ATLANTA — Reality star Chase Chrisley is denying that he slapped a Buckhead bar manager and said the situation has been “blown out of proportion.”
We reported last week that Chrisley was arrested after he was accused of slapping the manager at Twin Peaks in Buckhead twice on Jan. 6.
In the manager’s statement to the police, he said “Chrisley became really drunk” and then “started to act very disrespectful and belligerent,” when he was asked to leave the bar.
He was charged with simple assault.
In a statement from a representative for Chrisley, he denied assaulting anyone.

“Chase Chrisley had done the right thing that evening by calling a driver to take him home,” Adam Ambrose, a representative for Chrisley, said in a statement Monday. “He did not assault anyone. Chase was trying to close out his tab and leave.”
Chrisley left with his driver before officers arrived, police said. He was released on a $10,000 bond after his arrest Thursday on suspicion of simple battery. Chrisley’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, are both in prison on bank fraud and tax evasion charges. A jury in 2022 found them guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. The older Chrisleys were also found guilty of tax evasion by hiding their earnings.
