Unfortunately, sometimes family life is not all butterflies and rainbows. The Chrisley family, best known for their reality series Chrisley Knows Best, is currently going through a rough patch. Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of fraud and tax evasion and sentenced to 12 and seven years behind bars with a 16-month probation period after. They reported to prison in January of this year.
Daughter Savannah Chrisley opened up about how her family is coping during this difficult time on her podcast, Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley. She revealed her younger siblings — Grayson, age 16, and Chloe, age 10 — are struggling.
Savannah is doing her best to support Grayson and Chloe through this time while also trying to cope with it herself. "It's been hard to understand, process and also help two kids process what's going on in our life," she said. "I'm helping to guide Chloe and Grayson through this process. And I'm having to guide them through this process as I'm trying to guide myself through this process which is very, very difficult."
Grayson is grappling with the image he has of his parents versus their current reality. "Grayson is 16 years old. There's so much growth going on with him right now and it breaks my heart to know that my parents are missing out on that,” she continued. “Last night, Gray had a breakdown, and he's trying to process my parents and the situation that they're in and how that's not the image that he wants to have of them."
Chloe is also having issues adjusting to the family’s new normal. "Chloe at 10 years old is trying to process them being gone and missing her mom," Savannah explained. "We were driving down the road the other day, and Chloe had so much anger towards the situation and she just said, 'Why? They're not bad people, they don't belong there.'" Todd and Julie have maintained their innocence and are actively trying to appeal their sentences.
