A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama is facing new heat after a judicial conduct report described loud sexual activity in her chambers during business hours, according to a report first detailed by Bloomberg.
The judge, Eleanor Ross of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, was privately reprimanded over a two-year relationship with an unidentified police department commander that the report said created a “conflict-of-interest risk” and left clerks in a workplace “extremely uncomfortable and troubling.”
The committee report dated May 22 did not publicly name Ross, but reality TV star Todd Chrisley did on social media after the allegations resurfaced.
“This corrupt judge who couldn’t focus on our case because she was too busy clapping dem cheeks in her chambers … she needs to be impeached and we will work with Congress and our legal team to see that this happens,” Chrisley wrote on Instagram.
The report said the judge had sex in “chambers and during business hours,” conduct it described as showing “a gross lack of judgement” during the relationship from 2023 to 2025. It also said the encounters occurred within earshot of staff.
The committee also found the judge improperly attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign and made false statements to judges reviewing her conduct, according to the report.
Ross, 58, was nominated by Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2014. She previously served as a state court judge, a federal prosecutor in the district and a prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.

Ross presided over Chrisley’s 2022 trial, where he was convicted of federal charges including bank fraud, tax evasion and wire fraud. Ross sentenced him to 12 years in federal prison, though President Donald Trump later pardoned him.
The May 22 order affirmed a February misconduct finding by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit’s judicial council, according to the report.
