Savannah Chrisley Says Family Will Need ‘Intensive’ Therapy After Todd and Julie Chrisley Get Out of Prison
It won’t all be good vibes when disgraced reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley finally get out of prison.
When the Chrisley Knows Best stars walk free, the entire family will need to sit down to unpack what has happened in the past few years, their daughter Savannah Chrisley said in the May 13 episode of her Unlocked podcast.
Savannah Chrisley opens up about ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ family drama
Savannah, 27, sat down with her grandmother, Nanny Pam, to talk about her mom’s childhood and her parents’ legal drama. The reality star has been raising her two younger siblings, Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 12, while her parents serve time for bank and tax fraud. She said that when Todd and Julie do come home, it won’t all be water under the bridge.
“There’s going to be a lot of stuff that happens because when they come home, I have already told them that over the past two and a half years, I’ve figured it out. So if they come home thinking they’re gonna rescue individuals and act like nothing’s happened, then I’m out,” Savannah said during the hour-long conversations (via YouTube). “I told them that and mama has said, ‘Well, that’s not happening.’”
“I said, ‘If we’re going to actually all come back together, there needs to be an intensive, week-long therapy that we all go to and hash everything out … because that’s the only way that anything’s going to be resolved.”
Todd is scheduled for release in 2032, while Julie’s sentence is up in 2028. Savannah has been lobbying to have their sentences reduced or overturned, suggesting there were serious problems with the government’s case and claiming her family was “persecuted” by prosecutors.
Savannah hints at tension within the Chrisley family
Earlier in the podcast, Savannah also hinted at strife within the Chrisley family. Pam, 70, spoke about wanting to make sure the family was in a good place “because we never know what time when God’s gonna call us home.” Savannah said she appreciated the sentiment, but she wasn’t willing to let bygones be bygones.
“I agree with that, but I also — we know my viewpoint. Just because you’re my family, if you act a fool, that don’t mean I have to get along with you or be family with you,” Savannah said. “Y’all don’t agree with that, but that’s my viewpoint.“
Savannah appeared to be referencing her ongoing conflict with her half-siblings Kyle and Lindsie Chrisley, who are Todd’s kids from his first marriage. The siblings have been feuding since Todd and Julie’s criminal trial.
“Well, sometimes you have to love from a distance, Savannah, and if that’s how you can do it right now is love from a distance, then do that,” Nanny Pam said. “But I think when your mom and dad get home that there’s gonna be a coming together of the family.”
