Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced Monday to lengthy prison terms after being convicted earlier this year on charges including bank fraud and tax evasion.
U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross in Atlanta gave Todd Chrisley 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley got seven years behind bars, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Atlanta. Each is to serve three years supervised release afterward, and Ross also ordered them to pay restitution in an amount to be determined later.
The Chrisleys gained fame with their show “Chrisley Knows Best”, which follows their tight-knit, boisterous family. Federal prosecutors said the couple engaged in an extensive bank fraud scheme and then hid their wealth from tax authorities while flaunting their lavish lifestyle.
“The Chrisleys have built an empire based on the lie that their wealth came from dedication and hard work,” prosecutors wrote in a pre-sentencing court filing.

The stars of “Chrisley Knows Best,” the top-rated original series on the USA Network, were convicted Tuesday of defrauding banks out of 30 million and committing tax fraud, federal prosecutors announced. Todd and Julie Chrisley, who have also been involved in a spinoff series for USA and set another series launch plan with E! just last month, were found guilty after a three-week trial in Atlanta federal court. According to prosecutors, they used falsified bank statements and audits to fraudulently obtain 30 million in loans from community banks in Atlanta. The couple then spent the money to pay back earlier loans, and to finance a lavish lifestyle, including luxury cars, expensive clothing, real estate and travel, according to prosecutors. Todd Chrisley filed for bankruptcy in 2014, reneging on more than 20 million in debts. The status of “Chrisley Knows Best” at USA remains unclear. New episodes from Season 9, filmed before the trial, will air later this month.

Updated with not guilty pleas: Chrisley Knows Best stars Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley pleaded not guilty in an Atlanta court Wednesday to 12 counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud and tax-evasion charges. The husband and wife featured on USA Network’s flagship reality series had been indicted on the charges the day before.
