Todd Chrisley Gets Dropped From Partnership
Us Weekly recently confirmed that popular non-alcoholic beverage brand Beckett's had severed its ties with the convicted tv personality.
Tinley Beverage Company Inc released a statement on Monday that they had "terminated" their agreement with Todd and that he would no longer be an ambassador for their brand.
The partnership was announced by Todd back in January 2021, when he confirmed that his wife and daughter, Julie and Savannah Chrisley, would join him in promoting and marketing the non-alcoholic beverage.
Todd Was Proud Of His Beckett's Partnership
In a press release in 2021, Todd expressed how joyful he was finding a business partner in Beckett's.
He wrote, "As America's #1 Helicopter parent, my mission has been to find the perfect sophisticated, non-alcoholic party cocktails for our family and friends of all generations."
"When i couldn't find anything, i found the right partner in the Beckett's team. They knew exactly how to make magic happen without the hazards of alcohol and the bland, boring, socially awkward options of sugary sodas and waters. So now, when everyone gets home, they will have been socially responsible - ALL GOOD. And everyone's happy." The businessman concluded as per Us Weekly.
The Partnership Was A Success

Our @drinkbecketts tonics flew off the shelves and we're proud to announce that we're restocked and ready for [sic] enjoy the summer."

Despite the loss of their partnership with Beckett's, the family's marketing firm still supports them. In an exclusive statement to Us Weekly, the CEO of Superior Marketing stated that he wished people could see "how truly great that they are."
The devastating news of Todd and Julie's conviction seemed to have hit the entire family very hard, with some members of the family even going as far as airing their frustration with the sentence on their social media pages.
The Chrisley's Are Holding Out For A Miracle
Savannah Chrisley took to her Instagram account to express her sadness at the situation and how she felt God had failed her and her entire family.
The 24-year-old actress wrote on her Instagram, "Recently, I've felt let down by God, that my relentless prayers have been unheard. But I do believe that He will use every hardship and adversity we go through to strengthen us and prepare us for an even greater purpose. So I will continue believing in our Lord and Savior…I pray for strength, hope, and love. Thank you to all of those that continue to stand by our sides. This fight isn't over'."

The couple's estranged eldest daughter, Lindsie Chrisley, also spoke a bit about the situation and how she has chosen to focus on her son amid all the scandals and controversy.
Lindsie was asked in a Q&A how she was dealing with all the negative news, and she replied by saying, "I don't have anything truly figured out. I pray for the day that I can wake up + everything feels light + ok again. Until then, I focus on things I can control. My relationship with God, my son, my girlfriends, and work."
For the embattled couple, they are still holding on to their faith and hoping for a miracle to happen. Todd opened up about how they were coping in a recent episode of his "Chrisley Confessions" podcast.
The "Chrisley Knows Best" star shared with his fans that his family was going through a sad and heartbreaking time, adding that they "still hold steadfast" in their faith and "trust that God will do what he does because God's a miracle worker" and that's what they're "holding out for."
