Todd and Julie Chrisley claim that life after prison is more difficult than their time behind bars.
“Life is rougher than prison life,” Todd Chrisley, a real estate mogul, said on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast “Chrisley Confessions 2.0.” “That’s a sad thing to say because it is so horrific, the conditions that you’re there for, but that’s from a physical standpoint. But from an emotional and psychological standpoint, it is harder dealing with day to day.”
His wife, Julie Chrisley, added, “When you’re in prison, you know that you don’t have any control. There’s very little that you can do because you’re in prison.”
She continued: “The longer you’re there, the more removed you become to the world.”
The Chrisleys, who rose to fame with their TV show “Chrisley Knows Best,” were sentenced in 2022 after they were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion. Prosecutors said they were defrauding banks and hiding tens of millions of dollars in income to evade taxes, all to fund their lavish lifestyle, which was showcased on their reality TV show. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Julie Chrisley to seven.
