Savannah Chrisley be vulnerable about how their parents are Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s prison sentences that affected him – one week after they started serving time behind bars.
As we have done, the Chrisley knows best The star was officially reported to serve a combined 19-year sentences (and 16 months of probation each) last Friday after being convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud. Of course, Todd will spend 12 years in posh Federal Pensacola Correctional Institution in Florida. Meanwhile, his wife headed to the Lexington Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky where he was sentenced to remain for seven years. This is a small change from when he was first sentenced in court. The original task was to Marianna Federal Correctional Institution in Florida. The new facility usually handles inmates who need medical attention, but despite fans’ fears, Julie doesn’t need that kind of treatment. So, this is good news in a bad situation for the family.
This brings us back to Savannah, who has revealed a very difficult situation for her and her siblings. And he has a lot to say…

On Tuesday, the 25-year-old took to her podcast Unlock with Savannah Chrisley to share his thoughts on this big life update for his family – and it’s sad AF!
While listeners might have thought they were in for an upbeat episode given the fairly positive title (“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Pop-Tarts”), they were instead met with a somber opening message from the TV personality. At Grow Up Chrisley star began by addressing his family situation, saying:
“The past week has been very difficult for my family and everyone.”
He later explained that the next episode was recorded on January 12, his mother’s birthday, when he felt more optimistic about his parents’ future than he did now. He explains:
“We had to say goodbye to our parents for a while, for a while for the foreseeable future and it was really hard. I haven’t filmed a podcast since then. Today’s podcast was recorded before my life was destroyed.
Oof. We hate to hear that. Obviously this is a very stressful time for the family, especially for the young adults as they are now faced with the responsibility of caring for their 16-year-old sister. Grayson and his 10-year-old niece Chloe. She previously said she would get custody of the minor if her parents were ever in jail. So much to do with only 25.
Noting the inconsistencies between her tone in the episode and how she actually feels today when grieving the loss of her parents, she added:
“I may seem happy and during that time there is a lot of hope. I don’t face the reality of what happened. This is pre-life Down two. And now the podcast that I will do will be sent.
In fact, listeners can expect to get a full and detailed update on his parents reporting to jail next week. Savannah promises to keep fans updated on everything that’s going on for herself, her parents, grandmother, and sister as she tapes the next episode without guests. He detailed:
“Next week I will have a very one-on-one podcast with me giving updates on where my life is, where things are, how the kids are doing, Nanny, all of the above and giving you news about my parents. Because you haven’t already. I’m really looking forward to it giving you that update because I’ve seen God work in the craziest situations.
Of course, the upcoming episode will be very emotional!

He ended his message by thanking his loyal fans, noting:
“Thank you so much for supporting me, my family, and Unlock.”
Before the release of his ep, Georgia native took to Instagram to share her favorite Bible verses written on a dry-erase board hanging on her refrigerator. It reads:
“‘When the time comes, I, the Lord, will do it.’ Rest, God is in charge. Isaiah 60:22 ›
He added in the caption:
“I found my hope in Jesus. I have never felt the presence of Jesus like now… I can’t wait for the story.
Hmm. He still looks quite hopeful! Just like his parents did before he went to jail….
Since their conviction, Todd and Julie have been outspoken about fighting the sentence and trusting in their faith to get them through the dark times. In the last episode of Chrisley Admitted before reporting to jail, Todd stated:
“We love everyone who calls, everyone who considers themselves a fan. You will hear from us again soon. Good luck and God bless.”
So far, there’s no word on an appeal, so we’re not sure how “soon” he’ll be back, but he’s definitely trying to keep his head. I hope Savannah and the rest of the Chrisleys can find some peace as they adjust to this change. Mind? Let us know (below)!
