Brian Houston Acknowledges DUI: ‘I Take Full Responsibility’
Earlier in the day, we broke the news that Brian Houston was charged with a DUI in 2022, weeks before resigning from Hillsong church. Houston left the megachurch after being accused by the leadership of committing indiscretions with two women and having a drinking problem, including getting drunk and spending nearly an hour in a woman’s hotel room in 2019.
In an Instagram post, Houston, who we recently featured in our Countdown: Top 10 Most Expensive Meals Brian and Bobbie Houston Expensed to the Church (Number 4 is $2433.38) offered up a personal statement, saying that he only drove a few hundred yards when he was caught, and did so during a time of “immense pressure” and “emotional strain. ” Houston says he’s put all that behind him now and is looking forward to a “fruitful season ahead.”
