Grayson Chrisley fights to keep medical and drug test records from 2022 crash out of lawsuit

Grayson Chrisley, the youngest son of former reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, is asking a court to keep his medical records and drug and alcohol test results from a 2022 car crash away from the man suing him and his family, according to TMZ, which reported on new court filings. Atlanta station WSB-TV also reported the dispute, citing TMZ.

Most of what is known comes from those filings as described by TMZ. The Chrisleys’ full legal arguments and any response from the court have not been made public in the reporting so far.

What is the Grayson Chrisley lawsuit about?

According to TMZ and WSB-TV, Grayson was driving a 2020 Ford pickup in Tennessee in November 2022 when he collided with a vehicle driven by another man. TMZ reported that the crash happened weeks before Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison.

The other driver is suing Grayson, his parents and his sister Savannah Chrisley, TMZ reported. He says the crash happened because Grayson was not paying attention, a characterization Grayson disputes, according to both outlets. The lawsuit remains pending.

Why does the other side want the records?

According to TMZ, the plaintiff argues he should be able to examine the records as part of the discovery process. Two claims are at the center of the request, as described in the filings:

• A toxicology test: TMZ reported the filing says Todd Chrisley talked about the crash on his podcast in November 2022, claiming he went to the scene, accompanied Grayson to the hospital and had staff run a toxicology test on his son.
• A concussion: The plaintiff says Grayson claimed to have suffered a concussion in the crash and wants the medical records to check whether that is true, according to TMZ and WSB-TV.

No test results have been reported, and nothing in the coverage indicates what the records show.

What is the Chrisleys’ argument?

The family argues the plaintiff has no right to the records, TMZ reported. Their position, according to TMZ and WSB-TV, is that Grayson has already admitted liability for the accident, so the records are not relevant to deciding damages.

A judge has not yet ruled on whether the records will stay sealed from the opposing side, WSB-TV reported.

Background on the Chrisley family

The Chrisleys became widely known through the reality show “Chrisley Knows Best.” Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion and served prison time before President Donald Trump pardoned them in May 2025, WSB-TV noted.
