‘Pure Libel’: Dinesh D’Souza Speaks Out Against Scandal Allegations

Oct. 18, 2012 1:44am Becket Adams

Filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza is at the center of a scandal involving a relationship he allegedly carried on with a woman who was most definitely not his wife, TheBlaze’s Tiffany Gabbay reported earlier this week.

However, what’s slightly strange about this supposed scandal (and the damage it would cause to his career as president of The King’s College in New York City, a Christian school) is the fact that it broke the day D’Souza’s popular and profitable anti-Obama film “2016: Obama’s America” was released to DVD.

Now, D’Souza has responded to the allegation made against him by the Evangelical Christian publication, World magazine.

“A recent article in World magazine gives the false impression that I, a married man, had an affair with a woman Denise [Odie] Joseph at a Christian conference in [Spartanburg, S.C.,]” D’Souza writes in a recent op-ed for Fox News.

“The article alleges that I shared a hotel room with her and introduced her as my fiancé. Finally it states that I filed for divorce only on the day I was confronted about my conduct by intrepid reporter Warren Smith,” he adds.

D’Souza flatly states that the allegations aren’t true and offers a laundry list of reasons why:

1. My wife Dixie and I have been separated for two years. Dixie approached me and demanded this [a separation] before I came to King’s College to become its president in late August 2010. I informed the chairman of the college about this at the time. I also informed the reporter who wrote the World article, Warren Smith, but he deliberately left it out of his piece, even though it is entirely relevant to the context.

2. I met Denise three months ago. We are not and have not been having an affair. Nor did we share a hotel room in Charlotte. Smith did not even ask me about this. Instead, Smith apparently deployed conference organizer Alex McFarland to call and raise the issue with me.

I clearly told McFarland that Denise and I stayed in separate rooms. McFarland knew he didn’t have what he wanted, because he subsequently called me back and asked me again. I realized McFarland may be fronting for Smith, so I told him I didn’t have any further comment. I’m not sure whether McFarland is lying or Smith is lying, but one of them made up the quotation attributed to me that we stayed in the same room but “nothing happened.” This is pure libel.

3. I sought out advice about whether it is legal to be engaged prior to being divorced and I was informed that it is. Denise and I were trying to do the right thing. I had no idea that it is considered wrong in Christian circles to be engaged prior to being divorced, even though in a state of separation and in divorce proceedings. Obviously I would not have introduced Denise as my fiancé at a Christian apologetics conference if I had thought or known I was doing something wrong. But as a result of all this, and to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, Denise and I have decided to suspend our engagement.

Click here to see the rest of D’Souza’s defense.

UPDATE:

A Blaze source says D’Souza has now resigned his position at The King’s College. Read about that here.

  Divorce stinks, but it happens. Come on…at least he was doing the right thing and getting engaged to be re-married. If he was a lefty, anything would be acceptable. He could marry a goat. Even in a Christian school, I think divorce has been ok for quite a while. It definitely does not compare to the crimes of Obama. Just another double standard.

  What? BS. The Bible is clear: divorce CAN happen with only a select few cases. Remarriage after divorce is ALWAYS a sin.

  ——
  Ha! He sought advice from whom? Jim Wallis? That is pure baloney. If he is not divorced, he is still married, DUH. Do I have to spell it out for you, D’Souza?
  
  As far as his wife having demanded a separation, that is not the same as a divorce. She may have needed a breather. So why did his wife “demand a separation,” and why did he go out and file for divorce? Did he do it behind Denise’s back? It would be none of our business, D’Souza, except that you call yourself a Christian, you take substantial donations from Christians, and you preside over a Christian college. And D’Souza, methinks there are records that prove you filed for divorce AFTER you attended a Christian event, not “in a state of separation and in divorce proceedings” as you claim. Clarification is required.

  1) We don’t know the reasons for his divorce, nor should we. It’s between him and his wife. So speculating and condemning is foolish. Unless it’s in the public interest, there’s no value to be had other than tabloid salaciousness in “OUTING” someone, even if true. Politicians are a different story whether they are liberal or conservative because such information kept secret can be used to blackmail those who affect public policy and the laws we live under. Such cannot be said about any private citizen, and Dinesh D’Souza is a private citizen.
  2) If every Liberal author who got a divorce was to be similarly dismissed, there would be very few liberal authors – anyone hear from Al Gore lately? And if every liberal that had an inappropriate relationship were dismissed, you wouldn’t be seeing so much of Bill Clinton these days. Instead, he’s the hero of the left.
  3) Even if there was something that went too far in their relationship, to suggest that his entire body of work should be dismissed is desperate stupidity.
  3) Alex McFarland is known to be a bit of a back-stabber and big into retribution. He’s not a man that you want him to know you. After leaving his former post of the institution that ran the conference, he formed his own competing conference, not across the country, but less than 80 miles away. I doubt McFarland would have had a thing to do with it if Dinesh D’Souza hadn’t turned him down to speak at McFarland’s conference. McFarland wa

  “Ever heard of forgiveness of sins.”
  
  Ever heard of “Go forth and sin no more?” If he’s still with this woman, remarried or not, it’s clearly adultery. Jesus’s words, not mine. Your claim that “at least he did it right” is a complete lie; it’s obvious you’re trying to not only justify, but condone his sins (we can speculate why that is: you happen to be remarried by any chance?). IF his divorce was for a valid reason, his only moral alternative was celibacy. Again: Jesus’s words. Not mine.
  
  @Stone
  
  “What would we do without you to keep us in line?”
  
  From the sounds of it, continue sinning and end up in Hell because you didn’t read and follow the Bible, and didn’t think to ask for forgiveness before your death.

  Don’t think that I am just throwing the Bible at homosexuals; I am throwing the facts of nature and nature’s law at them. They can engage in all the sex they want to with the same sex, but let us not pretend that they are “getting married”. Marriage is first and foremost a religious institution, not a secular one; after all, it is being joined in “HOLY MATRIMONY”. Second, marriage is an institution created for the purpose of raising a family, and the last time I checked, same sex couples have a problem reproducing children. Gee, I wonder why that might be, could it be because it violates the laws of nature? Yep, I’m pretty sure that is the reason that same sex couples don’t reproduce, because same sex couples, to put it simply, just aren’t made that way. Therefore, it becomes a violation of the laws of nature, because it is not the means by which the human race reproduces.
  
  Don’t think that I am arguing that they are not born that way either, because yes, we are all born sinners, the same way we are all born ignorant. So you can remain that way, or you can do something about it. Start by educating yourself, and then by seeking God’s will rather than your own. Maybe then you might find learn something called honor and integrity and become the man that God created you to be, rather than the ignorant fool you appear to be by your many posts that I have read from you.

  Hey LOCKED,
  
  I hate to do this to you, but for your own sake before Christ, you better back down and humbly ask for forgiveness for your self-righteousness.
  
  God wants Shepherds who are humble and wise, who judge righteously with mercy, not Sheriffs who
  think it’s their job to keep everyone else in check, and if they stray, pull out the spiritual guns and blast away with condemnation unmixed with mercy. This is not the way.
  
  Have you forgotten Paul’s teaching?
  
  Paul: Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
  
  God gives us room to live life and make our mistakes, and he does not instantly rain fire down from heaven when we do something wrong. Otherwise we would not make it.
  
  Did David go on to marry many wives, even after he fell out of love with his first wife, Mischael? You know he did.
  
  Did David have a romp with the wife of one of his officers? Check. Did he try to cover it up? Check. Did he have the husband murdered when he saw that the cover-up wasn’t going to work? Yup. Did he go ahead and take that woman and marry her after all of this mess happened? Yes he did. And the two of them had a child who Jesus himself said that among men there has never been wiser — Solomon.
  
  Work out your own Salvation with trembling and fear. We are judged with the same measure we used towards others when that day comes.

  Here’s the thing. there are two very devastating ways to attack someone that are used by liberals who want to make you disappear from the fight. #1 is accusing someone of a sexual crime or act that flies in the face of who you really are; whether it be pedophilia, having an affair, or being gay for example. #2 Is accusing them of being mentallty unstable. There is actually a website that teaches ways of psychological “warfare” so to speak. Just think back to Herman Cain, who was the greatest threat to the Obama campaign and the GOP for that matter, the first thing they did was produce all these women all of a sudden and yet when he was forced to finally drop out…you never heard another word. Sarah Palin….Need I say more? It is the tactic of complete destruction of your opponent. They don’t care and will accomplish their goals anyway that they can.

I’ve said it before on the Blaze I’ll say it Again.

Obama’s Mother was a Communist. His Father
(whether Davis or Obama Sr. were both Communist)
His Stepfather was a Communist turned Capitalist.
That’s when his mother divorced him an sent Barack
To live with her Communist Parents in Hawaii.
His Mentors were ALL Communist.
His Friends an Pastor are Avowed Communist.
Most if not ALL of his Cabinet an Closest Advisers
Are Communists.
He worships at the Alter of Saul Alinsky
What the Hell else do you think Obama would be ?
Communism is basically all he knows or has ever been
Taught .

So for those of you who say there’s no difference between
Obama an Romney you couldn’t be more wrong.
While Romney is somewhat Progressive an too
Moderate for My tastes.
I will be First in line at My Polling Place to Vote for Him.
Because Obama is that Bad an must be Removed.

Keep this in mind for the next 2 weeks.
The only thing between you an a Dictatorship is
The 2nd Amendment an with 2 possibly 3 picks on
The Supreme Court in the next 4 years that Freedom
Along with MOST others Could an Likely Would Disappear.

While Mitt Romney has never been my first pick in fact
He ranked just above Jon Huntsman in the list of Contenders
In the Primaries.
I’m chomping at the bit to Vote Nov 6th for him to end this
Nightmare that is Barack Obama POTUS.
But I’m in probably the Reddest State in America.

That being said, his comments have the ring of truth to me. May God bless him and his new love.

  Gee whiz. I have been a Christian and a churchgoer (in many different denominations, liberal to ultraconservative) for a very long time and NEVER heard that it wasn’t ok to be engaged while in the process of divorce. What I have heard is that God hates divorce. (Source: the Bible). Back when the book was written, a man said “I divorce you” three times and the divorce was done. No fuss, no muss. Women didn’t have the same option. When we start judging and setting rules that God didn’t set, we run the risk of major doctrinal error and major breach of God’s standard of love, grace and mercy. Our hearts should grieve for the lost marriage but not set artificial measurements of when the marriage was over.

  Gee whiz. I have been a Christian and a churchgoer (in many different denominations, liberal to ultraconservative) for a very long time and NEVER heard that it wasn’t ok to be engaged while in the process of divorce.
  —–
  First, what are you, a liberal Christian or a conservative one? Because you can’t be both. What you are saying rings as true as if I claimed, “I’ve been in liberal political circles and ultraconservative political circles, and I’ve never heard that gay marriage is wrong.”
  
  As for what the Word of God, our ultimate source of Truth, says, “process of divorce” is not a marital status. You are either married ACCORDING TO PRESENT LAW or you are not, period. You are also saved or you are not. Let me give you another analogy to drive the point home. Your claim is akin to a Mexican saying, “I was in the process of becoming an American citizen and nobody told me it was illegal for me to vote.”
  
  Your thoughts and feelings hold no legal weight from God’s standpoint. You either align yourself with the commandments of the Word of God or you don’t belong to his Kingdom, period. It’s black or white, MARG. God is not a liberal.

  @ Margyt, If memory serves me right, in Islam if a man wants to devorce one of his wives all, all he has to do is repeat 3x I devorce you, not in christianity.

  KRYPTONITE,
  
  Are you sure your understanding of God’s word is the last word on this “married but getting divorced and now dating a new person” situation?
  
  Let me say why I don’t think our first knee-jerk reaction is Biblical.
  
  Let’s consider Jesus’ own example. Did you know he was married? !!! NO he wasn’t !!! I know you are probably shouting to me.
  
  The Old Covenant was a marriage contract – between God and Israel. Now, it’s vital to understand that the Being in the Pillar of Cloud by day and Pillar of Fire by Night that Israel followed around in the desert and finally entered into a Marriage Covenant with was Christ. 1 Cor 10:4
  
  When Christ came to earth as a human, he was still married to Israel. But you know what….. he started courting what would become his new Bride – THE CHURCH – while he was still married to Israel!!
  
  Didn’t he know that fraternizing with his fiance and presenting her to the world as his true love before being divorced from his wife is just unseemly?
  
  He was still married until his death, which as we all know releases you from a marriage contract.
  
  Christ might have a different perspective than we do on the actions of Dinesh. I am keeping my own mouth closed about the standing of Dinesh before God, because as the example of David shows, we may condemn, while God may have already forgiven.

  ZEITGEISTBUSTER
  If you want to play with the meaning of adultery a la Clinton, you do so at your own peril.
  
  Israel (the nation) is Yahweh’s wife, whom He divorced because of spiritual adultery (Jer. 3), but will take back (Eze. 11:19-20; Rom. 11:25-27). The Church (Jews and Gentiles) is the bride of Christ.
  
  I don’t pretend to know everything, but I do know the foundations. One of the reasons many Christians are so confused about Israel and her place in God’s plan is that somehow they were never taught that God made two distinct covenants with humankind. Jews were expecting an earthly savior; one who would save the NATION from their oppressors. He will, but Messiah’s Bride is made up of individuals who PERSONALLY say “I do.”
  
  There are many types of Christ throughout the OT, the rock being one of them, but always in the context of Redeemer//Savior:
  
  “For your Maker is your husband, the Lord [lit. Yahweh] of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer (we know that is Christ) is the Holy One of Israel.” (Isa. 54:5)
  
  Paul’s definition of marriage is clear-cut:
  
  “For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.” (Rom. 7:1-3)
  
  So Paul corroborates what Jesus said in Mk. 10:11. Once lust gets the upper hand, our natural inclination is to embrace shades of righteousness.

  DORA GASBAG, I agree, somebody out there really should produce some records for us to see. Something like a real birth certificate, college transcripts would be nice. And, if tax returns are your only comeback. Just remember, Romney has released just as many of his records as did John Kerry, and John McCain when they ran for the presidency.

  Dora….prove your innocence…really? let’s try this one on for you, prove to us you are not from Satan…..go on, give us proof that Satan is not your father……come on….admit it if you do not have proof……kinda silly I know, but that is why our judicial system was not intended to prove innocence, but the burden of proof is on the accuser. God help people like you….

  Well, she’s right. What does this have to do with Obama’s college records, for crying out loud? Nobody is asking him to post them on the Internet. He does owe King College transparency. Let him show the hotel records, as well as proof that Smith is lying about when he filed for divorce.
  
  Except for a few of us you are all arguing that since Obama is hiding his records, D’Souza should too. Since Obama is a liar, who cares if D’Souza is too. All that matters is that he has an anti-Obama movie. So how are your principles any different from those of liberals? You are all behaving like anti-Obama hacks.

  Produce evidence to prove the positive, in other words prove he did it. One cannot prove a negative.

This is just getting rediculus. The dems have made a freeking mockery of our political system. Having nothing sucessful to stand on they are willing to win, playing the dirtiest a political party has ever stooped to and take it by lies, devision and masking thier true intentions. And there sits thier base. Also willing to win at all costs just so they can have their way. America, what happened to you?

Should’nt have suspended your engagement Dinesh. Don’t let these bottom feeders bully you. 2016 is doing extremely well and if it were me, I’d “Lawyer up”. and destroy these assclowns and the publication they write for. This is’nt even a case of spinning your words out of context, it was total fabrication. I say go for the throat. In the end you will be vindicated and nobody will think less of you

  Wait until it’s irrefutably exposed that Obama is actually gayer than a 3 dollar bill. Chris Matthews’ leg will probably explode.

  So you don’t believe those gals who took Herman down.
  You are a sad person.
  The hotel can produce records ti end this “lie”.
  Seems to me this was more of a one night stand if he ended the engagement.
  Ain’t love grand?

  DORA GASBAG, Nothing was ever proven regarding those women who made those false accusations against Cain. Well, except one suddenly had enough funds in her bank account to keep her from finally filing for bankruptcy. Naturally, you’d be all WETSU for their stories.
  As for the hotel showing the records, I’m almost certain they wouldn’t violate their own privacy rules, or take the chance of getting sued. Even if it showed that Denish is correct. But, you would probably like to go the illegal way to get info such as what happened to Joe The Plumber within hours of his saying what he did to 0bama. Public records employees were illegally releasing his records to the press. Yep, the Dem-wit way.

Whether you or I think this guy did anything morally questionable is not the question…it’s whether these “reporters” are indeed lying about what was said..I think I believe Mr. D’Souza …the reporters are par for the course I’m afraid…I read another post somewhere…where it was said..no matter what team obama does..no problem…one slip up by a conservative…it’s front page news…getting a little old…I say fight em Mr. D’Souza.

D’Souza is a good man. He is unfairly being victimized to suppress his views. It is a shame what our news organizations have come to. I believe Dinesh.
