Victoria Falls?

Don’t know if you’ve been following this story, but Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown says that the diva antics of Victoria Osteen (wife of Megapastor Joel Osteen) on a flight to Vail, CO in 2005, left her a mess. Brown is hoping that a Houston jury will believe that her hemorroid outbreak was caused by the stress of being slapped around by the holier-than-thou shiksa, seeking an apology and punitive damages that amount to 10 percent of Osteen’s worth.

This is no chump change: weekly sermons from their pulpit are broadcast internationally. The couple also shares royalties from Joel Osteen’s best-selling books. Their megachurch is a converted basketball stadium, where up to 42,000 congregants attend each week’s fire and brimstone hot topics.

Victoria Osteen, the co-pastor of Lakewood Church, allegedly became violently abusive when a small stain on her first-class seat wasn’t immediately wiped up by Brown. Ms. Osteen allegedly demanded that a white flight attendant serve her instead, grabbing Brown by the shoulders, elbowing her and pushing her out of the way.

The Federal Aviation Administration has already fined Osteen $3,000 for the incident. Opening arguments for the greatest trial of the year were heard last week and resume today in Houston.

Eat your heart out, Tammy Faye.
