In The News
Sharon Brown, a Continental Airlines flight attendant, accused Victoria Osteen of assault before a December 19, 2005 flight from Houston, Texas to Vail, Colorado. The Osteen family was escorted off the flight, and the FAA fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 for “interfering with a crew member," which Osteen paid uncontested in order to put the incident behind her. The flight attendant subsequently filed a civil suit against Osteen, seeking an apology plus $405,000 in damages. During the trial, Osteen's attorney, Rusty Hardin, produced witnesses who disputed Brown's allegations of assault; a Houston jury sided with Osteen, clearing her of civil liability on August 13, 2008.
The Greater Southwest Houston Chamber of Commerce named Victoria Osteen a Community Impact Award winner in 2006. Her activities include a regular feature on 89.3 KSBJ—Houston's afternoon drive show with Chuck Pryor and Amanda Carroll. She also supports the organizations Feed the Children and The Bridge, a shelter for battered women. Victoria and Joel were the featured cover story of the May–June 2006 issue of Texas Family. She was also on the cover of Houston Pet Talk magazine, October 2006.
