowing kissing, long hugs, or dancing at Liberty University.
When you read the story it seems he was just goofing off. His wife’s pregnant assistant couldn’t get her pants zipped. Presumably the wife was on the ship too?
Never mind that lesser offenses would get students and/or staff expelled or fired from his so-called university. This will give him more time with the fam and the pool boy.
😂
He should take it easy for a while. Maybe even enjoy a nice glass of Campari?
Davidlaz More time with the pool boy I suppose.
Nothing to like about that
He should not be paid on leave LibertyU . He made light of a nasty situation. The Bible says to avoid every appearance of evil. 1Thess 5:22
You know what they say about pudding
Why am I not surprised?
Just taking a little break to spend more time with his hate and hypocrisy
He sounded drunk in his interview
Falwell should’ve practiced the ol’ evangelist, hypocrite, cheater motto: If the zip has slipped, just button your lip.
Goodbye, Jerry Falwell, Jr. You are a disgrace to Christian believers everywhere. You have no shame, and you need professional help. JerryFalwellJr LibertyU
The weird hypocrisy of condemning Falwell while supporting Trump. Seems to me, it's not just Falwell who has his pants down.
Oh no, this is going to hurt God.
Good Christian man with a good moral compass.
The woman in the picture is pregnant. It’s probably his.
It could have been worse. He could have been alongside a dude who was not his wife. That would be worse, right?
JerryFalwellJr might consider deleting all his social media accounts. Might be a good way to stop making a fool of himself.
Just another FAKE so called 'Christian', American christianity is a complete farce because of the Republican party. So sad that so many blind sheep don't understand or care. Republican policies are absolutely OPPOSITE of what Jesus teaches. VoteOutEveryRepublican
Was it on purpose?
If you pound the pulpit, put your Christianity under everyone's nose, are in charge of the Christian education of thousands...you talk the talk you gotta walk the walk...you didn't....
Haiku Friday 8-7-2020 (evening edition) evangelicals. They all seem to love sex, cash, Booze, and unzipped pants. evangelicalsAreNotChristian ILoveTheOxfordComma
Being totally serious, did anyone hear the explaination for the photo? Like was it a costume party and where was his wife?
My favorite part of this story.... When the photo surfaced, Falwell Jr's first reaction was to think the drink he was holding would be the problem and then to explain it away, as being non-alcoholic. 'Yeah, that'll do it. That's the ticket.', Falwell thought to himself......
That wasnt very christian of him
Another hypocrite. The problem is he's a simple man with a cucumber between his legs and wife can't satisfy him🤷🏾♀️ oh, these conservatives hypocrites
Why?
He took Liberty too literally
Who will lecture us on morality now?
Another “Christian” leaves the flock. Flock him!
I actually gasped when I saw the bizarre photo.
...so sad... 🤣
You mean a “god fearing” man was cheating on his wife?
And yet, they seemed to be okay with kids in cages...
Why is it always prominent conservative men getting caught doing this shit? Lol
😂
In his defense, it looked like that button was about to pop off anyway because of that belly.
Hahahahhahahahahaha
You hate to see it... just kidding.
Class act all the way.
😂😂😂😂 they will find somebody equally as Despicable
