The Chrisley Knows Best actors Todd and Julie may be facing up to 30 years in prison for tax and banking fraud, but they aren’t letting that stop them from continuing with their podcast and their preaching.
The pair, who will be sentenced in October, was found guilty of a multi-year conspiracy including tax and banking fraud in June.
By exaggerating their income, they were able to obtain a $30 million loan.
Todd was a prosperous Georgia real estate businessman before receiving a reality TV show. Despite their conviction, the show started in 2014 and is being broadcast on the USA Network today.
Additionally, they keep running their successful Apple podcast, Chrisley Confessions.
Revenge is a Drug, Land of Dreams, and Comebacks is the title of the most current episode.
The two begin by talking about how Jesus’s criminal conviction brought them closer together.
However, they continue to insist that they were the ones who were victimised, calling their conviction a “shakedown,” and asserting that they were the victims of an unreliable ex-employee.
People will receive their just desserts, but it will take God’s timing.
It is not on our schedule. Because we’re hurting so much and feel like we’re haemorrhaging, we just want to see a little bit of love from someone else, so that’s where we want it to move quickly,’ Julie added.
The evidence of Mark Braddock, a 53-year-old married ex-employee, who revealed to a jury that he not only assisted the pair with their scam but also had a gay affair with Todd, contributed to the couple’s downfall.
Todd and Julie have consistently charged him with lying.
Clearly, we employed this person, and you must be wondering how he gets away with it. I’ve asked God to remove this hatred from my heart.
Julie expressed her frustration at seeing Braddock go “without a scrape.”
“I am aware that there are times in your life when you feel like you are haemorrhaging to death and you can’t even see a scratch on the person who you believe has lied to you, treated you unfairly, or cheated you.
That is what makes it challenging.
This podcast is as authentic as it is humanly possible to be.
You are aware of the storms we have experienced. We can only be honest with one another and share our daily routines.
We sin every single day; it’s not intended to be some “teachy” where we sit on a throne and act like we’re better than everyone else.
Our mission includes letting people know that they are not fighting this battle alone. to show them that we all face difficulties.
We all experience struggles, whether it be while driving to work with children yelling or trying to figure out how to pay for groceries this month. We want to let you know you’re not by yourself.
We may have different struggles, but Chrisley Confessions will never be one of those podcasts where we pretend that everything is fine in our lives. Instead, we’ll tell you that we’ve been incredibly fortunate.
God has blessed us with everything we have, so it is all a result of him.
Todd also acknowledged that as their fame grew, he became a “slave to money.”
“I became confused when I couldn’t distinguish between my self-worth and my net worth.”
“Everything was being created around that net worth, so the more my net worth increased, the less I concentrated on my self-worth. around objects.
‘When the things begins owning you instead of you owning it, and you know when I talk about that, you have all those cars you have to maintain, residences you have to keep up with, and vacations you have to do to keep up with everyone around you that’s in your social network.
“You turned into a slave to the things you believed would offer you serenity.
“It was all about surpassing the previous.” We still carry out it.
“We may all grow together when we reach a point where we stop striving to outdo our neighbours and instead focus on bringing them to where we are.
“I sank into that.”
You end up being a slave to the things you believed would bring you serenity.
So, “I became lost in it and for the rest of my life because I think I was too uninformed — and by ignorant, I mean I [didn’t] know that I understood how to distinguish self-worth from money value.”
He continued that he felt deserving of his money because he put in “14 to 16 hours a day” and presumed others didn’t.
I am aware that the storm we are currently experiencing will eventually pass.
Julie replied, “It might not end the way we want it to end, but it’s going to end exactly the way God intended for it.”
Braddock admitted to Todd and the jury that they were dating.
On October 3, they are anticipated to show up again in court.
