She continued, “I know it’s going to be very difficult in the short term and I may come home without both my parents. That’s what the odds are, that’s the probability and that’s my new normal.”
The Georgia native, who is best known for starring in Chrisley Knows Best from 2014 to 2021, got emotional as she envisioned the possibility of raising her sibling and niece.
While the duo will not begin their sentence on Jan. 15, 2023, Savannah expressed that they came home Tuesday with “custody of a 16-year-old, I have custody of a 10-year-old” and spend their “first Thanksgiving” not as a family. ‘

Savannah then said they felt guilty about Grayson and Chloe having to “worry about where” their parents are.
“I think that’s the hardest part, trying to navigate how to teach two kids who aren’t fully developed yet. And how to navigate the circumstances. That’s very hard,” she said of her show.
“I have to be a positive role model for Chloe and Grayson,” she later added. “As hard as it gets, I have to show up.”

Yesterday, Todd and Julie reportedly begged a judge not to jail them over their “suicidal” young teen.
On Tuesday morning, their attorney Bruce Morris confirmed to DailyMail.com that they intend to appeal the verdicts.
Savannah took to Instagram last night to defend her parents.
She posted a quote from Twitter pastor Kimberly Jones that read, “Noah didn’t stop building the ark to explain himself to all who doubted and hated him. Keep building your ark. The rain will do the talking.’

Her sister Lindsie Chrisley, who was estranged from her famous father but has recently reconciled with him, posted a photo with her friends who had gone to her house to support her with a “bottle of champagne.”
Meanwhile, their brother, Kyle, asked his followers not to “judge” like the bible verse Matthew 7:1-3.
The pair denied fraud and insisted any misconduct was at the hands of a disgruntled employee.
That employee had told the court that he and Todd were having a sexual affair.

“The unanimous verdict of the jury sets the record straight: Todd and Julie Chrisley are career con artists who have made a living jumping from one fraud scheme to the next, lying to banks, defrauding salespeople and evading taxes at every turn.” said prosecutor Annalize Peters yesterday. .
Todd and Julie live in Nashville, Tennessee, in a $3.4 million home. They were charged in Georgia, where they also own property.
Since 2014, they’ve billed themselves as a holier-than-thou family and appeared in multiple reality TV shows and spin-offs.
But it was their penchant for the spotlight that ultimately put them on the radar of prosecutors.
Prior to the show, they filed for bankruptcy in 2014, citing $50 million in debt. At the time, Todd’s attorney claimed it was up to him to personally guarantee a business loan.
They downsized their home in Georgia to a smaller property in Nashville, where much of the show was filmed.
Many of the charges they faced predated their fame.
