Todd’s attorney Chrisley responded to rumors of homosexual relationships during closing discussions as Reality Star’s bank fraud trial draws to a close

Many celebrity cases have been brought to court in recent weeks, from the libel trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard to the sentencing of Josh Duggar. Among them was Chrisley’s bank fraud suit, which came with a number of allegations including alleged overspending and a gay romance. A week after Todd’s former business partner Chrisley claimed he was involved in the Chrisley knows best star, his lawyer responded to the rumors during the closing discussions.

Coming to what was said in the concluding discussions, we must first dive into the courts over a week ago when Mark Braddock, former business partner of Todd Chrisley, spoke in court. Braddock said on the stand that he and Chrisley had an affair together and even paid a blackmailer who was supposed to denounce them publicly. For Chrisley’s role in things, his attorney claimed in opening statements that Braddock had been “obsessed” with the reality star and lied about things, including perjury.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time rumors about Todd Chrisley’s sexual orientation have surfaced. The Chrisley knows best The star once openly addressed the rumors, calling them “flattering” during an appearance Domenick Nati’s show but apparently he agreed with the curiosity that the topic had aroused, noting,

He also said at the time that Julie, his wife since 1996, was “flattered” that men were as interested in him as they were in women, joking that he “would never have drought.” Then came the trial for bank fraud and the question of his sexual orientation resurfaced.

It should also be noted that Mark Braddock, still Chrisley’s former business partner, was named as the person who initially turned the family into the FBI after he was fired in 2012, although Todd has claimed that his financial situation was due to Braddock. Allegations of bank fraud and tax evasion surfaced after reality TV stars apparently took out loans to lead extravagant lives and then used new loans to pay off old loans.

Meanwhile, in his concluding arguments, Todd Chrisley’s attorney painted a different picture. According to attorney Bruce Morris, the picture Mark Braddock painted of Todd Chrisley, Blackmail and a Relationship was “fantastic.” In fact, he went further, explaining that Braddock has admitted to having perjured in the past and is the person responsible for delivering the documents to the government that apparently involved Todd and Julie Chrisley in the bank scams. Bruce Morris is said to have said:

The case becomes even more complicated as US Assistant District Attorney Thomas Krepp has apparently consented to his request for closure (via knowledgeable person) stating “You shouldn’t trust Mark Braddock”, who has also been accused of impersonating Todd Chrisley and others on the phone, as well as lying to the FBI. However, he said the Chrisley files and bank fraud allegations speak for themselves.

The outbursts and viral moments during Chrisley’s trial were notable, but the case began and the jury entered deliberations on Friday. Todd and Julie Chrisley were charged with five counts of bank fraud, one count of tax evasion and then single counts of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States. If found guilty, it could last up to 30 years in prison Todd and Julie Chrisley are well known, having appeared on Chrisley knows best since 2014.
