Summary

The Chrisleys are riding high on their hit reality show and several spin offs, but the cracks are starting to show in their all-American family. Tax fraud allegations have the Feds circling, and some of the Chrisley kids are starting to spill the tea about what’s really happening behind the scenes. When the gossip starts flying, things get ugly real quick. But it’s all a big distraction from the bombshell drama playing out in a federal courtroom.

This episode is the second part of our series, The Shady Bunch. If you haven't listened to episode 1 yet, go back and start there. You'll thank me later.

0:15.0

And a heads up to our listeners. Today's episode discusses mental health issues and self-harm. Please listen with care.

Sachi, you're no stranger to Twitter.com. I'm no stranger to Twitter.com. Correct?

0:35.0

I have no idea what you're talking about. I have never written a tweet in my life.

0:39.0

I know. For a fact, you have sub-tweeted many times. And you have also been the subject of sub-tweets by me. Mostly by you. Yeah, I was gonna say.

0:50.0

Okay, but imagine the person sub-tweeting you wasn't just any hater, but it was actually your dad. How would that make you feel?

0:59.0

I mean, my dad does have a secret Twitter account. And I found out recently and quickly had to make him go private and hide it from everybody.

1:08.0

Because he does sub-tweet me there. So this is just my life. Okay, so what happens in this episode isn't exactly that.

1:16.0

But the Chrisley simply cannot keep their drama to themselves. And it all adds up to one big juicy tabloid mess that as you know, I couldn't look away from.

I cannot wait to tell you about this.

1:47.0

But don't let the smile fool you. She's a serious investigative journalist. And in February 2017, she breaks a huge story about Todd Crisley.

1:58.0

In reality television, Crisley knows best.

I make millions of dollars a year. What he doesn't seem to know is where he lives in real life.

2:06.0

He has the gold, rose. I have the gold. But Georgia's Department of Revenue may try to take some of it after what we're about to show you.

2:15.0

Jody reports that Todd likely evaded Georgia income taxes by claiming to be a resident of Florida on his federal tax filings. And on his bankruptcy paperwork.

It's a pretty brazen claim because Todd's business is based in Georgia and he stars in a show that's all about life in Georgia.

2:37.0

I don't really know how he's going to get away with this light. It seems very easily fact checked.

2:42.0

Well, Jody drops this bomb just as Crisley knows best season five debuts to its biggest audience yet. 2.9 million viewers. And actually, by this point, the Crisley's have left Atlanta.

2:56.0

Now, they live in Tennessee, a state that happens to not have an income tax. Just like Florida. Hmm. Todd denies that he's trying to dodge state income taxes.

3:08.0

By the way, he claims he's been a Florida resident for more than 15 years and that he's always filed his taxes. A month later, Jody comes out with another report.
