Still on good terms? Todd and Julie Chrisley’s marketing firm hasn’t turned its back on the couple amid their legal woes and tax evasion conviction.
“I will continue to support them because they are a good family, [have] good values,” David, who is the CEO of Superior Marketing, exclusively told Us Weekly in a statement on Monday, June 27. “I think the people don’t see the real side of them; they only see the TV side.”
The businessman, who works with the family, specifically Chase Chrisley, continued: “I wish people can see how truly great that they are. I just feel bad that they’re getting all this negative publicity. I support them because I’ve seen a better side of the family.”
The Chrisley Knows Best stars went on trial last month after being accused of tax evasion and fraud three years prior. Todd, 53, and his wife, 49, were indicted on five counts of bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of tax fraud.
While the duo pleaded not guilty, they were convicted on June 7 of all counts. Additionally, Julie was also charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of obstruction of justice, after previously being accused of creating a fake credit report to rent a home.
The husband-and-wife duo, however, have maintained their innocence throughout the trial. The Chrisleys — who share Chase, 26, Savannah, 24, and Grayson, 16 — claimed in the past that their former accountant, Peter Tarantino, was responsible for the discrepancies in their tax returns.
“It’s been very difficult for the family and they’d like people to respect their privacy,” David told Us on Monday when asked how the duo are holding up.
