'Chrisley Knows Best' Star Todd Chrisley Sets The Record Straight, Discusses Son Kyle's Allegations
Todd Chrisley prides himself on knowing best in his reality show, Chrisley Knows Best on the USA Network. Recently however, his son Kyle Chrisley has made some serious allegations against his father and how he was raised and the head of the family is finally setting the record straight.
"Kyle is bipolar and normally, people that are bipolar, they seek out a way to self-medicate, which is what Kyle has done since he's been young," Todd told E! News exclusively on Friday. "I want what's best for him."
In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Kyle, 23, opened up about his father and said that he was kicked off the show and kept from his own child. "My dad showed no interest in Chloe at all until the show and until it was pointed out that having a mixed race child and getting her and all that would be good for his demographic," he told Daily Mail.
"He didn't want to see her before then. He said he wanted nothing to do with her. ... This show has been nothing but bad for me. At this point he's ruined me and he's ruined the other three kids he's had who are spoiled," he revealed to the publication.
"My dad is all about control. He's vindictive and manipulative. He's a snake and if there's a snake in the grass you don't know but hell it'll bite you when you go by," the now-sober eldest son in the Chrisley family explained.
Despite his son's harsh allegations, Todd still loves his son, even when he accused him of using his grandchild for publicity. "That is not true. That is probably the most hurtful thing in the article. I'm not going to focus on Kyle's stories because that's my son and I love him," Todd explained to E! News.
"I didn't kick Kyle off the show," he added. "He refused to take his medication. He was hostile to the crew. He was hostile to other people on the show and you can't have that. I want what's best for him and I will get him the help he needs once we locate him."
