Grayson Chrisley, 17, claims that Todd and Julie Chrisley’s prison terms are worse than their deaths.
Todd and Julie Chrisley’s son, Grayson Chrisley, made the audacious claim that his parents’ imprisonment was “worse than them dying.”
On a recent edition of his older sister Savannah Chrisley’s “Unlocked” podcast, the 17-year-old discussed how he felt about his parents being imprisoned.
“It’s worse than them dying,” Grayson remarked. “Because they are present but are not present. Therefore, the only thing being squandered is time. I’m trying to suggest that if they passed away, you would have no chance to spend more time with them. Thus, it is over.
In June 2022, Todd and Julie were found responsible for conspiring to defraud the US, evading taxes, and committing financial fraud. Both are currently incarcerated in various federal facilities serving lengthy sentences.
While the couple is incarcerated, Savannah, 25, is in charge of Grayson and their 10-year-old niece Chloe.
Todd Chrisley’s daughter Lindsie stated she was “blessed” that her parents had been “welcomed with open arms” to federal prison, but Grayson had a different opinion.
The teen said that being in a “mood” resulted from seeing his parents behind bars.
Our schedules are incompatible. Then you’re struggling because you don’t see one of them for three or four weeks,” he said. I find it difficult to have back-to-back weeks due to my mood. I go ahead and restart it after that. You never truly escape it.
While other family members were present for Grayson’s recent birthday celebration, his parents were absent.
He admitted, “It wasn’t the best birthday I’ve ever had. However, given that Mom and Dad aren’t around, I didn’t anticipate it to be. So, yeah, it was a bummer.
“There is always going to be a part of you that is bitter,” he continued. “There is no avoiding it. As long as they’re there, everything will be miserable.
Julie is serving a 7-year sentence in Kentucky, while Todd is serving a 12-year sentence in Florida.
I’m sorry for Grayson. A child must experience great difficulty seeing both of their parents behind bars.
