Lamb's confession sparked a series of legal actions against Daystar. Former Daystar executive Jeanette Hawkins filed a lawsuit against the network, claiming that her knowledge of the affair caused "great emotional pain".<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20024561-504083.html | work=CBS News | first=Naimah | last=Jabali-Nash | title=Rev.
