In his last episode Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley podcast, host Savannah Chrisley reported on her journey since parents Todd and Julie reported to jail on Jan. 17.
The Chrisley knows better stars, who were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in June, are serving a total of 19 years behind bars: 12 years for Todd at Pensacola Federal Correctional Institution in Florida and seven for Julie at Lexington Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky.
“Last week was an extremely difficult week for my family as a whole and for each of us individually,” Savannah said at the top of the show. “We kind of had to say goodbye to my parents for a while, you know, for a while, for the foreseeable future, and that was really, really, really hard, and I haven’t done a podcast since. The podcast that is going to be broadcast today, that you are watching, was recorded before my life fell apart.”
He explained that the episode, which was recorded on January 12, Julie’s birthday, does not reflect the turmoil currently happening in her personal life.
“It can look happy and, during that time, I think it’s because there was a lot of hope,” he said. “And I didn’t face the reality of the situation. So I kind of wanted to throw that in, to deal with it, because I know a lot of people are going to be like, ‘What’s that?’ now, the podcasts I do in the future will be published.”
Savannah said the next episode will be a check-up on other family members.
“Next week, I’m going to have a very intense one-on-one podcast with myself on where my life is, where things are, how the kids are, Nanny, all of the above, so… and give an update for my parents,” he said. “Because you haven’t yet, and I’m really, really looking forward to giving this update because I’ve seen God work in the craziest circumstances.”
She also expressed her gratitude for those who stand by the reality family.
“Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, my family and Unlocked,” said Savannah, who has custody of her 16-year-old brother Grayson and her niece, Chloe, who is 10 and is being raised by Todd and Julie.
Meanwhile, the couple have maintained their innocence and their lawyer said they plan to appeal.
