Todd and Julie Chrisley have been serving their respective prison sentences since January, after being found guilty of fraud and tax evasion in 2022. For years they\u2019d been scamming their way into getting loans (to the tune of $30 million) by falsifying bank statements, and also neglected to pay all their tax bills. The federal government finally caught on to their schemes, despite the Chrisleys living a quiet, low-profile life on reality television. And how are the Chrisleys adjusting? Well, you could say that Todd has still found a way to highlight the faults in everything around him, as he famously did on Chrisley Knows Best<\/em>. He gave a phone interview to Chris Cuomo last week and complained about how awful the prison food is:<\/p>\n

\n

Todd Chrisley is speaking out from behind bars.<\/p>\n

The Chrisley Knows Best alum \u2014 who is serving a yearslong sentence for bank fraud and tax evasion at a federal prison camp in Pensacola, Fla. \u2014 alleged that he is being mistreated by staff as a way to \u201chumble him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food is dated,\u201d he said in a phone interview on the Dec. 8 broadcast of Chris Cuomo\u2019s News Nation show Cuomo. \u201cIt\u2019s a year past expiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd also accused prison workers of \u201cliterally starving\u201d inmates by providing them with \u201cdisgustingly filthy\u201d food that allegedly came into contact with wild animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got rats, you\u2019ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food is,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThey just covered it up with plastic and then tore the ceiling out because of all the black mold and found a dead cat in the ceiling, and it dropped down on the top of the food.\u201d<\/p>\n

To avoid eating food made for the prison\u2019s general population, Todd cooks his meals using ingredients purchased with his own money from the commissary. Still, he alleged, staff has been \u201ccutting down\u201d on the amount of food he can buy per week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI eat tuna, I eat peanut butter \u2014 that\u2019s where I get protein,\u201d the 54-year-old said. \u201cAnd then I start over again doing the same thing the next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Todd alleged the mistreatment spanned beyond chow time, claiming that someone once attempted to extort his family from behind bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a photograph taken of me while I was sleeping and sent to my daughter,\u201d he alleged, \u201casking for $2,600 dollars a month for my protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to Pensacola Federal Prison Camp for comment but hasn\u2019t heard back.<\/p>\n

Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were found guilty in June 2022 of conspiring to defraud banks and taking out millions of dollars\u2019 worth of personal loans using false bank statements. He reported to his prison in January, while Julie \u2014 who he married in 1996 \u2014 began her sentence at a different federal prison in Lexington, Ky.<\/p>\n

Their attorney Jay Surgent said in September that the couple\u2019s sentences were shortened, with Todd\u2019s initial 12-year sentence down to 10 and Julie\u2019s seven-year sentence down to five.<\/p>\n

Todd and Julie are working to appeal their convictions from prison, leaving their 26-year-old daughter Savannah Chrisley to care for their son Grayson, 17, and granddaughter Chloe, 11.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From E! News]<\/p>\n

Oh my gosh, Grayson is 17 now?? Ugh, I feel old. I only ever saw one episode of Chrisley Knows Best<\/em> and it must have been from the first season, cause that kid was, well, still a kid. He made a memorable impression: he grabbed a can of coke from the fridge and, despite Father Todd threatening consequences of increasing stakes, that kid drank the damn coke. He did not give a flying f\u2013k. Seven-year-old Grayson had all the power and he knew it, his act of popping open the soda essentially him giving his dad the finger. Sweet kid.<\/p>\n

As for Todd\u2019s takedown of the prison food, here\u2019s the thing: the quality of prison food has been a terrible problem for years. He\u2019s not alone in relying on the commissary, or noting serious health concerns. All that can be, and is true, while at the same time it\u2019s awfully rich to hear these complaints coming from Todd Chrisley. The white, Southern grifter is appalled by the food, y\u2019all! Since he\u2019s already getting sprung early, may I humbly suggest Todd dedicate his post-sentence life to advocating for improved prison conditions. (I know, I know, it\u2019ll never happen.)<\/p>\n
