Todd Chrisley Ordered to Pay $755,000 for Libel and Slander

The former reality TV star faces additional legal repercussions while serving a prison sentence for financial crimes.

A federal jury ordered Todd Chrisley to pay $755,000 in damages to a Georgia Department of Revenue agent for libel and slander.
Chrisley, currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for financial crimes, was found to have defamed the agent in social media posts and podcasts.
The damages include $350,000 in compensatory damages, $170,000 in punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.
The libel case is separate from the Chrisleys' previous convictions for bank fraud, tax evasion, and other charges.
The Chrisleys are appealing their convictions, with their next court date scheduled for April 19.
