I have recently been binge-watching this hit TV sitcom Chrisley Knows Best. It is an American reality TV series on the USA Network. It revolves around the lives of Georgia’s business tycoon Todd Chrisley and his wealthy Christian family. Roswell and Alpharetta, both near Atlanta, hosted the show before it moved to Nashville. There are many funny memes, puns, and comebacks. You might not know these things happened behind the scenes.
Todd Filed for Bankruptcy Protection in 2012
Todd applied for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in August 2012, citing his assets at $4.2 million and debts at $49.4 million. The father of five, as stated by his solicitor, faces a financial predicament. This is due to the collapse of a $30 million immobilisation loan, which left him liable. He claimed in a court filing just $55 in a checking account and $100 in cash.
Todd’s Tumultuous Relationship with His Son Kyle
Todd has a very complex friendship with Kyle. According to Kyle, he has been booted off the family show. He lost his daughter Chloe’s custody to his aunt. She then started featuring Chloe on Chrisley Knows Best to boost the ratings.
Todd denied Kyle’s claims, saying his son had bipolar disorder and was self-medicated. “Kyle is bipolar. Usually, bipolar people need a way to self-medicate. Kyle has done this since he was young,” Todd told E! News. “What’s better for him?”
Julie’s Tragic Past
Julie has grown up in a trailer park in Winchester, South Carolina. Her dad was a mechanic, and her mother was a bank team member.
In 2002, a tragic event hit her family. Her brother, Grey, committed suicide behind the family trailer. He left behind a son. He was only 25. Then, her dad quit his job as a mechanic to become a Baptist preacher.
Todd’s Sister-in-Law Tried to Extort the Family
Todd’s sister-in-law, Pamela Chrisley, was arrested in 2016 on charges of 2nd-degree harassment for attempting to entrap and extort money.
She allegedly threatened to tell the story to a tabloid. She demanded money in her bank account to keep quiet. Pamela consistently denied involvement in the crimes. Her lawyer suspected the allegations were made to boost the Chrisley family’s reality show ratings.
Todd appeared in Sharknado.
Todd and his kids Savannah and Grayson participated in the notorious Sharknado 4 in 2016: The 4th Awakens. The Chrisleys appeared in the critical blowout as themselves. They were alongside a lineup of stars. These included Tara Reid, Ian Ziering, and Masella Lusha. Last but not least, the great Berlin Wall killer himself, David Hasselhoff, was also present.
Todd’s brother passed away.
Todd was born in Georgia on April 6, 1969, to a stay-at-home mother, Faye, and war veteran, Gene Chrisley. After Todd was born, Faye and Gene had two more children: Randy and Derrick. Tragically, Derrick died while still a kid. His death left the family in such a devastating state. They still refuse to talk about it even all these years later.
Todd Chrisley: Country star?
According to TMZ, in January 2016, Chrisley signed his singer-songwriter career with two big producers from Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI).
TMZ announced that for Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood, Selena Gomez, and Sara Evans, BMI would pair Chrisley. The songwriter Shane Stevens was involved as part of the contract. TMZ even got Chrisley’s photo in Evans’ studio. They released a tune called “Infinite Love” that peaked in July 2016 on the Billboard country charts at No. 39.
Some of those sexuality rumours are from Todd Chrisley’s son.
Kyle Chrisley told Life & Style that his father is gay. “All people he considers his world’s best friends … they’re gay,”
Kyle said. “I got to work for him at Chrisley Wealth Management. If a wealth manager needed to take a piss, he would jokingly ask, ‘You want me to take it for you?'” Kyle scoffed when discussing Todd’s friendship with Julie’s wife. “If the money weren’t there, she would have left a long time ago.”
