Todd & Julie Chrisley Reveal Shocking Purchase For Daughter
Todd and Julie Chrisley are still rebuilding their lives after getting out of prison. Their return home was filmed for a reality TV series on Lifetime. The Chrisley Knows Best stars were recently contestants on The Masked Singer and are doing their best to return to their lavish lifestyle with various gigs and their podcast.
Since his time incarcerated, Todd Chrisley has spoken out about prison reform and other political topics on the podcast he co-hosts with his wife. However, in the latest episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0, the couple opened up about their daily lives with their daughter, Chloe.
“I think it’s just trying to get back into that rhythm, because it’s really just me, you, and Chloe on an everyday basis,” Julie Chrisley said. Todd Chrisley told listeners that they are seeing more and more of their daughter’s personality emerge as she hits the teen years.
“She’s gotten lippy because she’s 13 now. She’s into this whole straightening the hair and blowing it out and going to her hair guy and makeup and this that and the other,” Todd Chrisley said.
He doesn’t agree with the young girl wearing too much makeup. However, Julie Chrisley revealed that she asked their other daughter, Savannah, to help Chloe pick out some cosmetics. They ended up spending over $700.
Reality Stars Blasted For Extravagant Waste Of Money
Todd and Julie Chrisley received a $1 million settlement while in prison from the state of Georgia. The settlement was from a lawsuit against a former state investigator for misconduct stemming from the state tax case. With their television show and appearances, the couple is restoring their finances.
Yet, some fans called the Chrisleys out for wasting money, especially after serving time in prison for fraud.
- “a $750 Sephora makeup trip for a 13yo who is just “experimenting” with makeup, is wild”
- “$700 for makeup, for a 13 year old at that? That’s insane!!!”
- “I just said we are so not in the same league or planet .. 750 on makeup on a 13 yrs… Hell I don’t even spend 750 bucks on my makeup. Who can afford this lifestyle.”
- “who buys a 13 year old child all that makeup…???? Crazy.”
- “did I hear 700 freaking dollars for a child’s makeup???? Oh h*** no……love y’all but you need to desperately check yourselves on this one.”
Other fans defended the Chrisleys, pointing out that makeup is expensive these days, and $750 doesn’t really buy that much. Tell us in the comments if you think the purchase was justified or a huge waste of money.
