Just days before the Season 4 premiere of Chrisley Knows Best, star Todd Chrisley posted the mugshot of his sister-in-law Pamela Chrisley on Instagram. Pamela is married to Todd’s brother Randy Chrisley who has filed for divorce which has prompted Pamela to extort the Chrisley family — according to Todd. Todd Chrisley explained: “Pamela has been involved in a scheme with other individuals in GA and SC to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from our family because my brother filed for divorce from her.” She was arrested on March 4 on charges of extortion and second degree harassment. She was released on $11,000 bond that same day.
The situation promises to loom large over the season. On the season premiere titled “Crowning Achievements,” Todd throws a party for his daughter Savannah who’s been crowned Miss Tennessee Teen USA. Chrisley Knows Best airs Tuesdays at 10pm on USA.
