Todd & Julie Chrisley Already Nabbed Post-Prison Job
Todd and Julie Chrisley won't be looking for work after they are released from prison because they already have a job.
Lifetime has hired the couple for a brand new reality show, and they are ready to roll the moment they walk out of prison, according to TMZ. Todd is currently in prison in Federal Correction Institution in Pensacola, FL, and Julie is in Federal Medical Center in Lexington, KY, but they should be out in a matter of days after their White House pardon.
The husband and wife were famous for their USA Network show, Chrisley Knows Best, which aired for 10 seasons from 2014 until 2023. The reality series followed the Atlanta-based, self-made multimillionaire, his wife, and their five children, but things weren't always so rosy behind the scenes. There was eldest daughter Lindsie's estrangement from her dad and eldest son Kyle's issues with addiction, but Todd and Julie's legal battles might have been the biggest controversy of all.
In August 2019, the couple was indicted by a federal grand jury on 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy. The Chrisleys denied the charges, but per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, they were found guilty on all charges in June 2022. Julie was also convicted of wire fraud in the case.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months’ probation, while Julie received seven years in prison plus 16 months’ probation, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
The Chrisley family's new show was supposed to focus on daughter Savannah and son Chase's life with their parents behind bars, but the reality series encountered a very unplanned twist — Todd and Julie are joining the cast.
