Multiple TV Personalities/ Shows Leave Daystar Network Amid Ongoing Scandal
Heresy purveyor Daystar Television Network continues to enjoy the fallout from their ongoing scandal, with several shows announcing they are departing or slinking off in silence.
In late November of 2024, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson announced she and her show Laura-Lynn Live at the Eagle’s Nest were parting ways, which was quickly followed by Baruch Korman of Love Israel. Since then, others have parted, including arch-heretic Jesse Duplantis, prominent false teachers Hank and Brenda Kunneman, and the false prophet Lance Wallnau. Jack Graham of Powerpoint Ministries has also left.
In Duplantis’ case, he released a video filled with scripture twisting befitting his hatred for Christ and sound doctrine, explaining that he’s leaving in order to grow and make more money.
Even with some of those devils gone, Daystar’s list of remaining baddies runs long, with a who’s who of prosperity heretics and false teachers that includes Sid Roth, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Jim Bakker, Marcus Lamb, Bill Winston, Perry Stone, Joel Osteen, Joseph Prince, TD Jakes, Andrew Womack, and Paula White.
Daystar has been embroiled in a months-long controversy after Jonathan Lamb and his wife Suzy made a public allegation that Joni Lamb and Daystar tried covering up their daughter’s sexual abuse at the hands of a male relative. They say not only did Joni encourage them not to go to the police, but she even defended the perpetrator and made justifications of why he couldn’t possibly have done it, even going so far as to suggest that she prayed to God and that God told her the alleged molester was innocent.
Furthermore, Suzy has alleged that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by a chiropractor who worked for the family in the Network’s green room. After telling Marcus and Joni, Marcus paid off the chiropractor, and Joni reportedly told her not to tell anyone about it because they needed to protect the company’s reputation.
Daystar has forcefully denied the allegations, declaring that the two are engaged in a “smear campaign against them” and that this is just retaliation from Jonathan for being passed over for the position of network president.

I’m surprised to hear Jesse Duplantis is still alive. Only 75? I remember watching him on TBN in the 90s and I thought he was 70 then.
