Todd Chrisley has broken his silence.
The reality TV star of “Chrisley Knows Best” had his day in court and was served some horrifying news.
Todd and Julie Chrisley were initially indicted in 2019, and a new indictment was filed this year.
Todd & Julie Chrisley Found GUILTY!
The couple faced 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy over a nine-year period.
Earlier this month, the couple was found guilty on all 12 counts. Todd and Julie have denied all of the counts and maintain their innocence.
Their attorney, Bruce Morris, told Fox News Digital the couple was “disappointed with the verdict. Appeal is planned.”
Per reports, Todd and Julie were convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States and tax fraud.
The Couple Faces Up To 60 Years In Prison
Julie was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and tax fraud. She was also charged with wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
Todd and Julie could each face up to 30 years in prison. Their sentencing will take place at a later date.
Following the verdict, both Todd and Julie have remained mum on the topic… until now.
On Friday, June 17, Todd broke his silence on the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast.
“It has been a whirlwind,” he said. “Lot of moving parts, lot of things going on in our lives and a lot of seeing God’s movements right now.”
Todd explained that he and his wife are not allowed to speak about the trial and their upcoming sentencing; however, he did let fans into how they were doing emotionally.
Todd & Julie Are Heartbroken
“We wanted to let everyone know that it’s a very sad, heartbreaking time for our family right now,” Todd admitted. “But we still hold steadfast in our faith and we trust that God will do what he does because God’s a miracle worker, and that’s what we’re holding out for.”
Julie chimed in adding that they are “alive and kicking.”
“It’s a tough time right now, but we are grateful for each and every one of you that has taken the effort,” Todd added. “We’re grateful and appreciative of it [prayers].”
The Blast recently reported on Savannah Chrisley speaking out about her parent’s situation.

The recent events have taken a toll on Savannah, who took to Instagram to update fans and declare her solidarity with her family as they fight for justice.
“Hi there my Instagram family… it’s been a few weeks,” the former beauty pageant competitor began her lengthy message under a series of pictures showing her and her beautiful family.
She continued writing, “Before you continue reading, I would like to ask one thing of you…please be kind. This life is so cruel, and we’re doing the best we can.”
Savannah further stated that she would continue supporting her family while also fighting for justice for them and others that the system had failed.
She added that there was not much she could comment on legally at that moment and revealed her disappointment in feeling let down by God, despite her “relentless” prayers.
