In a disturbing turn of events, Kyle Chrisley, the eldest son of TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, was arrested by the authorities on Saturday night, December 20, in Rutherford County on charges of domestic violence.

This is not the first time he has been detained, the arrest comes just a few months after his parents were pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Kyle was booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA.

The framed charges against him reportedly include domestic assault, public intoxication, and more.

Who’s Kyle Chrisley?

Kyle Chrisley is the firstborn of a television personality and real estate entrepreneur best known as the head of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best.

Todd shares Kyle and daughter Lindsie, 35, with ex-wife Teresa Terry and shares three children with his current spouse, Julie Chrisley—Savannah, 28, Chase, 29, and Grayson, 19.

Kyle has faced multiple past legal troubles, including charges of domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, three counts of assaulting an emergency worker, and resisting arrest, as reported by TMZ.

In March 2023, Kyle was arrested on a felony aggravated assault charge and released after posting a $3,000 bond, and the case was later dropped for undisclosed reasons.

Kyle’s attorney, Wesley Clark, said the suit aims to hold officials accountable and prevent other families from enduring the same frightening experience as the Chrisleys.

Kyle Chrisley’s recent arrest comes only months after his parents, Todd and Julie, were freed from prison via a pardon from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Todd and Julie had served 28 months of imprisonment after being convicted of tax evasion and bank and wire fraud, though they have consistently maintained their innocence.

Sarah Ferguson appears to reeling from the humiliation of being completely cut off from the royal family and is now trying to grovel her way into gaining back some sympathy.

The former Duchess of York was also ousted after King Charles removed all the royal honours and titles from her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. They both were found to have a shady connection to the paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein forcing the monarch to take a severe action after public backlash.

Previously, Sarah and Andrew had a tradition to send Christmas cards to family and friends. This year, with Christmas around the corner, Fergie had been signing the festive cards alone to send out to the royals, per DailyMail author Barbara Davies.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s mum had been slowly earning the trust and favour of the royals and had even attended the Sandringham Walk in 2023. However, all of that fell apart when the controversies lined up against the Yorks.

They are also set to vacate the Royal Lodge in the first half of 2026 which would officially (and hopefully for royals) mark the end of the chapter.

“With the long-divorced couple finally preparing to go their separate ways, 66-year-old Sarah, it is understood, has been signing her cards alone,” a source revealed.

They added that the cards which are addressed to members of the Royal Family have “a gushing personalised apology” written for causing the trouble through her past bad decisions.

In what is being termed as a ‘desperate’ attempt, Fergie is making a plea to the royals to somehow prove a little contrition that she feels. The source shared that she had forlornly written on the cards: “I hope we’ll meet again”.

It is suggested that Sarah will be along with Andrew for Christmas this year as they are also banned from all royal family private celebrations. Meanwhile, their eldest daughter Beatrice is going abroad with her family and friends.

Princess Eugenie is yet to decide, but it is likely that she would follow her sister’s strategy to avoid drama.

Amanda Seyfried is not letting go of her hopes for a third Mamma Mia! film and says she’s more motivated than ever to see it happen. 

Speaking with PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere of The Testament of Ann Lee on Dec. 14, the actress made it clear she’s ready to keep pushing for Mamma Mia 3, especially if it allows her beloved character Sophie to step into a new phase of life.

When asked what Sophie’s future might look like if the franchise returns, Seyfried immediately imagined motherhood. 

“Oh, with kids. I mean, I love being a mother,” the 40-year-old said, drawing a parallel between her own life and Sophie’s journey. 

“I love playing a mother, and I would love to dive into the curiosities of motherhood and raising children on a Greek island, just like Donna did with Sophie.” 

Meryl Streep famously played Donna, Sophie’s free-spirited mother, in the original 2008 musical.

Seyfried believes that exploring Sophie as a parent could open up fresh emotional ground for the story. 

“I think that would be really interesting,” she said, adding that while she doesn’t know exactly where the plot would go, she’s confident the heart of the franchise would remain the same. 

“I have no idea where the story is going to go, but I know there’s going to be a lot of singing and dancing.”

Her enthusiasm doesn’t stop there. Seyfried made it clear she’s not quietly waiting on the sidelines. 

“I’m going to keep campaigning for that movie until I’m blue in the face,” she said, emphasizing just how committed she is to seeing the third installment made.

There is reason for optimism. 

Producer Judy Craymer has confirmed that a script for Mamma Mia 3 has already been completed and that the film remains in development as a follow-up to 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. 

“Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen,” Craymer told Deadline in May, while also discussing the possibility of Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast alongside Seyfried and Streep.

Off screen, Seyfried brings real-life experience to the idea of motherhood.

She shares daughter Nina, 8, and son Thomas, 5, with her husband, actor Thomas Sadoski. 

The couple got engaged in 2016, eloped the following year, and now live with their children on a farm in upstate New York. 

For Seyfried, both on screen and off, motherhood seems like a story she’s more than ready to keep telling.
