Todd once again denied the rumors in a call from prison shown on the show.
“It’s important to understand that in the position that we’re in, scandal sells,” stated the 56-year-old.
He also pointed out that Mark is the “only one” who has made this kind of accusation over the years.
His wife also seemed confident in Todd’s faithfulness.
“I know who I’m married to,” Julie insisted.
The Chrisley family matriarch added, “At the end of the day, OK. You can think whatever you want of him because he knows who he is.”
Their daughter Savannah Chrisley also shared her own recollection of Mark’s testimony.
The influencer narrated, “During the trial, Mark made claims that he had a relationship with my father. We were all like, ‘You got to be effing kidding me.’”
“Our lawyer said it best: Where’s the text messages? Where’s the phone calls? Where’s the letters? Where’s anything?” she questioned.
“I don’t buy it,” emphasized the 28-year-old.
Todd previously joked about the accusation with Chase on Chrisley Confessions. He remarked, “What’s insulted me the most is that, out of all these 54 years, for me to finally be accused of being with a man, it would be someone who looked like Mark Braddock.
“A toad. Someone that looks like a thumb. Someone who says he’s only had sex with his wife and me.”
Julie Chrisley has a scathing response for anyone who questions if her husband Todd Chrisley is gay — “I know who I’m married to.”
The reality star addressed rumors surrounding her husband’s sexuality on Tuesday’s episode of the family’s new reality show, “The Chrisleys: Back to Reality.”
“At the end of the day, OK. You can think whatever you want of him because he knows who he is,” Julie, 52, said.
Todd has faced speculation over his sexuality for years, which intensified after his former business associate, Mark Braddock, claimed he had an affair with the “Chrisley Knows Best” alum while testifying in the Chrisleys’ federal fraud trial in May 2022.
Todd, 56, continued to deny Braddock’s allegations on Tuesday’s episode of the Lifetime series.
“It’s important to understand that in the position that we’re in, scandal sells,” he explained, before claiming that Braddock is the “only one” that has ever made the allegation.

Todd previously shut down rumors that he’s gay. Last month, he again addressed Braddock’s claims head-on while appearing on Kandi Burruss’ “Speak On It” podcast.
“Let’s just be very clear: If I had f–ked him once, he’d have come back for seconds,” he insisted.
“He said it was a one-time thing, thinks it was an experiment,” Todd continued. “You ain’t experimenting on s–t! You know what you’re doing. I don’t need to experiment giving head. If I wanted to give head, I’d give head.”
Todd also denied the allegations in a January 2023 episode of his “Chrisley Confessions” podcast and said that if he were going to have an affair with a man, it would be with someone much more handsome than Braddock.
“What insulted me the most is that, out of all these 54 years, for me to finally be accused of being with a man, it would be someone who looked like Mark Braddock,” he proclaimed.
“That is the one thing that is the most insulting. To say that I couldn’t pull something better than that… there’s better to be had by Todd Chrisley than that,” Todd concluded.
Braddock’s allegations included that he and Todd were intimate for about a year in the early 2000s and after their affair ended, they continued a friendship until 2012.
During that time, Braddock worked for the real estate entrepreneur’s foreclosure management company and he testified that they began to receive anonymous texts threatening to expose their alleged relationship.
