After an already explosive week for the Chrisley family, Todd Chrisley accused his daughter, Lindsie Chrisley, of having extramarital affairs with two former stars from The Bachelorette. There are plenty of allegations in the Growing Up Chrisley family, and right now it's a case of he-said,-she-said.
Todd - reality TV star, host, and self-made millionaire - and his wife, Julie Chrisley, have been indicted on 12-counts by a federal grand jury for tax evasion. The charges against the couple include wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Although the pair face upwards of 30 years of prison time, the couple posted bond and are maintaining their innocence. The Chrisleys released a statement alleging their side of the story via Instagram, where they claimed that the charges against them are based on false documents as revenge from an unnamed former employee who they allegedly took to court. More allegations are coming to light just two days after their indictment as Todd's daughter went to the police last month, alleging that her father and her brother, Chase Chrisley, have threatened the release of her sex tape in an attempt to extort her into lying about a certain incident.
According to Us, Todd responded to his daughter's allegations against him and Chase by adding even more allegations. Todd alleges that his daughter had two affairs while married with husband Will Campbell, who she was with from 2012-2016; they attempted to divorce, but later reconciled in 2018. The couple shares a 6-year-old son, Jackson. Todd released a statement about the alleged extortion, saying, "It's heartbreaking and shameful that these kinds of accusations have to be aired in public." Todd then went on to reveal the names of the alleged lovers. He said, "We have tried to keep Lindsie's extramarital relationships with Robby Hayes and Josh Murray private for her sake since August of 2016." Then, in an attempt to clear his name, Todd revealed that the sex tape was of "her and Robby."
The two men that Todd alleged that his daughter had extramarital affairs with both happen to be former Bachelorette stars. Hayes, 30, was a contestant on the 12th season of The Bachelorette (JoJo Fletcher's season) and the runner-up, later appearing on Bachelor in Paradise. Murray, 35, proposed to Andi Dorfman on the 10th season of The Bachelorette and then later proposed to Amanda Stanton on the 3rd season of Bachelor in Paradise. In response to Todd's allegations, Murray simply said that he and Lindsie "have been friends for years." Then the former Bachelorette star went on to wish the Chrisley family luck, adding that "they should probably focus on how not to be imprisoned for 30 years rather than spreading gossip to try and hurt their daughter. I truly believe they are good people and I wish them the best in however they choose to go about their actions." Hayes has yet to respond to Todd's allegations of having a sex tape and an affair with his daughter.
Lindsie has chalked up everything that her father has said about her as lies and claims that she has a history of threats and harassment from her family, which is why she has since distanced herself from them. Now that there is an alleged sex tape between Hayes and Lindsie, it remains to be seen if Hayes will respond to Todd's allegations. It seems right now, the Chrisley parents have enough on their plates to worry about spreading allegations of extramarital affairs about their daughter and Bachelor Nation stars. It remains to be seen how all of the legal issues will play out for the Growing Up Chrisley family.
