Prior to their sentencing, Todd and Julie Chrisley had custody of two minors, their youngest son Grayson, who is 16, and their granddaughter Chloe, who is 10 years old.
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, on November 21, Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced after they were found guilty of criminal bank fraud and tax evasion in June.
Todd received a sentence of 12 years in prison plus 16 months probation, while Julie was sentenced to 7 years in prison plus 16 months probation.
Who Will Get Custody of Chloe and Grayson When Todd and Julie Chrisley Are in Prison?
Although they haven’t begun their sentences yet, people have been left to wonder, who is going to assume custody of Grayson and Chloe while Todd and Julie are in jail? We now know the answer to that question.
Just hours before her parents were sentenced to multiple years in prison, Savannah Chrisley dropped a new episode of her Unlocked podcast. During that podcast, she confirmed that she will be getting custody of Grayson and Chloe.
While talking about the role she will now have in Grayson and Chloe’s lives, Savannah got emotional and admitted how difficult the transition will be. It’s unclear when Todd and Julie will start serving their sentence but they have until January to do so.
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, prosecutors argued back in June that Todd and Julie “took out $30 million in fraudulent bank loans to fund their lavish lifestyle and extravagant spending even before they become reality television stars. They used a film production company they controlled to hide income to keep the IRS from collecting unpaid taxes owed by Todd Chrisley.”
Todd and Julie have yet to issue a statement regarding their sentencing or their son’s accident.
The Chrisley family has also been dealing with the bad car accident Grayson was just in as well. According to initial reports, Grayson was driving down 1-65 in Nashville in his Ford F-150 around 5:30 p.m. when he crashed into the person in front of him.
According to TMZ, Grayson’s F-150 slammed into the back of a Dodge pickup truck that was stopped due to heavy traffic. At the scene, first responders tried to ask Grayson what happened but he “couldn’t recall anything about the accident.”
Grayson was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. It’s speculated he may have a head injury.
The pictures obtained exclusively by TMZ show the front end of Grayson’s white truck completely mangled and his windshield shattered. The driver of the truck Grayson hit reportedly suffered injuries as well, but refused immediate medical attention on the scene.
As of right now, no arrests or charges have been made. While there has been some confusion about when this accident took place, it’s reported that it occurred on November 12.
