Todd and Julie Chrisley say their 16-year-old son struggles with comments on social media amid parents' legal trouble

• Todd and Julie Chrisley said they're trying to protect their son Grayson, 16, amid legal troubles.
• The Chrisleys said Grayson should listen to God over opinions on social media during their podcast Wednesday.

"Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley opened up about how their family is dealing with the couple's conviction for tax evasion and bank fraud.

In an episode of "Chrisley Confessions" posted on Wednesday, People reports the Chrisleys talked about how their son Grayson, 16, is handling their legal troubles. Todd said Grayson, who he called the "the sweetest child" with the "most tender heart," has been affected by comments made on social media.

"When you have someone that has a heart like Grayson in a world like where we live right now, you have to be very careful with someone that is that sensitive," he said, according to the outlet. "Because the world doesn't care if his feelings are hurt."

The real estate magnate also said he advised his son to "spend as much time listening to God as you do this message that someone sent, who has two followers and a cat as their emoji."

Julie also added: "Someone else's opinion of you should not matter. You need to know who you are in the depths of your soul. Who you are as a person, who you are as a spouse, as a friend, as a parent, as a child."

In June, an Atlanta federal jury found the celebrity couple guilty on all charges relating to a years-long conspiracy to defraud banks and hide their money from the IRS, according to Insider's Haven Orecchio-Egresitz.

Todd was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the US, and tax fraud. Julie was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the US, tax fraud, and wire fraud.

The couple's sentencing is scheduled for October 6, where the couple faces a maximum prison term of 30 years. They were ordered to remain in home confinement until their sentencing.

According to "Today," the Chrisleys have five children — Lindsie and Kyle, both of whom are Todd's children from a previous marriage, Chase, Savannah, and Grayson. Several members of the Chrisley family have spoken out following their parents' convictions, with Lindsie asking fans to "pray" for her parents in June.

Days later, Savannah said in an Instagram post that she "will continue to stand by my family and fight for justice. "
