Savannah Chrisley stands firm against her mother's sentence
Savannah has strongly expressed her opposition to Julie's unfortunate circumstances since the businesswoman received her sentencing in November 2022. Julie was sentenced to seven years in prison and 16 months of probation for her involvement in the bank fraud and tax evasion case. Meanwhile, Todd faced his own legal consequences and was handed a sentence of 12 years in federal custody along with 16 months of probation. As a result, Savannah assumed the responsibility of caring for her younger brother, Grayson, who is 16 years old, as well as her niece, Chloe, who is 10 years old.
In the heartfelt social media slideshow, Savannah included numerous pictures of her parents, who have been married since 1996. She went on to share in the caption why Mother's Day impacted her deeply, especially since Todd and Julie started serving their respective sentences at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida, and the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, in January.
'I will forever fight for you'
"Mothers Day - this one hit hard! I’ve been DREADING the holidays," she wrote in the caption. "First it was Easter, then Dads Birthday, now Mothers Day, and on the 16th it will be Grays 17th birthday. A lot of firsts happening…and frankly…I HATE IT! I’m angry! I hold it all in pretty well…I’ve mastered the art of compartmentalizing. I may be 25… but I miss my mama so bad my heart hurts."
The TV personality continued, "For those that have misconceptions of who JULIE CHRISLEY is… let me help you - SHE IS an OUTSTANDING mother, SHE IS and even more AMAZING wife, SHE IS an even better daughter, SHE IS one hell of a friend, SHE IS a woman of God, SHE IS a breast cancer survivor, SHE IS a mother to more than just the children she birthed, SHE IS loyal, SHE IS fierce, SHE IS… EVERYTHING that I hope to be. I MISS YOU MAMA. I will forever fight for you."
