She starred with her siblings, parents and niece on USA Network's hit "Chrisley Knows Best" which followed the family's life in Atlanta and later Nashville, Tennessee, for 10 seasons from 2014 through 2023. The reality show chronicled Todd and Julie Chrisley in their lives as real estate tycoons in the South.
"Growing Up Chrisley," a spin-off featuring the couple's adult children, Chase and Savannah Chrisley, went on for four seasons after its 2019 premiere.
Who is Amber Rose? Meet the model supporting Donald Trump
Rose is a rapper and model. She appeared on several reality TV shows, including "RuPaul's Drag Race," "Dancing With the Stars" and "America's Next Top Model" and also hosted her own talk show, "The Amber Rose Show," which ran for one season in 2016.
Rose also had two highly publicized relationships with a pair of well-known rappers: Kanye West, who is now known as Ye, and Wiz Khalifa, with whom she shares her son, Sebastian "Bash" Taylor.

She also worked with SlutWalk, a movement to end rape culture and slut-shaming for rape victims. The former reality TV star spoke on the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday.
In her convention speech, Rose addressed the topic of race, saying that "Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're Black, white, gay or straight, it's all love. And that's when it hit me. These are my people, this is where I belong."
Who is Chris Janson? Meet the country singer and conservative
Janson is a country singer and conservative brainchild behind the new song "All American Guy." He is also known for the songs "Buy Me a Boat," "Fix a Drink" and "Done." He took the stage at the RNC, continuing his years of convention appearances.
In 2016, he joined the convention's house band at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to sing a version of Tim McGraw's "Truck Yeah" entitled "Trump Yeah." In 2012, Janson and LoCash helped write "Truck Yeah" for McGraw. Last year, he told the USA TODAY Network in a Nashville Tennessean feature about his work in country music.
"For most Americans, those values of family, God, and our local communities are not just what country music is all about — they're alluring to all of us," he told the Tennessean.
Who is Lee Greenwood? Meet the 'God Bless The U.S.A.' singer and RNC mainstay
Greenwood of "God Bless The U.S.A." fame is a staunch conservative in the Nashville music circuit. On Tuesday, Greenwood graced the stage and sang once again at the Republican National Convention with fellow Tennesseans Sixwire.
Greenwood sang his song "Holdin' a Good Hand" after already using his well known hit "God Bless the U.S.A." on Monday when Trump made his first public appearance since a shooting at his Pennsylvania rally that left him and two others injured, and another man dead.
