UPDATE: Todd Chrisley has vehemently denied recent allegations claiming he is gay and had an affair with former business associate Mark Braddock. In a bold response on Kandi Burruss’ “Speak On It” podcast, recorded this week, Chrisley, 56, stated, “If I had f–ked him once, he’d have come back for seconds.”

Chrisley’s comments come as he confronts rumors that have circulated since Braddock’s testimony in May 2022 during Chrisley’s federal fraud trial. Braddock alleged that he and Chrisley were intimate for about a year in the early 2000s, a claim Chrisley dismisses as unfounded. He further emphasized, “What insulted me the most is that, out of all these 54 years, for me to finally be accused of being with a man, it would be someone who looked like Mark Braddock.”

In the podcast, Chrisley did not hold back, labeling Braddock as “a toad” and “someone who looks like a thumb.” He expressed frustration over the allegations, saying, “I could understand if you’d have had sex with me, it would [make] you crazy. I get that.” Chrisley added, “I ain’t that small spoon at Baskin-Robbins. I’m the whole scoop.”

The controversy began when Braddock testified that he and Chrisley had paid a blackmailer **$38,000 USD** to keep their alleged affair under wraps. He claimed that anonymous texts threatened to expose the pair for fraud and their supposed relationship. Chrisley’s attorney, Bruce Morris, characterized Braddock as “obsessed” with Chrisley, insisting that Braddock’s credibility was questionable.

Chrisley and his wife, Julie, were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion, serving significant portions of their sentences until they were pardoned by former President Donald Trump in May 2023.

The reality star’s fiery rebuttal underscores the high stakes surrounding his public image and ongoing legal challenges. With the emotional weight of these accusations, Chrisley’s passionate denial is set against the backdrop of his recent legal battles, making this an urgent matter for fans and followers.

As the situation unfolds, Chrisley’s response is likely to drive further media coverage and public discussion. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
