Victoria Osteen, Wife of Preacher Joel Osteen, Begins Civil Trial Wednesday

Victoria Osteen, the wife of famed evangelist Joel Osteen, began her trial on Wednesday after a flight attendant sued her.

Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown filed a lawsuit against Osteen, claiming that Osteen assaulted her before the start of a 2005 flight from Houston to Vail, Colo.

Brown alleges Victoria Osteen threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her in the left breast during an angry outburst over a stain on her first-class seat.

Brown wants an apology and punitive damages amounting to 10 percent of Victoria Osteen's net worth as part of her suit.

According to an Federal Aviation Administration report, Victoria Osteen asked another attendant to clean a liquid on her first-class seat armrest. When that attendant said she would get another flight attendant, Osteen grabbed a second flight attendant and took her to the seat.

The second attendant said she would call cleaning personnel and headed to the cockpit, the FAA said. Victoria Osteen followed her and came across Brown, whom she pushed and elbowed in an attempt to get to the cockpit, according to the report.

Brown's suit claims the flight attendants asked to have Victoria Osteen removed from the plane. Hardin says Victoria Osteen and her family left voluntarily.

Joel Osteen is the preacher for the Lakewood Church, a mega-church with 42,000 members. Services are held at a 16,000-seat facility that was formerly the Houston Rockets' basketball arena. His weekly television address is broadcasted nationally and internationally.
