Lindsie Chrisley broke her silence after her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion.
The “Chrisley Knows Best” star was sentenced to 12 years behind bars and 16 months of probation.
Julie Chrisley was given a lighter sentence of seven years in prison but will also be on probation for 16 months.
In a statement to Hollywood Life, the 33-year-old thanked fans for their support during this time.
“I wanted to take a minute and first of all, say thank you to all of our listeners that have reached out to me the past few weeks regarding my family,” said Lindsie Chrisley, who was estranged from her father Todd from 2019 until this summer.
“I wanted to take a step back and begin to process everything before speaking and making any statements.”
Lindsie Chrisley detailed the “extremely hard” few months she and her family had to experience, saying she’s “heartbroken over the updates in my parents’ case that occurred late last month.”
“I know some of the media has tried to twist my response to this and make it something it’s not, but at the end of the day, there is no tea here,” Lindsie said. “I am heartbroken and navigating this process the best way I know how. At the end of the day, this is a real family, and these are real and raw emotions.”
“With that being said, thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. It really means the world to my family and me,” she concluded.
In light of Todd and Julie’s sentences, the couple’s multiple shows, such as “Growing Up Chrisley,” have been canceled.
Todd and Julie were indicted in August 2019 on charges that they submitted fake documents to banks to secure more than $30 million in loans. Julie was additionally accused of using fake statements to rent a home.
