Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisley is recounting his days as an 18-year-old “escort.”
The 57-year-old said he fell into this line of work while employed at the Cheesecake Factory in Marina Del Rey, Calif. He shared that he was waiting tables one night when he was called to serve a party of “six or seven women, good-looking women.”
“I ended up waiting on this table of women and I got an $800 tip,” he shared on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blondepodcast on Thursday.
Fresh off the rush of the large tip, Chrisley left the restaurant and encountered one of the diner’s limousine drivers. The chauffeur informed him that the woman wanted to speak with him.
“She lets the window down and she says, ‘Great service tonight,'” he recalled. “And I said, ‘Thank you.’ And she said, ‘Where are you heading?’ And I said, ‘I just live up here on Glencoe.’ And she goes, ‘Get in.'”
While the woman said she’d drop Chrisley off, they ended up taking a joyride. The reality TV star described the moment as the first “quick encounter” in their brief affair. He revealed that she was 20 years his senior.
“The sunroof was open,” he detailed. “I’m banging this woman as we’re driving through L.A. This is every dream I have ever had.”
He continued seeing the woman, whom he said helped him “get a place to live” and provided him with various luxuries. In fact, his new cushy lifestyle made his father suspicious to the point where he asked, “Who are you f—ing?” Despite his dad’s suspicions, Chrisley didn’t tell his parents.
Chrisley admitted that he didn’t view it as a “sugar baby” arrangement at the time, instead believing that he was in a romantic relationship with the woman. Then, he was watching the Oscars and saw her on the red carpet with another man.
“I was so devastated because I was thinking, ‘She’s cheating on me,'” he said. “‘Cause I was that young and naive.”
When he confronted the woman about her red carpet date, she told him plainly that the man was her husband. She also told him that her marriage was “not your business” and urged him not to ruin their arrangement.
“She said, ‘We have a great thing going. Let’s not mess it up,'” he recalled. “And I said, ‘What do we have going here?’ She said, ‘We have great sex.’ And from that moment on, I felt so ashamed.”
He said he mostly felt shame over catching feelings for the woman. While he continued to see her for another month, he eventually ended things. Still, Chrisley ended up dating another woman in a similar situation, although he said she was in the middle of a divorce from an NFL pro.

Later, the Growing Up Chrisley alum said that he went back home to South Carolina and got a woman pregnant there. He explained that he was pushed to marry her and that his parents shamed him for having premarital sex. Little did they know, he was having trysts in Los Angeles.
“I’m thinking, ‘Mama, I’m a hoe,'” he said. “That’s all you’re worried about is me f—ing some chick one time back here in the sticks and I’m laying up getting my rent paid for f—ing.”
