Last week, Julie and Todd Chrisley were sentenced to 19 years in prison.
Julie recorded an episode before she was sentenced.
She said that she was getting the help of therapists to help her understand what was happening.
The adopted daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley is dealing with her parents' sentencing in her own way according to her older sister.
The married couple, who are known to television audiences for their USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," were sentenced to 19 years in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion.
Julie and her daughter talked about how the family was dealing with the changes brought on by the convictions in an episode of "Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley."
"She listens more than you think, and that's why she's aware of the family's legal troubles."
She is really interested in what's going on. She will put on her headphones and act like she is listening to something. She's dealing with the legal issues she's heard about in her own way.
Julie said that they had the help of therapists.
Since Julie and Todd wanted to stay on top of her mental health and what's in her best interest, they've had a psychologist for years.
They expressed their frustration and disappointment with fans who took issue with her referring to her younger sister as her older sister.
Kyle Chrisley, Kyle's older half-brother, and his ex-wife are the parents of the young man. As a result, the parents of the girl adopted her, so she is also their niece and nephew.
Every child that has been adopted has a biological parent, according to Julie. That doesn't mean we're not her parents. She is our own. She's not our granddaughter.
She said thatChloe sees her as her big sister. I don't understand why people have to put a label on things.
She said that family isn't who you're tied to biologically in your genes. It's who you chose to be, it's who you love the most, a family should love you.
"Families can look so many different ways and to diminish the way a family looks because it looks different than what you think is right."
Todd asked the court to give his wife less prison time as Insider's Azmi Haroun and Haven Orecchio-Egresitz reported.
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 found guilty of defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements, which made them appear wealthier than they were.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 16 months of supervised release, while Julie was sentenced to 7 years in prison and 16 months of supervised release. The accountant was sentenced to over three years in prison for his role in the scheme.
