Todd and Julie Chrisley’s reality TV show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” became popular, in part, for their apparent family values. They were often seen on the show trying to teach their children how to be good Christians and live moral, honest lives. But we know that Todd acted one way on the TV show and a whole other way off camera, in a sort of a “do as I say, not as I do” lifestyle. From the vulgar and disturbing things Todd allegedly said and did to numerous employees at his company, to the well-documented threats Todd made to his own daughter when she dared to go against his alleged demands for her to lie about a Georgia Department of Revenue employee, to the allegations of violence leveled against Todd by his ex-wife …Todd Chrisley was a less than stellar example for his kids. Julie may not have been so brash about her moral imperfections, but she did her share of lying and cheating which was also documented in police reports and court documents. Yet, what most of the public knew about the Chrisleys were the life lessons they preached on their TV show. Todd said to his youngest child on one of their episodes “there’s never a right way to do the wrong thing.” It’s RICH of Todd to say this knowing that the episode was filmed after he and Julie were indicted on federal tax evasion and bank fraud charges, and were awaiting trial. If the Chrisleys actually practiced what they preached, perhaps they never would’ve lied to and scammed so many people over the years, let alone be accused of being the ringleaders of a years-long $36,000,000 fraud scheme. But as we’re about to find out, the Chrisley’s don’t seem to think the rules apply to them.
