Todd & Julie Chrisley’s Son Chase Says Parents Haven’t Spoken in 200 Days
Chase Chrisley has opened up about his family’s new reality show and the ‘awful’ conditions his parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, are currently facing in prison.
Todd and Julie were found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud and sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison in November 2022. They began their sentences back in January, with Todd serving his 12 years in Pensacola, Florida, and Julie doing 7 years in Lexington, Kentucky. Both reportedly filed for appeals last month.
Speaking to Extra about the new reality show, which will focus on the Chrisley children (Chase, Savannah, Chloe, and Grayson) and Todd’s mother, “Nanny” Faye Chrisley, Chase said, “We’ll address everything that we’re going through on a day to day basis… Updates on my parents and our family situation and just kind of trying to navigate the waters of that.”
Chase also revealed that it’s been over 200 days since his parents talked to one another, “which is really tough for them because my mom and dad are obsessed with each other.”
“They’re hanging in there. It’s a terrible situation,” he continued. “The conditions are awful, and if you read all these headlines, they say the polar opposite, but it is not the truth and we’re going to be spreading a lot of awareness to that as well.”
Sharing details of the conditions, Chase claimed, “My mom’s sitting up there with no air, and my dad’s facility has no air. They both have black mold, lead-based paint, the roof is falling in on both facilities.”
Scout Productions announced the new Chrisley reality show on Monday, August 14. The series is described as a “continuation of their story” and will follow how the children handled life after their parents were sent to jail.
As for why they chose to do another TV show, Chase told Extra, “The public is involved regardless in what we do. From our perspective, we would way rather be able to tell our own truth than have somebody out here making money off of lies that they’re spreading about myself and my family.
“But honestly, I think our message from the first show to this show as a family has never changed,” he added. “We want to give people hope. We want to show people that terrible things happen. But if you can stick together, lean on your faith, lean on each other, then you can get through it. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

We as people need not to be so judgmental. Children are involved. Pray for the family. None of us are perfect and we all made mistakes.

True, however if we decide to be disobedient there are consequences and unfortunately it affects others....the purpose is for parents to learn a lesson and children too so this will no be a repeat....unfortunately this is how society feels....if you feel their punishment is too harsh then do a fund raise to help pay their fines and maybe they will have learned an important lesson

They are not children they r adults. It just shows how entitled those "children" are to b whining their parents are hot and can't speak to each other.
If you bratty kids keep running your mouths about the condition of the prison they can and will make things harder for them.
Suck it up your in the real world now...

They’re…not Their and not There. THEY’RE or THEY ARE is correct. I don’t mean to be condescending or rude. I’m just so tired of so many people ignoring what they learned in 3rd grade. BTW: I agree with you. I hate to see this happen to any family. Praying for them all.

They are being exposed to those conditions, along with 10,000+ more people (some less severe sentencing)! So if society changes the rule for them, don't leave the others behind!

Boo-hoo! It’s called prison for a reason! Just be thankful that both places aren’t a SuperMax! What’s the old saying….”Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the crime!”

I think this family feels they are entitled and above it all. The families that have parents and kids there dont get this press. These people should be glad they are in a camp and not high security. Take the silver spoon out your mouth and use plastic like the rest of us and stop all the whining.. if you cant do the time dont do the crime

I believe the mold and lead paint would have been a thing 50+ years ago. Those prisoners live better than most people who don't have a felony sentence. There are homeless people sleeping on the streets, with no food, health care. So the Cristleys should be grateful.

They are in jail-not on a vacation! I don’t have air conditioning either. I haven’t spoken to my husband in years-he died in my arms. I haven’t spoken to my grandson in years-he died when he was 10 days old. Life is full of good and bad. If you commit a crime, you can’t expect to be rewarded for it.

Do you have any proof of your malicious statements? Or are you just repeating gossip?
I would not be commenting on something you don’t have first hand knowledge of

Why are they complaining they did the crime, they have to do the time.
Did they think they were going on vacation?
Their children should have an adult over them ,
taking care of them and a social worker should
KEEP them on the right track. NOT following in their
Parents foot steps.
There are a lot of people in prison, that don't have it
Any different than they are having it.
They are just cry babies!!!!

Tired of hearing them whine. They lived the “good” life based on lies, fraud, theft and deceit. They knew exactly what they were doing. No one forced them to do anything. They got caught. They were convicted and they went to prison. Case closed. Prison is prison. It’s not a vacation.
