Question: We saw Joel and Victoria Osteen on Larry King recently. When asked how the feud with the airlines was going, Victoria said it was going to court. What feud was she talking about?
Answer: A lawsuit filed in 2006 by Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown seeks unspecified damages from Victoria Osteen, wife of Lakewood Church pastor and best-selling author Joel Osteen, for pushing and elbowing Brown in the chest during a disagreement. The incident occurred in 2005 while the Osteens were on a flight to Vail, Colo.
The Federal Aviation Administration fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 after determining she had interfered with a crew member aboard the flight. She paid the penalty, which was not an admission of guilt.
