A reality TV star and a convicted criminal are two things Julie Chrisley probably never thought she would be. But if there’s one thing we all know, it’s that life has an interesting way of panning out. Chrisley rose to fame in the early 2010s when she and her family became the stars of a reality TV series called Chrisley Knows Best. Although her time in the spotlight came with lots of benefits, it also led to her and her husband getting into some legal trouble. Recently, Julie and her husband, Todd, were found guilty of criminal charges relating to fraud. They are both facing up to thirty years behind bars. Keep reading to learn 10 things you didn’t know about Julie Chrisley.
1. She’s From South Carolina

2. She’s a Brand Ambassador
The success of Chrisley Knows Best has turned Julie into a bonafide reality TV star. Her popularity extends to social media, where she has nearly 1 million followers on Instagram. Her large audience has made her an attractive partner for brands who are looking to market their products. She has been an ambassador for a variety of companies, including NutriSystem. However, in light of her recent legal troubles, she may lose some of these partnerships.
3. Her Mother Was a Beauty Queen
Pageants are very popular in the United States, but that is especially true in the southern part of the country. Julie’s mother, Pam, won the Miss South Carolina pageant several years ago. At one point in time, Julie also claimed to be a former pageant queen, although that wasn’t true.
