A judge has ordered a reality TV star, who is currently in prison, to pay $755,000 in a defamation case.

A federal judge in Georgia ordered reality TV star Todd Chrisley to pay $755,000 after finding him guilty of defaming an investigator from the Georgia Department of Revenue. Court documents indicate that Chrisley must pay $300,000 in compensatory damages, $170,000 in punitive damages, and any additional legal costs incurred by Amy Dougherty-Heinz, according to TMZ.

Chrisley launched an aggressive campaign on social media.

The judge concluded that Chrisley launched an aggressive social media campaign against Doherty-Heinz after she claimed that he "started a social media campaign against GDDR and some of its employees, alleging that the investigation was illegal and improperly motivated," according to TMZ.

Filing a lawsuit and continuing defamation

• Doherty-Heinz took Chrisley to court in July 2021, claiming that he falsely accused her of illegally wiretapping a government program.
• After two months, there were attempts to have the case dismissed, but Chrisley continued to "slander" her in a series of podcasts in September 2021.

Chrisley's lawyerLisa Guarnotta expressed joy, saying his legal team was "pleased that the jury found that some of Mr.

Chrisley's statements were not defamatory and awarded the plaintiff a quarter of the requested damages."

Former real estate mogul Todd Chrisley is currently serving a 12-year sentence in federal prison for bank fraud and tax evasion.
