Savannah Chrisley still can’t comprehend that her parents could be locked up for years.
The “Chrisley Knows Best” star recently co-hosted her family’s podcast, “Chrisley Confessions.”
Typically, Todd and Julie Chrisley host the podcast together, but Savannah co-hosted the episode alongside her mom.
She explained her parents are taking things “day by day” after being found guilty of tax evasion and fraud.

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. They were 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.
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.
“There’s been so much happening in life, I don’t even know where to be begin,” the 24-year-old, said while guest hosting the Monday, July 11, episode of the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast. “But you have to just take [life] as it comes, and you have to take it day by day. So that’s kind of where we’re at.”
Given the couple’s ongoing legal battles, Chrisley and company aren’t at liberty to dive too deep into legalities of their current situation.
Savannah Doesn't Know Where To Begin
Savannah did speak up about the social media hatred her family has faced.
“It’s hard to live in the world that we live in. I feel like as time goes on, people are becoming more and more sensitive,” she said. “And how you’re going to become more sensitive to your emotions but less sensitive to other people’s emotions is mind boggling to me. The things that people have said since everything has gone down is just baffling.”
Savannah encouraged followers to “do your research.”
“If you actually took your time to get to know … our truth and to give us a chance, then maybe you would see it a little different,” the reality TV star said.
Despite the negative headlines and online hate, Savannah explained that she and her family are determined to stay positive.
“At the end of the day, we’re bound and determined to win in life,” Savannah noted. “It doesn’t matter all of the negative stuff that has happened, if we continue to do right, treat people right, and stand in our truth, then [we will] win.”
Last month, Todd said life has been a “whirlwind.”
“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.
“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.”
