The backstory:

The eldest Chrisley daughter is notably estranged from her parents, Todd and Julie, and has faced allegations that she cooperated with the federal government during a federal fraud case against them.

The Chrisleys, who used to reside in Georgia, rose to fame through the USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best. 

The show, which debuted in 2014, followed the family’s lavish lifestyle and Todd Chrisley’s role as a strict but comedic patriarch. 

In 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted in federal court on charges including bank fraud and tax evasion and were later sentenced to prison. 

In 2025, the couple received presidential pardons from President Trump, bringing renewed public attention to the Chrisley family amid Kyle Chrisley’s ongoing legal issues.
