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.

Extra fruity for that extra long haul.
That guy looked about as straight as Liberace or Paul Lynde.
I’ve never heard of the guy; and I don’t know why people watch these shows.
There’s never anything ‘reality’ about them.
Isn’t $2 million similar to Hunter’s amount?
I’m glad to say I have no idea who these people are.
Read later.
I have no idea as to who these people are.
In times past, even a gay man knew how to step up and be a father and satisfy himself within a marriage if he chosen to enter one.
If you didn’t know this guy was a fruitcake within the first few
Minutes of seeing him your gaydar is broken
Saw the so once. Shocked, shocked I tell you to find out he’s gay.
Total phony can’t believe any watched the show besides house wives need something else to watch after RuPaul’s Drag Race
And one of the older sons of that creepy super-breeder Duggar clan has been sentenced to prison for dealing in kiddie porn. The judge, who’s presided over a number of similar cases, said it was some of the vilest stuff he’d ever seen, some of it involving an 18-month-old baby.
I suspected Todd Chrisley is a little light in the loafers.
“Picture-perfect image”? Somebody’s gaydar is way broke. I knew he was on the DL the first time I saw him.
A pendulum...swinging both ways.
What that guy ?
You didn’t need Gaydar
He’s wasn’t just Gay.. he was flaming gay
Never heard of him.
Likewise. They are demimondes of a dark and sick world.
I only saw it once… on the free tv offered aboard a flight. I certainly agree with your assessment. I don’t even remember the story of that episode, but it just seem so scripted. Although just about all reality shows strike me that way
WOW I WOULD HAVE NEVE GUESSED THAT HE WAS GAY.
Does anybody actually believe that actors and stories presented on tv actually represent reality or have useful truth??
