Todd Chrisley Ordered to Pay $755,000 in Defamation Case

Reality TV star Todd Chrisley is liable for defamatory statements against a Georgia tax investigator, amidst ongoing financial and legal challenges.

Todd Chrisley has been ordered to pay $755,000 to Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Amy Doherty-Heinze for defamation.
The judgment includes $350,000 in compensatory damages, $170,000 in punitive damages, and $235,000 in litigation expenses.
Chrisley, currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for bank fraud and tax evasion, attended the trial virtually.
His attorney expresses concerns over First Amendment implications and plans to appeal the decision.
The defamation arose from accusations made by Chrisley on social media and podcasts against Doherty-Heinze during a 2017 tax evasion investigation.
