Todd Chrisley has made another strong public denial about claims that he had an affair with his former business partner. The reality TV star spoke on Kandi Burruss’ Speak On It podcast this week. He used very direct language to reject the accusations made by Mark Braddock.
The 56-year-old Chrisley Knows Best star has been fighting these claims for years. Braddock first made these accusations public in May 2022 during a federal fraud trial that would ultimately lead to the couple’s conviction. He testified that he and Todd had an intimate relationship for about a year in the early 2000s.
During his podcast appearance, Chrisley made graphic comments about the allegations. “I ain’t that small spoon at Baskin-Robbins. I’m the whole scoop. You don’t get to just sample here,” he said. He also made crude remarks suggesting that if the affair had happened, Braddock would have wanted more encounters.
Chrisley calls accusations insulting and questions accuser’s appearance
This is not the first time Chrisley has spoken out against these claims. In January 2023, he addressed the matter on his Chrisley Confessions podcast. He said what hurt him most was being accused of having an affair with someone who looks like Braddock.
Chrisley used harsh words to describe his former business associate. He called Braddock “a toad” and “someone that looks like a thumb.” He also said Braddock claimed to have only been intimate with his wife and Todd. The reality star said he would be less embarrassed if celebrities like George Clooney or Brad Pitt had made similar claims.
During the 2022 trial, Braddock testified about more than just the alleged affair. He said that after their relationship ended, they remained friends until 2012. During this time, Braddock worked for Todd’s company called Chrisley Asset Management. He claimed they started getting anonymous text messages threatening to expose both their business fraud and their alleged personal relationship. Braddock said he took $38,000 from his bank account and gave it to Todd to pay off the person who was blackmailing them.
Todd’s lawyer, Bruce Morris, had a different view of Braddock during the trial. He said in his opening statement that Braddock was “obsessed” with Todd and wanted to be like him. The lawyer repeated this idea when questioning Braddock in court. Despite these denials, Todd and his wife Julie were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion, receiving lengthy prison sentences before their eventual pardons. They both served time in prison until President Trump controversially pardoned them in May of this year.
