In a shocking turn of events, Julie Chrisley, known for her role on the reality TV show “Chrisley Knows Best,” began serving a seven-year prison sentence at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky in January 2023.
Her conviction stemmed from 12 counts of tax evasion, bank, and wire fraud, leading to a dramatic change in her life.
Julie’s legal troubles culminated in a guilty verdict in June 2022, more than two years after both she and her husband, Todd Chrisley, were initially charged.
Throughout the trial, the couple maintained their innocence, claiming that Mark Braddock, a former employee of Todd’s, had committed the crimes while impersonating the real estate mogul in 2012. The verdict, however, did not favor them, leaving their family devastated.
Julie and Todd share a family that includes their daughter Savannah and sons Chase and Grayson. The news of the guilty verdict undoubtedly had a profound impact on their lives, changing the course of their future.
Apart from their biological children, Julie and Todd also share their granddaughter, Chloe, whom they legally adopted in 2016.
Todd, who has a previous marriage to Teresa Terry, is the father of daughter Lindsie and son Kyle, further expanding the complexities of their family dynamics.
