After her parents were sentenced on Monday, Chrisley said she had been granted custody of her two younger siblings.
Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are known to television audiences for their USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," were sentenced to prison on Monday.
The younger brother and niece of Chrisley have been placed in her care.
She told herself that the chances were that she would come home without her parents. My new normal is that.
We don't spend Thanksgiving as a family because I have custody of a 16-year-old and a 10-year-old.
She said she has never been away from her family for the holidays. I want you to understand where I'm coming from and have some grace for me and my family because it hurts.
She said that the family would be filing for an appeal to have the convictions overturned in order to grieve the loss of their parents.
Todd and Julie have two children, one of which is a son, Chase. Lindsie and Kyle are Todd's children with his ex- wife Teresa Terry. The Chrisley's won custody of Kyle's daughter.
Todd and Julie had their children at the forefront of their minds when they were sentenced on Monday. Insider reporters Azmi Haroun and Haven Orecchio-Egresitz reported that after taking in the verdicts, the couple said they were only thinking of their children and how they would survive without them.
When Todd spoke to the court, he asked that his wife's prison time be reduced.
Todd said that this is a sad day for his family. He wanted his wife to not be punished as much as he would be.
Julie said through sobs that she was most concerned for the two boys. No child should feel that way if their mom leaves.
The court denied Julie's request to stay in home confinement until the child is grown up.
The Chrisleys were sentenced to 19 years in prison for defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie was sentenced to seven years in prison.
