A week ago, Joel Osteen made headlines when it was revealed that a plumber discovered thousands of dollars stashed inside a bathroom wall at Lakewood Church. This week, the pastor is being blamed for a restaurant employee being fired.
TikTok user Nick Stanley, who goes by the username nickandsoph, claims he was fired from his restaurant job in Southern California after he posted a selfie video with Osteen, wherein he blindsided the pastor by asking him, “You know you’re a piece of s––t, right?”
The video went viral and now has over 9 million views. After Stanley insulted Osteen, Osteen can be seen walking away, smiling and chuckling. After Osteen is out of view, Stanley looks back into the camera and says, “He knows.”
In a follow-up video explaining how he got the video with Osteen, Stanley is wearing a hat that says “be kind,” while again calling Osteen a “piece of s––t,” as well as a “monster.”
