Former reality star Chase Chrisley has been named as the suspect in the recent assault of an Atlanta bar manager.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, the Chrisley Knows Best star allegedly became increasingly “disrespectful and belligerent” after getting “really drunk” at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar Monday (Jan. 6) evening. The manager of the bar alleges that Chrisley slapped him in the face twice after he asked him to leave “multiple times.”
Chrisley was not at the scene when police responded to a call at around 7:30 p.m. local time that evening, but the manager directly named Chrisley as the suspect for the “simple assault.”
Per the report, the manager told the responding officers that “his employees told him that Mr. Chrisley is a well-known celebrity.”
The manager reportedly sustained no injuries and refused medical attention.
This is just the latest of the Chrisley family’s legal troubles to make headlines.
Both of Chase’s parents, Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, are currently completing time in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd is currently serving a reduced 10-year sentence at FPC Pensacola in Florida while Julie is serving a five-year sentenced in Kentucky.
Chase and his sister Savannah Chrisley have spoken out several times about the “nightmare” conditions their parents are dealing with in the facilities.
The siblings may soon star in their own reality series from the production company behind Queer Eye, according to reports from 2023.
Chase, Savannah, Grayson Chrisley, Chloe Chrisley and Nanny Faye Chrisley will reportedly star in a reality series that “will see the kids and Todd Chrisley’s mother pick up their lives after their parents were locked up.”
Savannah celebrated their second chance when the show was first announced. “The time was right to share our story and we couldn’t have found better partners in Scout Productions. Their ability to balance popular culture and empathy through authentic storytelling is unrivaled and I know they’re going to find the right home for this next chapter of our lives,” she said in a statement at the time. “We’re so happy to be back.”
The Chrisley family previously starred in the USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley, both of which were canceled after Todd and Julie were sentenced in 2022.
