Savannah Chrisley slams ‘nasty’ rumors about imprisoned parents’ marriage
Even when they’re behind bars, Savannah Chrisley is her parents’ biggest fan.
The “Growing Up Chrisley” alum stuck up for Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley’s marriage in a Mother’s Day tribute she shared on Instagram Sunday amid the couple’s prison sentences.
“To clear up NASTY rumors from people who would love nothing more than to see my family torn apart — my parents are MADLY in love with each other,” Savannah wrote.
She claimed the duo “will come out of this trial even stronger and more in love than before.”
Her sister, Lindsie Chrisley, said she “couldn’t agree more,” commenting that Todd, 54, and Julie, 50, are “two folks obsessed with the others [sic] existence.”
Savannah included many pictures of her parents, who have been married since 1996, in the social media slideshow.

Elsewhere in the caption, she explained why the holiday hit “so hard” after Todd and Julie began their stays at the Federal Prison Camp in Penascola, Fla., and the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky., respectively, in January.
“I’ve been DREADING the holidays,” Savannah wrote. “A lot of firsts happening…and frankly…I HATE IT! I’m angry!
“I hold it all in pretty well,” she continued. “I’ve mastered the art of compartmentalizing. I may be 25… but I miss my mama so bad my heart hurts.”
Savannah has decried Julie’s fate since the businesswoman was sentenced in November 2022 to seven years in prison and 16 months of probation in her bank fraud and tax evasion case.
Todd, for his part, was sentenced to 12 years in federal custody plus 16 months of probation, leaving Savannah with custody of her brother Grayson, 16, and niece Chloe, 10.
During the pair’s trial, which commenced in May 2022, Todd’s former business partner Mark Braddock testified about an alleged affair with the “Chrisley Knows Best” patriarch in the early 2000s.
In his subsequent denial on the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast, Todd called his ex-colleague a “toad” and “someone who looks like a thumb.”
