The Chrisleys rose to fame with their USA network show Chrisley Knows Best, which chronicled the exploits of their tight-knit family. But prosecutors said they engaged in an extensive bank fraud scheme and hid their earnings from tax authorities while showcasing their extravagant lifestyle.
E! reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were initially indicted in August 2019 and a new indictment was filed in February of this year. Prosecutors allege that the couple submitted fake documents to banks when applying for loans. The trial is getting underway just days after E! announced that it is moving forward with a new dating series, Love Limo, hosted by Todd Chrisley and weeks after the announcement that reality shows Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley have been renewed on USA Network and E!, respectively.
