Todd and Julie Chrisley are opening up about the “heartbreaking” time for their family following their fraud convictions on their podcast, Chrisley Confessions.
Todd Chrisley says it’s been a “whirlwind,” but he did say that he couldn’t really talk about it due to legal reasons, as they were hesitant to address the elephant in the room.
“I know all of you guys are wanting to know every detail that is going on in our lives, and I have to ask that you respect that we’re not allowed to talk about it at the present time. There will come a time to where all of it is discussed,” he said.
The “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were convicted of several tax crimes, along with their tax accountant. However, Julie Chrisley was found guilty of obstruction of justice and wire fraud.
Todd continues, “We did want to come on today and let everyone know that it’s a very sad, heartbreaking time for our family right now,” he added. “But we still hold steadfast in our faith, and we trust that God will do what he does best because God’s a miracle worker, and that’s what we’re holding out for.”
Julie said, “We’re alive and kicking, and we appreciate all the support we have received from everyone.”
Their daughter Savannah took to Instagram to share a message last week on her parents’ conviction calling life “so cruel.”
“Hi there my Instagram family… it’s been a few weeks,” she began her caption. “Before you continue reading I would like to ask one thing of you…please be kind. This life is so cruel and we’re all doing the best we can.”
She even complained that the justice system had failed her parents and that God had let her down.
“I will continue to stand by my family and fight for justice. Justice for ourselves and for others that the system has failed. (There is only so much I can comment on legally at this moment.)” Savannah’s statements come a couple weeks after her sister, Lindsie, released a statement.
The Chrisleys’ sentencing date is October 6, and they both face up to 30 years in prison.
