According to a new report, another man sued Todd and Julie Chrisley. He called out the couple’s efforts to keep the case sealed. The Chrisley Knows Best stars asked the Tennessee courts to seal their ongoing legal battle. But it has nothing to do with their current case.

Radar Online shared the details of the couple’s efforts to request the court to seal the official documents. Rykwalder sued Grayson, Savannah, Todd, and Julie Chrisley over the car accident that occurred on Interstate 65 in Tennessee. The accident took occurred on November 12, 2022.

According to the lawsuit, Patrick Rykwalder drove a 2020 Dodge Ram. Grayson Chrisley crashed in the back of his truck. Todd and Julie’s son drove a Ford 5150 pickup truck, which his parents owned.

Rykwalder accused Grayson of distracted driving. He claims the former reality star was “not paying attention to the roadway in the moments immediately preceding the rear impact.”

The lawsuit also reveals that Todd and Julie Chrisley’s son “failed to act appropriately under the circumstances, which included at a minimum maintaining a safe operating distance from other motor vehicles, maintaining a safe operating speed, and avoiding being distracted by electronic devices within his motor vehicle.”

Chrisley Family – Dismissed The Case

At the time, Todd and Julie Chrisley dismissed the case. They requested that the court dismiss all the claims against their son.

Patrick Rykwalder and the Chrisleys even fought over their phone records. Todd and Julie claim that Rywalder made a “clear effort to harass them.”

They pushed to get the case sealed. Rykwalder doesn’t agree with their request? He claims they don’t have a good enough reason to seal the case. Rykwalder argued that the family talked about the case on their podcasts.

“The irony of these arguments is that the Defendants have exploited the facts of this case to remain relevant by making statements to media outlets, they’ve posted about the facts of the case on various social media platforms and publicly discussed the facts of the case on podcasts,” Patrick Rykwalder’s lawyer said.
