Now, the couple is speaking out about who’s been reaching out and who hasn’t.

During their most recent podcast episode of “Chrisley Confessions,” Julie said, “This is a telling time for us as a family of people who have reached out and of people who haven’t reached out.”
The patriarch of the family added they’ve been dealing with the “worst press since the verdict.”
However, the couple has also received “an overflowing of love and support that far outweighs the negativity.”
Julie and Todd could face up to 30 years in prison each if found guilty.
They've Been Getting The Worst Press Since The Verdict
The Blast previously reported on the couple’s tax evasion trial and the guilty verdict.
The couple was initially indicted in 2019, and a new indictment was filed this year.
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.”

Their sentencing will take place at a later date.
Earlier this month, Todd told his fans “It’s been a whirlwind. 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.
“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.”
The Chrisley Kids Have Spoken Out
“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].”
Their children Savannah and Lindsie Chrisley have both spoken about their family’s current situation.
Lindsie posted a picture of a bible with her handwritten notes in it. She shared a passage from Psalm 23 and in blue writing wrote, “I will live through this valley.”
The “Coffee Convos” podcast host highlighted another passage, Psalm 25, which read, “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.”
Lindsie wrote next to it, “Asking God for protection and peace.”
Something else written on the page read, “The devil knows exactly when to pounce.”
Savannah also took to Instagram and wrote, “Hi there my Instagram family… it’s been a few weeks. 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.”
The former beauty pageant competitor further stated that she would continue supporting her family while also fighting for justice for them and others that the system had failed.
