The couple rose to reality TV fame in 2014 with the premiere of their reality TV show, “Chrisley Knows Best.”
The show centered around Todd, a real estate mogul, self-made millionaire, and father with dreams of opening a department store with his real estate company, Chrisley & Company.
While the department store never panned out, Vice reported that at the time of the show’s launch, Todd Chrisley felt “fashion was his calling.”
The focus of the reality series then shifted focus to Todd’s life at home with his God-loving, straight-talking wife, Julie, and their large brood, comprised of children Lindsie, Kyle, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, and granddaughter, Chloe.
“While their lifestyle is over-the-top and their personalities are larger-than-life, the Chrisleys are a very close-knit family who are refreshingly honest and genuinely funny,” a spokesman for USA Network said ahead of the show’s premiere, the New York Daily News reported.
For the first half of the series, the family lived in a 30,000-square-foot mansion north of Atlanta and then relocated to a $3.4 million home in Nashville, Tennessee, Bravo reported in 2019.
Before the series was canceled in light of Todd and Julie’s convictions, it spawned several spinoffs, including “Growing Up Chrisley,” which followed kids Chase and Savannah; “According to Chrisley,” an after-show hosted by Todd; and “What’s Cooking With Julie Chrisley,” a cooking web series hosted by Julie.
Todd Chrisley has reportedly cut loose and is embracing aging behind bars. The reality TV king has reportedly fallen from grace and is no longer aging like a fine wine without his wads full of cash to pay for plastic surgery and hair dye. Some fans, however, admit they aren’t too surprised and question if he’s actually embracing aging or just forced to accept it as he’s rotting behind bars without access to his lavish lifestyle.
Todd Chrisley Cuts Loose, Forced To Embrace Aging Behind Bars
Speaking to Daily Mail Online, a source close to the Chrisley family claims Todd Chrisley is unrecognizable as he no longer has access to his lavish lifestyle that has allowed him to go to war with the natural process of aging. His Botox is fading, his sink is starting to sag, and his hair has started to go grey. All of his older children have admitted on various podcasts that it was a bit startling to see how different their father looks behind bars without his routine Botox treatments and blonde hair.

While embracing aging may not be something Todd Chrisley has much of a choice but to accept behind bars, the inside source claims he’s also had a change of heart in the guilt department. From the very beginning, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie have always claimed to be victims. They claimed they were set up. And, they claimed they were innocent of everything they’ve been accused of.
The source claims that in the four months, Todd has been behind bars, he’s had a lot of time to think about what caused him to be in the position he’s in. And, the source claims Todd Chrisley has finally come to terms with the fact that his own greed is to blame for the reason both himself and his wife are currently rotting behind bars.
12 years is a very, very long time and it already feels like a lifetime to him. Todd is starting to feel hopeless. He is aware that his greed caused all of this

They Are Fighting For An Appeal
The insider did affirm Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie hired a very powerful attorney to file an appeal and get their conviction overturned. The chances of that happening, however, seem to be unfounded as federal convictions only get overturned about 5 percent of the time.
The source went on to reveal: “After their conviction, Todd hired power attorneys at Burr and Forman to take on their appeal, but it is going so slow for them. They were told by people on the inside very familiar with the process that, despite them believing they did not get a fair trial and the court errored, overturning the jury’s decision is next to impossible. They are both aware of this.”
Why do you think Todd and Julie decided to fight for an appeal to overturn their case after being told it was highly unlikely to go anywhere? Do you think they should have just plead guilty and hoped for a reduced sentence? Share your thoughts with us in the comments down below. And, keep coming back for more Chrisley news.
