Savannah Chrisley recently revealed details about her relationship with her mother, Julie Chrisley, who is serving time in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud. Savannah posted an email exchange on Instagram in which Julie expressed gratitude for the lyrics to CeCe Winans’ song “Be Still and Know,” and ended with “Love you always, Mama.”
This interaction highlights the enduring emotional connection between them despite the separation caused by Julie’s imprisonment.
In addition to sharing this personal update, Savannah also provided information about Julie’s legal situation. Julie’s original seven-year prison sentence was overturned in June after an appeals court found errors in the trial’s sentencing calculations.
Savannah informed her followers that Julie’s request to attend an upcoming court hearing via Zoom was denied, a standard practice for those in prison, which could lead to Julie being transported across the country in difficult conditions.
Savannah expressed concern about the potential hardships Julie might face due to this denial, noting that if Julie cannot attend the hearing virtually, she will be shackled and transported over a long period, possibly in the company of violent individuals. Savannah criticized this potential outcome, asserting that it is an excessive punishment relative to the alleged crime.
This update from Savannah comes a month after she shared the emotional experience of taking custody of her younger brother Grayson and niece Chloe, following the imprisonment of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley.
At a Republican National Convention event, Savannah recounted the heartache of informing Grayson and Chloe about their parents’ uncertain return and the challenges of becoming their primary caretaker.
Despite the difficulties, Savannah found a silver lining in her new role. She revealed that taking on the responsibility of caring for Grayson and Chloe allowed her to embrace and acknowledge her own emotional vulnerability, something she had previously downplayed. This experience has offered her a deeper understanding of her own resilience and emotional depth.
