Savannah Chrisley has revealed that she plans to take custody of her 16-year-old brother, Grayson, and 10-year-old niece, Chloe.
This comes after Todd and Julie Chrisley were both sentenced to lengthy prison terms on charges including tax evasion and bank fraud.
In the latest episode of her podcast Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, she said: “It’s just really hard to sit here, four days before I go sit in the courtroom. I don’t know what my fate is, what my family’s fate is.”
“I know that the short term is going to be really difficult and I may come home without both of my parents. That’s what the chances are, that’s the likelihood and that’s my new normal,” she continued.
The former pageant queen couldn’t contain her emotions as she envisioned the possibility of raising her brother and niece.
Even though her parents will start their sentence next year, Savannah shared her fears of returning home with “custody of a 16-year-old, I have custody of a 10-year-old” and spending their “first Thanksgiving not as a family.”
Savannah also spoke of feeling guilty that Chloe and Grayson will have “to worry about where” their parents are.
“I think that’s the hardest part, is me trying to navigate how to teach two children who aren’t fully developed yet, that,” she expressed.
“And how to navigate the circumstances. That’s a really difficult thing,” adding that she has to be a good role model for the two.
“No matter how hard it gets, I have to show up.”
Savannah also took to Instagram and shared a quote from pastor Kimberly Jones that read: “Noah didn’t stop building the ark to explain himself to everyone who doubted and hated on him. Keep building your ark. The rain will do the talking.”
Julie and Todd Chrisley reportedly pleaded with a judge not to imprison them for the sake of their child.
Their lawyer Bruce Morris confirmed to Daily Mail that the couple planned to appeal their lengthy sentences.
