Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley recorded a “Chrisley Confessions” podcast episode ahead of their sentencing, discussing the “fear” they felt.
“I know in my heart that I am a Christian. I know I believe that God can work miracles … but I still have this fear,” Julie, 49, told listeners in Wednesday’s release, adding that she was “living through a nightmare.”
Todd, 53, later said that while they hadn’t “see[n] justice” when they were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in June, they believed God was “going to show it in his time.”
The couple, who were sentenced on Monday to a collective 19 years in prison, went on to explain how their 26-year marriage has stayed strong amid their legal battle.
“When people go through traumatic events, a lot of times they don’t make it,” Julie said. “A lot of times the relationship falls apart because everything is stressful. There’s way added pressures, and people don’t make it.
“I’m grateful that our relationship has grown instead of falling apart,” she continued.
The pre-recorded episode dropped two days after Todd was sentenced to 12 years behind bars and Julie to seven, with 16 months of probation each.
The duo subsequently released a statement via lawyer Alex Little.
“Todd and Julie are people of faith, and that faith gives them strength as they appeal their convictions,” the family attorney said on Tuesday of the “difficult day.”
Little added, “Their trial was marred by serious and repeated errors. … Based on these issues, we are optimistic about the road ahead.”
