Todd Chrisley’s ex-daughter-in-law claims on Wednesday that the disgraced reality star has a history of ‘bullying’ her and acting racist toward her.
‘I endured the bullying comments for years in silence, but karma dealt with it so that I didn’t have to,’ Alexus ‘Lexi’ Whilby revealed to the DailyMail.
Whilby was previously married to Chrisley’s oldest son, Kyle, from 2014 to 2018.
The exes do not have children together, but Kyle has a biracial daughter, 10-year-old Chloe, with ex Angela Johnson.
Todd, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence for tax evasion and fraud, previously had custody of Chloe with his wife, Julie Chrisley, as Kyle dealt with his own fair share of legal issues.
‘To see a grown man and public figure, who is the grandfather to a beautiful black child, say those horrible things was shocking,’ Wilbur said.
The former in-law shared with the outlet a voicemail message that she claims the ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ alum once sent her as evidence of the alleged verbal abuse she experienced.
In the audio, Todd can be heard telling Whilby, ‘No darling, you don’t need protection. You need an attorney.’
He then states, ‘Call your brothers. Find out about that trust that you’ve got — that’s got that $100 million in it because I’m coming to get my part of it.’
Todd then claims that a lawsuit he filed against Whilby is ‘not a vendetta’ but rather about ‘forcing her to do the right thing.’
The context of the call is unclear, and according to the Daily Mail, the former TV personality sent the message after he discovered that his ex-daughter-in-law had ‘aided the Georgia Department of Revenue in its investigation into his tax fraud scheme’ in 2017.
Meanwhile, Todd has previously spoken out against his son’s ex, claiming that she was trying to ‘extort’ him.
‘Folks, Alexus Whilby tried to extort our family 4 20k or tell the press we r racist, we chose 2 keep the 20k and see her in court. #slander,’ the former businessman tweeted in December 2014.
