Todd and Julie Chrisley have filed a lawsuit against the director of the Georgia Department of Revenue's Office of Special Investigations, alleging that he abused his power as part of an effort to prosecuteIn the documents obtained by ET on Tuesday, the Chrisleys claim director Joshua Waites specifically targeted their estranged daughter, 26-year-old Lindsie, in an effort to"induce her to reveal compromising information about her family," and to gain media attention for himself.
The lawsuit cites a series of alleged text messages revealing that Lindsie stayed in touch with Waites over a period of at least 18 months, during which he allegedly improperly informed Lindsie of developments in her father’s case and told her about other cases, raids, and arrests in which he was involved, even sharing photos of people he had taken into custody.
"Ultimately Waites's efforts failed, but in the process, the Chrisleys were forced to incur substantial personal and financial hardship," the lawsuit states. While the lawsuit asks for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages as well as attorney’s fees, according to a statement from the Chrisley family rep, the Chrisleys have pledged to donate any funds they recover in damages to programs designed to assist Georgia taxpayers who have suffered similar ill-treatment.
