Todd Chrisley trolled after being fired from prison chapel job for getting ‘too chatty’ with inmates
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA: Reality television star Todd Chrisley was fired from his job at the prison chapel, his lawyer Jay Surgent revealed to TMZ on Wednesday, October 23.
The 55-year-old Georgia native is currently serving a 12-year sentence for fraud and tax evasion at FPC Pensacola, a minimum-security federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida.
He worked as a chaplain's assistant at the facility until prison officials decided he was "getting too chatty with certain inmates." Chrisley is scheduled for release in September 2032.
Todd Chrisley’s role as chaplain's assistant ends amid concerns over inmate interactions
Jay Surgent stated that Todd Chrisley was "doing a good job" in the role, which was based in an office adjacent to the facility's Residential Drug Abuse Program.
However, authorities reportedly took issue with his interactions with prisoners in the drug rehabilitation program. According to Surgent, the concern arose because the group spent part of their sentences outside the facility on release.
A prison official told TMZ, "For privacy reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including their work detail assignments."
Chrisley is "very disappointed and upset that he can no longer participate in the administration of the set-up for religious services at Pensacola, which includes Christian, Jewish, and Muslim services," Surgent reportedly told People.
However, the star has not allowed the situation to affect "his firm belief that in the end, God will work things out for him, Julie (his wife, also incarcerated), and his family," added Surgent.
