Todd Chrisley Reveals Son Grayson’s Reaction to Trial Aftermath

It was a difficult time. Todd Chrisley opened up about how his son Grayson is doing in the aftermath of his parents’ fraud conviction.

“Grayson is the sweetest child and has the most tender heart,” the Chrisley Knows Best patriarch, 53, said during the Thursday, June 30, episode of his “Chrisley Confessions” podcast on PodcastOne. Todd mentioned that he and his wife had a son. Julie ChrisleyWhile they tried to protect their youngest son (16-year-old) from much of the social networking chatter surrounding their trial and their trial, some messages still slip through.

“We’ve had so much of an overflowing of love and support, and by all means that support far outweighs any negativity we have had,” the USA personality explained. “But there has been some of those comments, and it does hurt his feelings.”

Todd went on to say that he encourages Grayson to ignore any hateful messages he receives, though it doesn’t always work.

“I said to him, ‘Well, you understand that you’re allowing someone that you’re never going to meet and their comment to affect your day, your mood, your self worth, who your family is,’” the Georgia native recalled. “I said, ‘If you would spend as much time listening to God as you do this message that someone has sent who has two followers and a cat as their emoji.’”

Julie, 49, added: “Someone else’s opinion of you should not matter. You must know your innermost self. Who you are as a person, who you are as a spouse, as a friend, as a parent, as a child.”

Grayson and Grayson were married in 1996. They share a son Chase, 26, as well as Savannah, 24. The couple also have custody of Kyle’s daughter, Chloe, 9, and Todd shares daughter Lindsie, 32, and son Kyle, 30, with ex-wife Teresa Terry.

After being indicted in 2019, Todd and Julie were found guilty last month of tax fraud and tax evasion. The allegations have been denied by the two men. Todd claims that a former employee named him was involved in the fraud. Mark Braddock is responsible for creating “phony documents” that led to the indictment.

The government claimed that the spouses had obtained more than $30,000,000 in loans by lying about income and wealth. They were taken to Nashville and remanded there until their October 6 sentencing.

“We wanted to let everyone know that it’s a very sad, heartbreaking time for our family right now,” Todd said during the June 17 episode of the pair’s podcast. “But we still hold steadfast in our faith and we trust that God will do what he does because God’s a miracle worker — and that’s what we’re holding out for.”
