Nick Stanley's viral video with televangelist Joel Osteen caused a sensation. It also cost him his job.
By Ed Scarce December 12, 2021
Perhaps not the wisest move by the young man, to call the famous piece of shit televangelist a piece of shit to his face, and at the restaurant where he worked. But the clip has since gone viral and might end up doing some good, as a GoFundMe account has been set up with the aim of helping the truly unfortunate, something Osteen with all his preaching about Jesus doesn't ever bother to do himself, what with his prosperity gospel idolizing greed and selfishness.

The man who was fired from his job after posting a TikTok video of himself making an offensive comment toward popular televangelist Joel Osteen has set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for nonprofits in Houston and Los Angeles. So far, the fundraiser has raised almost $4,600 as of Friday afternoon.
Nick Stanley posted a 16-second video of himself calling Osteen a piece of s earlier this week. The restaurant server said he was fired days after the video amassed more than 6 million views. [Now over 14million.]

Who would do that not expecting to get fired? And, he's the one who posted it.
Sounds like "going out in a blaze of glory".

(65,078 posts)I hope i'm right that this guy already had a new, better job lined up.
His GFM account says it's to give to nonprofits.
I hope that's why.

(65,078 posts)...i appreciate the sentiment. Ostenn deserves that and much more.
I'm more curious if this guy already had something better lined up and figured "What the hell".
He got fired. Big deal, he was quitting anyway.
Just idle speculation.
