Mar. 15, 2025

Todd Chrisleyhas full confidence that the truth will prevail.

On the latest episode of hisChrisley Confessionspodcast, the Chrisley family patriarch spoke with wife Julie Chrisley about the actions of their former business partner Mark Braddock.

“Our attorney literally said, ‘You created fake emails under Todd Chrisley’s name. You sent fake emails out to their insurance carriers to people they were doing business with, two people in the real estate world that Mr. Chrisley does business with,’ and you lied on me. What you said was a lie. Is that not true?” Todd, 53, said to Julie, 49.

Todd claimed on Thursday’s podcast that Braddock admitted to wanting to see the Chrisleys suffer, as well. “This is the same person that claimed that he had a sexual relationship with me, and that I didn’t want to do it anymore,” he said.

“That was the only honest thing that he’d said. He’s never touched me. Never knew the man was, I guess, gay or bisexual, whatever he is,” he continued. “Who knows what he is because you can’t believe anything that he’s saying.”

Todd said the affair allegations from Braddock “never hurt” them, but rather caused speculation that “came from educated people that know better.”

Todd added, “I know that the truth will eventually rise to the top and I know that we will have survived the lies because God has put that in my spirit. I’m filled with the Holy Spirit. I know and I have a peace that God is working overtime. Satan will never outwork God.”

During the trial, Todd’s attorney Bruce H. Morris accused Braddock of committing fraud while impersonating the reality star, according toInsider. While Assistant US Attorney Annalise Peters did refer to Braddock as a “fraudster,” he was offered immunity for confessing to his crimes and the longtime couple’s own instances of fraud.

Peters additionally claimed that even after Braddock’s termination, the Chrisleys continued to commit fraud.
