Chrisley Knows Best alum, Julie Chrisley was served papers for a lawsuit while she was incarcerated in the Lexington FMI in Kentucky. It came after a brief run of good luck when her husband, Todd Chrisley won a lawsuit against the state of Georgia.
Julie Chrisley’s Husband Todd Also Lost A Lawsuit
Chrisley Knows Best fans heard that prisoners seldom win lawsuits while they serve sentences behind bars. Well, their luck changed recently, when Amy Doherty-Heinze, an investigator in the Georgia case won a massive lawsuit against Todd Chrisley. The amount awarded included $350,000 plus punitive damages of $170,000. Legal costs brought a total payment demand of $755,000.
Hot on the heels of the loss, Todd and Julie Chrisley were served papers for their son Grayson Chrisley’s accident. In November 2022, he was in a terrifying crash on the I-65 near Nashville. At the time, fans of the reality TV show feared that he might be brain damaged. He crashed into the truck in front of him. Reports revealed that the other car’s driver was injured but refused medical treatment.
Grayson Chrisley’s Crash Lawsuit Served In Prison
Chrisley Knows Best fans probably already heard that Grayson Chrisley’s parents were sued by the other car’s driver, Patrick Rywalder. However, initial reports didn’t mention that his mom was served the lawsuit in prison. According to Radar Online, the papers were served “on April 17, 2024.”

The outlet noted that Julie Chrisley and her husband Todd Chrisley were both sued because they owned the truck that Grayson Chrisley drove Additionally, Savannah Chrisley received papers because she is the guardian of her younger brother. At the time of the crash, Grayson was 16 years old.
The Plaintiff’s Case
The outlet explained that from court papers, it seems that Todd and Julie Chrisley possibly anticipated the lawsuit:
…Patrick has been fighting with the family over their text messages and call logs being produced…The parties recently came to an agreement over the phone records. Patrick will be allowed to seek records from November 12 to 15. He will be given Grayon’s records but won’t see the other logs until Todd and Julie’s lawyer reviews the messages.
When the accident happened, Patrick Rywalder claimed that Julie Chrilsey’s son was distracted by electronics within the car. Possibly, that’s why he wanted phone records from “Verizon and AT&T.” However, the Chrisley Knows Best stars felt his request for logs “for the day before to 18 days after the crash,” seemed “unreasonable, oppressive, and a clear effort to harass them.”
