Passengers doubt attack by Joel Osteen's wife
02:31 PM CDT on Wednesday, August 13, 2008
HOUSTON -- Passengers have told a jury that they don't believe the wife of renowned pastor Joel Osteen assaulted a flight attendant.
Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown claims in her lawsuit that Victoria Osteen began yelling at her and then threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her when a spill on the armrest of her first-class seat wasn't quickly cleaned up.
But three passengers on the plane testified Wednesday that they were sitting in the first-class section and that they never heard or saw anything that would have indicated Victoria Osteen assaulted the flight attendant.
The alleged incident happened before the start of a 2005 flight from Houston to Vail, Colorado.
Brown is asking for an apology and 10 percent of the net worth of Victoria Osteen, the co-pastor of Houston's famed Lakewood Church.
