The Christley's have lived in my neck of the woods for the past few years. Here is what I know about them from my own experience and from some other locals:
I have seen Julie Christie at the local Publix grocery store in Brentwood, Tn. She drove up in a Bentley and wore sunglasses throughout all of her shopping expedition. I know some people who live on Lynwood Blvd., the location of the Christley's Belle Meade home. The neighbors hated the living near the Christleys because they frequently had camera crews at the house when they filmed the garage,the back porch,or yard scenes.
Julie didn't pay her bills until she was forced to do so. She had been sued on a real estate contract, had an an approximate $20,000 judgment levied against her, and evaded judgment 9 different times when her bank account was attempted to be be garnished for about $20,000 or so. It was only when a local judge issued an order that would enable the Sheriff to go to her home and take $20,000 of personal items to satisfy the judgment, that she coughed up payment. Many local businesses are wary of dealing with them. They have left many bills unpaid in the local Nashville area.
The majority of the Christley show is filmed on film sets, not in their actual homes.That is why you never see anything but basic decorations, etc. in their homes. The series has been heavily scripted from the beginning. They have a team of comedy writers who write the majority of the comedic one liners of Todd Christley. In person he is not nearly as witty. The family has to do several takes of scenes until Todd is satisfied. They don't mingle with any extras on the set.
Allegedly, Todd and Julie Christie have been keeping up the appearance of a close marriage for years for the show. They have separate bedrooms, not one bedroom like the bedroom set they film for the show, and basically live separate lives when they are not filming or doing press.
I have a friend that lives in the Westhaven subdivision and she thinks that Nanny no longer has the house in Westhaven that they filmed for the show. The granddaughter is in public school and I don't know if the high school aged son stayed in private schools when they moved from Belle Meade to Brentwood to live in their 11,000 sq foot mansion. Supposedly, they built the house to flip it, but couldn't, so they moved into it. All of their houses will be foreclosed on by the govt.
The neighbors hated the living near the Christleys because they frequently had camera crews at the house when they filmed the garage,the back porch,or yard scenes.
This sentence reminded me of Linda Vater, a 'gardener' on Youtube.
That woman could talk under water and is incapable of speaking succinctly.
I would hate to live next to her.
She is either out the front, down the drive or in the back garden blah blah blahing.
One of her next door neighbours moved and she threw shade at them.
I am not surprised they moved.
Probably absolutely sick to death of having to listen/see her.
There would be no peace and quiet, or privacy.
The Nashville, Tn real estate market is crazily over priced right now so the 3.2 million for the 11,000 sq foot house reflects the huge increases in the real estate market. Nashville has changed a lot in the past decade. Lots of people are moving to Tennessee from up north and from California. They sell their house for higher prices in their states and move to Tennessee where they can use the money and purchase much larger homes. Nashville and the surrounding areas have turned into subdivision after subdivision of overpriced mcmansions on half acre lots. The roads are coverburdened and it has become as crowded as Atlanta with houses, people, huge companies, skyscrapers, traffic, etc.
The majority of the several hundred acre horse farms around the Nashville community are gone, turned into subdivisions. Since it is the new "hot spot", every inch is being taken up for stores, condos, etc. It has changed the community immensely. Many children cannot afford to buy a home within 100 miles of Nashville because the housing market prices are very high and not everyone wants a 5,000+sq ft house. There is a lot of lavish and conspicuous spending now in the Nashville area, e.g., boats, cars, homes, clothing, jewelry, etc. and a lot of emphasis on money, money, money. It is sad to see how it has changed. Any other tattlers from this area, what do you think about what has happened to Nashville and the surrounding communities in the past decade.
