One of Todd’s hobbies was threatening lawsuits and slandering people in his podcast. This hobby might have come to bite him in his ass as Amy Doherty-Heinze.

It turns out that Amy won the lawsuit. Yahoo and WSB-TV2 revealed that the jury voted in Amy’s favor. In fact, the court has even ordered Todd to pay a big sum of money. He had two charges of “libel” and “slander.” So the star has to pay Amy “compensatory damages of $350,000.” The Chrisley Knows Best star must also pay “punitive damages of $170,000” along with $755,000 in attorney fees.
The fans had much fun at the star’s expense. A Reddit OP reported about Todd’s loss, asking if “he will ever learn to keep his big mouth shut.” Others also commented, saying he would have to pay a lot to “the state of Georgia.” A few others called it “a preview of” Tood’s upcoming appeal. They called it “Karma.”

Amy Doherty-Heinze filed a lawsuit against Todd in 2021. She alleged that the Chrisley Knows Best star had defamed her on his Chrisley Confessions podcast. According to Amy, Todd falsely accused her of criminal conduct in the investigation.
Doherty-Heinze alleged Todd “began a social media campaign against the” Georgia Department of Revenue and “certain employees.” Todd had accused the investigation of being “illegal and improperly motivated. Amy alleged he had accused “her of a multitude of crimes and wrongdoings.”
The good news, depending on how you see it, is Amy won the case. Now, Todd has to pay the Georgia Department of Revenue a big sum of around $775,000. Poor Todd has a lot of financial trouble ahead of him. He might even be dreading his upcoming hearing. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for the latest Chrisley Knows Best stories.
