Savannah Chrisley has seemingly spoken out for the first time after her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sentenced to a combined total of 19 years in federal prison for tax evasion.
On Monday (November 21), 53-year-old Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months probation, while 49-year-old Julie was sentenced to seven years in prison, plus 16 months probation, per WSB-TV Atlanta.
The Chrisley Knows Best stars were convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud back in June and were handed down their sentences after prosecutors alleged that they used false documents to get $30 million in bank loans, as well as failing to pay back more than $20 million in debt.
Shortly after the proceedings, the couple's 25-year-old daughter Savannah took to her social media to speak out for the first time after the verdict ruling.
On her Instagram story, Savannah promoted a sale for her beauty line, Sassy By Savannah - Certainly, a bizarre thing to post considering the recent news - but Savannah would then share another post to her Stories seemingly providing some clarity.
On the next slide, Savannah shared a quote by pastor Kimberly Jones, a.k.a. Real Talk Kim.
"Noah didn't stop building the ark to explain himself to everyone who doubted and hated on him," the post by Jones reads. "Keep building your ark. The rain will do the talking."
And on Tuesday (November 22), Savannah released the lastest episode of her Unlocked podcast - where she appeared by herself.
The episode was recorded prior to the sentencing, with the post's description reading: "When you hear this emotional solo episode of Unlocked, Savannah will likely have just left the courtroom after hearing the decision on her parents’ fate following their sentencing in Federal Court in Atlanta on Monday evening.
"As she was recording this, she was well aware that she could come home from Georgia without either of her parents and with custody of both of her younger siblings, her brother Grayson who is 16 and her sister, Chloe, who is 10."
Check out the emotional episode below:The description adds: "Thoughts of the holidays without Todd and Julie, the overwhelm of nonstop public opinion, and desperation of a 25-year-old female who still longs to have her parents are recurring themes. Savannah has leaned more and more into being transparent regarding her emotional health in recent months, and this raw, unfiltered monologue is no exception.
"High-functioning depression, severe anxiety, and discussion of past suicidal thoughts all make their way in to this episode. She admits that it truly all crashes down for her emotionally when she reaches those moments that 'fix it' mode is no longer an option and she is forced to surrender."
Last month, the reality star opened up about her parents' legal woes on an episode of her Unlocked podcast when her mother was a guest. She revealed that Julie was "handling it way better than I am," however, her mom disagreed.
Savannah also shared her feelings ahead of her parents' sentencing, saying at the time: "That's where I'm at, being so angry because my whole life could change."
"And I don't mean money. But the two people that I've always had there for me and that's been my support system and who I've leaned on," she explained. "It makes me so angry to see two people who are constantly stepping up for people and then, it's like, 'When are people gonna step up for them?'"
In September, before the sentencing, Todd touched upon the subject on his Chrisley Confessions podcast and said that he felt the truth would eventually prevail.
"I know that the truth will eventually rise to the top and I know that we will have survived the lies because God has put that in my spirit," he said. "I'm filled with the Holy Spirit. I know and I have a peace that God is working overtime. Satan will never outwork God."
As well as the Chrisleys, their accountant, Peter Tarantino, was also sentenced on Monday to three years in prison after being found guilty of filing two false corporate tax returns on behalf of the couple's company.
Deadline has also announced that Chrisley Knows Best has been canceled after running for nine seasons - despite being renewed for a tenth season a month before the convictions.
In addition to this, the spin-off show, Growing Up Chrisley - which followed Savannah and her 26-year-old brother Chase as they adopt adulthood away from their parents - has also been canceled.
