Josiah Johnson Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Brothers Jeremiah and Paul Johnson

In a public announcement, Josiah Johnson revealed that he and his wife, Jenn, have filed a federal defamation lawsuit against his brothers Jeremiah and Paul Johnson. Represented by Norred Law, a leading defamation firm in North Texas, the lawsuit aims to address alleged false statements and misconduct within the family and their ministry circles.

Josiah alleges that Paul Johnson conspired with Jeremiah and other ministry leaders to publish a 25-page article containing willful and defamatory falsehoods about him. These actions, Josiah claims, were part of an effort to discredit his March 2024 public exposé of Jeremiah’s alleged misconduct in ministry. He plans to provide further details in a forthcoming 30-minute video.

The announcement also implicates Dr. Michael Brown and Dr. Robert Gladstone in what Josiah describes as a broader cover-up of Jeremiah’s actions. He referenced a 2024 meeting led by Gladstone, where Jeremiah and his wife, Morgan, were confronted by local church leaders and urged to resign from ministry. Despite the meeting being recorded, its findings were reportedly suppressed.

Josiah expressed that pursuing legal action is their last resort, as previous attempts for resolution within church frameworks have failed. He aims to uncover buried truths through the legal process and hold accountable all who knowingly participated in the alleged defamation and misconduct.

Josiah Johnson’s decision to file a lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict within the Johnson family and associated ministries. As this case unfolds, it raises broader questions about accountability, transparency, and integrity in leadership.
