Reality TV star Todd Chrisley has built his on-screen career on maintaining an image of a devout Christian, devoted father, and loving husband to his wife and the mother of his five children. But last week that picture-perfect persona was shattered amid claims that the 53-year-old had a gay affair with a former male business partner - who also alleged that he helped him to commit fraud.
On his USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, Todd documented his life as a dedicated father who was focused on raising a family with perfect manners and strong morals alongside with his wife of 26 years, Julie Chrisley, 49, and their five children Lindsie, 32; Kyle, 30; Chase, 25; Savannah, 24; and Grayson, 16.
But now, as Todd and his wife stand trial for bank fraud and evading taxes of up to $2 million, the wholesome family image that they have spent so long projecting to the world has quickly been torn apart.
Over the years, Todd has been accused of being 'controlling' and fabricating perfection for the sake of the show., however the family has somehow seemingly managed to maintain their enormous fan base, with their series still remaining on-screen even as they weathered the allegations about his behavior.
However, in 2019, Todd and Julie were accused of embezzling a staggering $2 million - bringing fresh scrutiny over the wholesome Southern image that they have so long projected onto TV screens the world other.
He and his wife could face up to 30 years of jail time after facing charges of one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, five counts of bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of tax fraud.

Duh.
Just looked him up too. Dude even looks like Liberace.
Who?!
(Honestly, never heard of him)
If I remember right, MTV’s “Real World” was the first “Reality TV” show.
It was the start of what ruined MTV, TV in general, and the last 3 generations of kids (was a very bad influence on culture and music).
Never heard of the guy but his wife looks like she could be his sister.
Just weird.
Me neither.
Never heard of him.
Yes
I accidentally caught part of one episode when the daughter shows up with a practically shaved head. So contrived. The show was a steaming pile of crap.
Had a former boss like that. Multiple indicators too IMHO. If he were to turn out to be gay and leave his wife and kids it would not surprise me one bit.
OTOH, same place, internal customer. Just as nice as could be. Respectful, cooperative, easy-going. Easily one of my best internal customers.
He did the above. I was totally surprised, only clue I got was when he was suddenly showing off a tattoo. I don’t remember the content but I do remember thinking it was totally out of character for him.
Todd does more swishing and prancing than Santa's reindeer.
If you are observant the clues are always there.
All the mannerisms that Barry had that we questioned? He had them all.
He would get upset if I started quoting stuff from the Bible, too.
🤔🤔🤔
Yup.
Gays and women love these “reality” shows. The demographic target audiences.
Gaydar is supposed to be something that gay people have, to spot another gay person, so if you have gaydar, that means you are gay.
The only good thing from The Real World was Rachel Campos.
And Sean Duffy, of course.
You can say that again. I had no idea who this guy was until I read this article. I checked him out and he reeks of poofterism.
Same here!
However, that might be because of his southern accent. Also the fact that his face is all puffy, like Siegfried & Roy. Has he had plastic surgery?
Regards,
He hasn’t had plastic surgery he is addicted to Botox he talks about it all the time on the show, I used to watch all the time because his mom is a hoot she was the ONLY reason the show was worth watching!!
If Chrisley was any lighter, he could float all the way to Uranus.
