GEORGIA – Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were indicted on Tuesday by a grand jury on tax evasion charges by the Northern District of Georgia.
The 12-count indictment, obtained by CNN, also alleges the Chrisleys committed bank fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, among other offenses.
The married couple are stars of the USA Network reality series “Chrisley Knows Best,” which follows their family’s over-the-top lifestyle and activities.
Before the indictment was issued, Todd Chrisley took to Instagram to deny the claims, implying the charges are based on evidence presented to investigators by a disgruntled former employee.
He alleged this employee, whom he did not name, was stealing from the family, created false documents, forged their signatures and bugged their home. Chrisley said it’s the employee’s second attempt to get the family charged and called it an act of retaliation.
“I’m telling you all this now because we have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of,” he wrote on Instagram. “Not only do we know we’ve done nothing wrong, but we’ve got a ton of hard evidence and a bunch of corroborating witnesses that proves it.”
“Chrisley Knows Best” has aired on the USA Network since 2014 for a total of seven seasons.
A spin-off, “Growing up Chrisley,” which focuses on children Chase and Savannah, premiered in April.
LOL, my wife despises them, him in particular. She was crowing last night when I told her about this.
Savannah is hot....
One thing I learned from living in socialist/communist countries - don’t ever flaunt your wealth. Hide it. The government is huge, has immense power, and someone is always watching.
That guy is creepy as hell.
The whole family should have been charged years ago for aggravated obnoxiousness..
Maybe there will be a new cross over show of the Chrisleys and 30 days behind bars?
I know a guy who is a millionaire.
He looks and dresses like a beach bum.
To look at him you would think he was a homeless guy!......
Eeee yep...
Never heard of them before this.
Show is hilarious...
Hey, I learned that living in the Pacific Northwest ...before it went totally socialist. It’s human nature...you got it and I want it...and therefore theft is rationalized.
Wonder why this took so long? He’s constantly in financial trouble.
Never heard of them. I am so out of touch :)
Talk about displaying your assets.....

Our tax code gives license for the Deep State to basically declare anybody a criminal.
Nobody, and I mean nobody tops former Governor Edwin Edwards statement after he was indicted. “I am as innocent today as I was when I was indicted”.
