Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley had no choice.
And it will be soon inside from the system.
Earlier this week, the USA Network reality star was told he must report to a federal prison in Florida next week after his request for bail was denied pending an appeal.
In November, Chrisley Knows Best leaders were sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison after a jury convicted the pair of a multimillion-dollar bank fraud and tax evasion scheme.
On January 17, he will report to his new temporary home:
Todd will begin his 12-year sentence at Pensacola Federal Prison Camp.
Julie, meanwhile, will spend the next seven years two and a half hours away at the Federal Correctional Institute and Federal Prison Camp Marianna.
On Tuesday, the couple’s motion for bail pending appeal was denied, court records now show.
The court also rejected his request to extend the surrender date to 21 days.
The couple, who have been married since 1996, were put through a weeks-long trial that ended in June when they were convicted of tax evasion, bank fraud and conspiracy to defraud the IRS.
Prosecutors at the time alleged that the reality stars used false documents to obtain a $30 million bank loan…
He also hid millions of dollars from the IRS that he had earned from the program.
Todd and Julie have consistently maintained that they are innocent of the charges.
“Age is just a number, and since we don’t know the date of death, we have to live each day like it’s our last,” Julie said during the November 30 episode of the Chrisley Confessions podcast, citing a quote from author Priscilla Shirer.
Added Todd on air:
“It didn’t matter yesterday. Today we have it. Tomorrow belongs to God, because we do not promise tomorrow. If God calls us, He will lead us.”
After the prison term, each Chrisley will be eligible for three years of parole, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.
The Chrisleys appealed the conviction.
In a statement previously provided to various celebrity gossip outlets, attorney Alex Little of Burr & Forman LLP said:
“The trial was marred by serious and repeated errors, including the government lying to the jury about the taxes the couple paid.
“Based on these issues, we are optimistic about the path forward.”
