Gossip: Dinesh D’Souza
D’Souza's affair with a young woman while still married has prompted his resignation from King’s College.
Right-wing firebrand Dinesh D’Souza may have gotten rich on the anti-Obama film 2016, but he needs a new day job, said TheDailyBeast.com. D’Souza, 51, resigned as president of the evangelical King’s College last week, after a Christian magazine reported that he was having an affair with a 29-year-old woman while still married. D’Souza has been under fire at King’s for emphasizing right-wing politics. “I have to admit,” said the school’s chairman, Andy Mills, “I got a bit over-enamored with him.”
