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.

Flight attendant Sharon Brown told her story on the stand.

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.
