Let us explore the facts!

Todd Chrisley Gay: How Did The Rumors Spark?

One can say that Todd Chrisley has led an interesting life so far. The reality TV star has dealt with several issues, including family drama and tax evasion problems. Although ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ throws light on lots of aspects, his life has seen many dramas apart from it. Talking about his personal life, he shares a strained relationship with some of his children. At the same time, Todd has been dealing with gay rumors for years. While Todd Chrisley Gay speculations have already taken over social media and the Internet, there are only a few people who know how it all started.

Todd Chrisley’s sexual orientation was questioned for the first time after his son, Kyle Chrisley, made a comment. The latter claimed that his father allegedly tried to hide his true self. While speaking to InTouch magazine, Kyle commented on his dad’s sexuality and called him gay. He further revealed how Todd passed flirting remarks to one of the asset managers at Chrisley Asset Management. This was how Kyle began to shape his opinions about his father being homosexual. On top of that, the real estate tycoon’s son also doubted if his dad was involved with a local doctor. Although the latter’s name is unknown, all these public revelations were enough to strengthen Todd Chrisley Gay rumors.

As months passed by, such gossip became more prominent and gained more attention. Interestingly, back in the day when the Todd Chrisley Gay speculations arose, the 53-year-old dealt with another issue. His daughter, Lindsie Chrisley, ended her relationship with Todd and other family members. She revealed how the business tycoon and her siblings condemned her decision to end her marriage after about a decade. Lindsie clarified that she won’t be rekindling her relationship with her father or anyone else in the family.

Todd Chrisley Gay: The Real Estate Expert Addresses The Rumors!

Chrisley Knows Best star has been accused of being gay for years. Who would believe that his own son gave birth to online speculations? On top of that, reports suggesting Todd shared an affair secretly also turned out to be troublesome for the reality TV celebrity. With these factors around, it was evident for Todd Chrisley Gay speculations to rise beyond the expected level. But like most reality personalities, Chrisley has addressed such claims and cleared out the air.

The real estate tycoon appeared in one of the episodes of Chrisley Confessions podcast. He shared the platform with his son Chase and finally broke his silence on the accusations he faced. While many fans assumed that Todd would deny having any gay affair, what he replied was extremely unexpected. For the uninitiated, Chrisley has been accused of sharing a homosexual relationship with a former business partner. Coming back to his statement, the millionaire did not deny the claim in a clear way.

While acknowledging multiple high-profile personal scandals, Todd answered every claim sarcastically. Further, he called his ex-business partner, Mark Braddock, a toad and said that he looked like a thumb. He also noted that his fling with Mark has witnessed several changes in the last few months. Moreover, there are two sides to his statement made during the podcast. Firstly, Todd Chrisley was not offended by the gay affair accusations. But what bothered him was his link up with a man whom he considered unattractive. Isn’t it weird?

Todd Chrisley Gay Affair: Who Is Mark Braddock?

It becomes nearly impossible for one to reconstruct his or her public image after getting into a certain controversy. In the case of Todd Chrisley, there are numerous feuds and troubles registered under his name. While everyone knows about the financial issues and tax evasion cases he has been through, the reality TV star once had a gay affair. Only few know the details about Todd having an affair, but it has a lot to do with the bank frauds Todd has dealt with.

His image apparently got ruined after he and his wife were found guilty of getting involved in a fraud conspiracy. This has very much to do with Todd’s ex-business partner, Mark Braddock. He accepted helping the couple with these feuds. He revealed supporting Todd and his wife in committing fraud and also witnessed other crimes. Not only this, but Braddock also claimed to have a gay affair with the father of five. It created a huge fuss and drama while Todd was already dealing with bank fraud.

While the real estate tycoon was often called to court for trial, Mark provided shocking testimony and also confessed to having a year-long affair with the millionaire. Although both of them were married to their respective wives, Chrisley and Braddock had a romantic relationship. Since both of them have worked together, rumors about gay affairs seemed acceptable. However, later on, the alleged secret affair ended, and the businessman called their close relationship as a ‘brotherhood.’

Todd Threw Braddock Out Of The Office!

It is true that Braddock has been a married man for more than three decades. He and his wife, Leslie, got married in 1987 and will be celebrating their 36th anniversary this year on October 10. Apparently, after the truth surfaced, Leslie stood by his side and supported him. It is believed that Mark’s testimony turned the Chrisleys into the FBI for tax evasion fraud. The entire legal trial and financial problem affected his relationship with Todd. Their relationship fell apart, and the self-turned-businessman reportedly threw Mark Braddock out of his office. Chrisley even threatened him to call up the police in the workplace.

There have been a few instances when Todd’s son Chase claimed Mark to have changed his side of the story five times. In fact, Todd also clapped back at the rumors and instead spoke about his own sexual prowess. According to a post published by Business Insider, Mark testified of having an intimate and personal relationship with Todd Chrisley. He explained about having a personal connection for about a year, and then they continued being friends. The duo remained close and worked together until 2012, when everything started falling apart. Braddock also unveiled a surprising fact before the public. He opened up about paying a certain amount to a blackmailer just to keep their relationship a secret from everyone.

The Gay Rumors Do Not Bother Todd

It has been more than a decade since Todd Chrisley has been facing doubt over his sexuality. Netizens still believe that he might come out of the closet soon in order to turn the gay rumors true.

He appeared on The Domenick Nati Show and admitted that the online theories and other sorts of queries do not bother him.

While addressing the gossip, Chrisley explained that disappointment to him would mean that he disagrees with someone being gay. Further, he clarified that one’s identity and sexuality is not a choice that an individual makes. It is something the way God has created for oneself. Furthermore, Todd confessed to being straight even after other people’s opinions were everywhere. This is what he said in reaction to people’s opinions, “I’m never going to have a drought.”
