Todd Chrisley shared a hilarious and wild story about finding himself working as an escort for a 38-year-old woman in his younger years after moving to Los Angeles. Todd shares a longstanding friendship with Bravo star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, and their daughters Brielle and Savannah are close friends as well.
The “Chrisley Knows Best” star began his story, “I was 18. I ended up waiting on this table of women and I got an $800 tip.” He says the amount made him exclaim, “Oh my god!” noting it happened back in 1986, and he’d come from a small rural South Carolina town.
Todd endearingly said the tip caused him to think, “I’ve made it. I have made it. I’ve got 800 bucks.”
He recalls when he left the restaurant after his shift, he spotted a limousine against the wall and was motioned over by a man who said a woman inside wanted to speak to him. He said the woman complimented his service before asking where he was headed, and invited him into her under the pretenses of “dropping him off.”
“She didn’t drop me off,” Todd laughed. “Let’s just say that it turned into a very quick encounter.”
He says he ended up cavorting with the woman with the sunroof open as they drove through L.A. “Hot!” Bunnie exclaimed, to which Todd agreed, “This is every dream that I’ve ever had.”
Todd says after the initial encounter, he began seeing the woman, who was 38. He says in his 18-year-old mind, he reasoned, “She helps me get a place to live. She’s doing things for me.”
Todd says his mother knew about the arrangement, but his father never found out, and became suspicious of where Todd was getting “all this stuff.”
Todd Didn’t See Himself as an Escort: ‘In My Mind, We Were Actually Dating’
“In my mind, we were actually dating,” Todd explained. “Because I was 18.” He says 8 months into the setup, he turned on the television to see his lover walking the red carpet of the Oscars with her husband. The moment left him “so devastated,” he says.
Humorously reflecting on “how dumb I was at 18,” Todd says he thought to himself, “She’s cheating on me.”
While Todd says he was lured by the trappings of his fling’s luxurious lifestyle, he admits he also “kind of caught feelings” for the unnamed woman.
He says when he confronted her about her Oscars date, she bluntly revealed she had a husband and told Todd, “It’s not your business.” He says he felt foolish for his romantic feelings. He says he ended things a month later, but “fell back into the same rut” with the divorcee of a Denver Broncos player.
