Savannah Chrisley opened up about her life “falling apart” after her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, reported to prison.
“Last week was extremely difficult for my family as a whole and each of us individually,” Savannah told her podcast listeners in a new episode.
“We kind of had to say goodbye to my parents for somewhat, for a little bit of time for the foreseeable future and that was really, really, really tough. I haven’t filmed a podcast since then. The podcast that’s going to be airing today that you’re going to be watching was filmed prior to my life falling apart,” she noted.
Savannah explained that the episode, released Tuesday, was actually recorded on Jan. 12 before both of her parents reported to prison after being convicted of federal tax evasion.

“It may seem happy-go-lucky and during that time I think it’s because there was a lot of hope that was had, and I wasn’t faced with the reality of the situation,” she explained. “So, I kind of just wanted to throw this in there to address that because I know a lot of people are going to be like, ‘Woah, what is this?’ And this was kind of pre-life falling apart. And now podcasts that I do moving forward will be post.”
“So, I kind of hope that helps you understand things and next week I’ll have a very intense one-on-one podcast with myself kind of giving an update where my life is at, where things stand, how the kiddos are, Nanny, all the above and give an update on my parents. Because you guys don’t have one yet,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to giving that update because I’ve seen God work in the craziest of circumstances.”
