Todd Chrisley is forced to seek new employment at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, where he is serving 12 years for bank fraud and tax evasion.
The former reality star was allegedly being too chatty with inmates and was fired from his prison chapel position, according to his attorney, Jay Surgent. Surgent told Page Six that his client was not given an
“actual reason for his dismissal as an Administrative assistant to the Chaplain at Pensacola.”
However,
“He was told that he was talking with [Residential Drug Abuse Program] participants, and that was not allowed.”
He continued to add that the
“Chrisley Knows Best”
alum
“served in this voluntary capacity for almost 2 years, and it has been confirmed that the Chaplain had always been satisfied with his services.”
The lawyer also told People that Todd Chrisley, who is 55, can no longer go to the office in the church where he used to do his volunteer work. He 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,”
said Surgent.
A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment about the situation, telling TMZ,
“For privacy reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including their work detail assignments.”
