- Savannah Chrisley's parents were sentenced to prison on fraud convictions on Monday.
- Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven.
Savannah Chrisley shared a Bible-inspired quote on her Instagram Monday as her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sentenced to prison on fraud convictions.
The reality TV couple received a combined 19-year sentence for defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements making it look like they were wealthier than they were. Todd received 12 years in prison and 16 months probation, while Julie received seven years in prison and 16 months probation.
Savannah appeared to react to the news of her parent's impending sentencing just before it was handed down to them with a quote posted to her Instagram Stories. It referenced the biblical figure Noah, who persevered and built his ark despite being faced with questions from those who "doubted and hated" him.
It read: "Noah didn't stop building the ark to explain himself to everyone who doubted and hated. Keep building your ark. The rain will do the talking."
The quote came from pastor Kimberly Jones, aka Real Talk Kim, who had posted it to her own Instagram page just a few hours before.
Savannah's older half-sister Lindsie also took to Instagram Stories after the sentencing, sharing a video of her "best girlfriends," who she said, "show up in the bad times with hugs and champagne." She added the Bruno Mars song "Count on Me" over the top of the clip.
Lindsie, 33, and brother Kyle, 31, are Todd's children whom he shares with his ex-wife Teresa Terry. Chase, 26, Savannah, 25, and Grayson, 16, are the children he has fathered with Julie. The couple is also adoptive parents to Kyle's daughter, Chloe, 10.
As Insider reporters Azmi Haroun and Haven Orecchio-Egresitz reported from the trial, after taking in the verdicts, Todd and Julie said they were only thinking of their children and how they'd go on without them in their lives.
Todd choked up when he addressed the court and asked that they give his wife less prison time.
"As I'm sure you can tell, this is an enormously sad day for my family," Todd said. "My wife Julie should not be punished" as much as he would be, he asked.
"I'm most concerned for Chloe and Grayson," Julie said through sobs at the sentencing. "To hear your 10-year-old say she doesn't want to live if their mom goes away, no child should feel that way."
Julie's request to stay in home confinement until Chloe is an adult was ultimately denied by the court.
