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.

Simple math would seem to indicate quite a struggle on her part to get him to simply settle down much less conduct himself (at least outwardly, or for the benefit of the children) in the manner of a Christian man.
RIIIIIIIiiiiiight.....
who did not know he was gay?
He cannot contain it!
I always figured wifey was ok with it
I caught a few minutes of this show once or twice. I had no idea what it was about, but, as soon as I saw and heard him enter the screen him, I naturally assumed this Todd guy was the gay character in the show. If there was ever a need for a beard, this guy would be at the front of the line
I saw the guy only once — for about 30 seconds in a commercial. Obvious that he was a homosexual. I can’t believe people are surprised.
He was married before. But you are right, he’s no devout Christian.
“f I remember right, MTV’s “Real World” was the first “Reality TV” show.”
Many people watch these shows including members of my family. I think they don’t see things that we see.
After taking one look at his photograph, my gaydar was instantly activated.
EXACTLY!
I would have been MORE surprised if he had had an affair with a woman!
Or a total complete cuck.
Ask Mrs. Gay Man if she is satisfied. I'll wait.
Single women need gaydar if they hope to have a good marriage. Straight parents have gaydar to protect their children. When my brother was in high school, my dad went with him to job interviews at small proprietor-owned shops if there was any doubt. As a mother, I have had to use it when pastors or teachers suggested a field trip or overnighter. Rarely been wrong, either.
I had one like that years ago. We used to call him "Liberace" behind his back. One of his indicators was that he used to buy a dozen "buns" for the coffee break room, and make a big fuss over the BUNS, asking people, "Do you like BUNS? tee hee hee..."
Nope—that came out in 1992. The first aired in 1973 on PBS, An American Family, featuring the Loud family, parents and several children. It was the first reality show, and also featured the first gay teenager coming out to his family, Lance Loud. The show made him an early "gay icon." He also became a meth addict, and would eventually die of hepatitis and AIDS at age 50.
I’ve never seen a single second of the show, but judging by the pictures in the link, I’d say that he has seen one or two up close.
😛😜😛
Lavender marriages are not uncommon and many of them stay married for life.
Many women do satisfy themselves in lifelong and relatively sexless marriages.
I don’t know who these people are but their pictures give me the creeps. Except for the 16-year-old boy. He may have a chance.
Five minutes of watching Chrisley prance around made me change the channel. He’s as fruity as Fruit Loops!
