Opening up. Lindsie Chrisley shared her first official statement since her father, Todd Chrisley, and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison for tax crimes.“I wanted to take a minute and first of all, say thank you to all of our [“Coffee Convos” podcast] listeners that have reached out to me the past few weeks regarding my family,” the reality star, 33, told HollywoodLife in a statement on Tuesday, December 6. “I wanted to take a step back and begin to process everything before speaking and making any statements.

The past few months have been extremely hard for me and my family, and I am heartbroken over the updates in my parents’ case that occurred late last month.”Todd, 53, and Julie, 49, were sentenced to 12 years and seven years in prison, respectively, on November 21 after their June conviction for bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion.

Lindsie, whom Todd shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry, hadn’t previously issued a public statement on the sentencing.“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,” she continued on Tuesday. “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.
