Surgent's revelation comes after an outlet circulated news that Julie planned to hit a counsel to separate from Todd legally. In response to the speculation, Savannah called out the outlet on her Instagram stories and debunked the claim.

She said, "I was notified that the National Enquirer was going to be running a story on or about Julie Chrisley hiring counsel to file for divorce. That is a lie and the only reason I'm speaking about the National Enquirer is because, frankly, you should be held accountable for all of your lies."

The 27-year-old noted that her mother had no plans to hire a divorce counsel and was still happy with her marriage.
