Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen’s wife, Victoria Osteen, is accused of assaulting a Continental Airlines flight attendant named Sharon Brown on a flight from Houston to Vail, Colorado. Sharon Brown alleges that Victoria Osteen became incensed by a stain on her first class seat and threw her into a bathroom door and elbowed her in the left breast.
The lawsuit against Victoria Olsteen looks like it should be a pretty open & shut case since the FAA has already fined Victoria Olsteen $3,000 for interfering with a flight crew member. According to the report put out by the FAA, Victoria Osteen asked another flight attendant to clean a stain off of her first-class seat and when that attendant said she was going to go get another flight attendant to do so, Victoria Osteen grabbed yet another flight attendant and showed her the seat. The newest flight attendant said she would call the cleaning people and went to the cockpit, where Victoria Osteen followed her and then assaulted Sharon Brown. After allegedly assaulting Sharon Brown, flight attendants asked Victoria Osteen to leave the plane, which she and Joel Osteen did voluntarily.
Now that Victoria Osteen is getting sued, she and her lawyer are trying to get the FAA report thrown out of the court, saying “The FAA does in all due respect an incredibly incompetent investigation”. The lawyer for Sharon Brown said the FAA did an appropriately thorough investigation.
I have previously written a post on Pastor Joel Osteen, but his wife’s brazen assault on an airline stewardess just goes too far… Victoria Olsteen is on an airplane to go to Vail (legendary playground of the uber-rich) and she just cannot tolerate a stain on her first-class seat. After all, it might get on her expensive dress. The wife of America’s most popular pastor Joel Osteen shouldn’t have to tolerate a STAIN, right?! Joel & Victoria Osteen are a shame and embarassment on the Christian faith. Joel Osteen refuses to stand up for what he believes in (or perhaps doesn’t really believe in it at all!) and his wife Victoria Osteen is a snooty, stuck-up, rich baby. Not just a rich baby, but apparently a violent one too. Victoria and Joel Osteen are the perfect match: scam artist and vicious, pampered wife.
I simply don’t understand how 42,000 people in Houston attend Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church services each week when the leadership of Lakewood Church is so obviously terrible. Victoria Osteen should be cleaning toilets for a living and Joel Osteen should be selling cheap crap at local town fairs instead of put on a national pulpit to spew their filth.
Sharon Brown is also apparently having a difficult time getting a fair jury to hear her lawsuit allegations due to the fact that Joel and Victoria Osteen are nationally recognized figures and many potential jurors are fans of Joel Osteen’s television ministries.
I find it truly unfortunate that America has sunk to such a point that Joel Osteen and his degenerate wife Victoria Osteen are our foremost spiritual leaders.
Update August 8, 2008
The NYTimes.com wrote an article on the lawsuit today about Victoria Osteen revealing more details of the lawsuit. Victoria Osteen has been accused by Maria Johnson, one of Sharon Brown’s coworkers at Continental Airlines of even being racist. Johnson claims that Victoria Osteen barged past her and other black employees to go speak to the only white employee and that Mrs. Osteen was dismissive and abusive to Mrs. Brown because of her race. Sharon Brown also called a psychologist, Shayna Patrice Lee, to testify and she said that Sharon Brown suffers from major depression and PTS because of Victoria Osteen’s demeaning and humiliating behavior. It sounds to me like Sharon Brown is reaching a little bit in her claims, but I hope this knocks Victoria Osteen’s overblown ego back into Earth’s atmosphere. What do you readers think? Is Victoria Osteen racist? Was racism a factor in Victoria Osteen’s actions?
I think this is a big lesson for us chtistians that we should watch our behaviour especially in the area of anger . Secondly, we should all realise that Joel’s wife, Victoria is not above mistakes as any normal human being. God is still working on her. I think they are a lovely couple anyway and pray that God should uphold them. Lastly,let those who think they stand take hid lest they fall. We should stop critisizing them and pray for them because they are encouraging millions across the world with their message of hope which is biblical. Shalom!
i am a construction worker and while not working i wouldnt sit on a stain . not in a 50 dollar pair of jeans or a 300 dollar suit. do you know how old the stain was? they left the plane willing she must have not been that upset. assault has a wide varity of actions. just brushing up on someone to leave the confrontion is considered assault in todays world. repeating and escolating anger is what should be considered. we are all tested daily how far we take it should determine our faith. i bet she would not kick a dog park in a handicap spot. i just have a strog feeling you are throwing rocks while living in a glass house.take the plank out of your own eye.
Let him without sin cast the first stone!
Oh come on! She’s only human! All of us have a right to get our value for money, if there was a stain on the seat in a 1st class jet, I think its good that Victoria stood up n said that it had to be cleaned up! Plus the evidence and nature of the statements and demands given by the accuser were ridiculous! 10% of net worth even for an actual, “assault” would be just nuts n it also says loads about the accuser.
There’s nothing wrong in standing for your rights, for what’s right and being strong. Being a good Christian is one thing, being a doormat is another.

You really don’t like the Osteens do you? Envy? Anger? Hot for Victoria and Joel has her? You know I don’t really follow televangelists or any of that crap that’s preached on TV. They’re all thieves and perverts, but aren’t you maybe obsessing a little with this Osteen thing? If he were a millionaire businessman with no ties to the church would you point your finger like you do? If he were a drug dealer with megacash, would you point your finger? So who appointed you the Osteen police? You really need to seek some help. Really. I mean it. Or one day you’ll snap. This is eating you up.

When you examine the ministry of Jesus and his disciples they were humble and if they lived today certainly would not ride
first class! They would make better use of the congregation’s contributions. But the false prophets of today are arrogant and
proud, lovers of money and materialistic. They pay themselves a handsome salary and many live the luxurious life of a rock star….all with the people’s money that is supposed to go to God’s ministry. People have to open their eyes to what is
going on….they are being scammed by con men…all in the name of Jesus. True Christians would manifest the qualities of God’s spirit…love, joy, peace, kindness and longsuffering…just
to name a few and would be satisfied with just “our daily bread.”
yes i do think she is a racist n all so i think joel is the wife n she is big daddy of the home
Ohhh please….simply one more attempt of somebody wanting something for nothing…..the waitresses in the sky are without a doubt some of the rudest people I have seen in terms of fulfilling their duties…they have a captive audience and and the gestapo backing them…….I have seen Victoria on TV and she appears to be very health conscious and a very clean woman. Who knows what that was …it could have been biohazard, yet had Victoria stood and waited until one of the waitresses adressed it one of the other would have rudely told her she MUST sit down immediately …she is in violation of some stupid rule. Victoria, if I could say one thing to you it would be that when you are a well balanced wholesome person such as yourself you must learn that those below you are going to be very envious and jealous and will attempt to drag you down. The only unfortunate event is that they conncocted half truths in an attempt to pull you down and probably have a party with whatever settlement they could basically steal from you. You did what I wished I could do….God does not say we shall be a doormat for every spiritually sick and defficient person who is unhappy in their little world. I was amused in that it sound Joel taught you a couple of basket ball move (going to the hole and accidentally letting a few elbows fly)….bless both of you…my wife and I love to lay in bed Sunday mornings and watch you and we dont feel guilty about not going to church…and life is good. ((Hugs)))

Guess what? This is not the first time Mrs. Olsteen has behaved badley on airplanes. She has been the subject of many posts with other flight attendants on other airlines. Where have you people been?
