Todd Chrisley was ordered to pay tax investigator Amy Doherty-Heinze $755,000 after losing a defamation lawsuit that she filed against him.
In a defamation complaint obtained by People magazine, Doherty-Heinze, an investigator with the Georgia Department of Revenue (GDOR), accused Chrisley of slandering her on social media and "Chrisley Confessions," the podcast he hosted with his wife Julie.

Doherty-Heinze alleged that, in 2020, the real estate tycoon "began attacking [her] and accusing her of a multitude of crimes and wrongdoing" after the GDOR launched an investigation of the Chrisleys in 2017.
