Todd and Julie Chrisley's daughter Lindsie asks fans to 'pray for us' after her parents are convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion

• Todd and Julia's Chrisley's daughter Lindsie asked her fans to "pray" for her parents.
• On Tuesday, the reality TV star's parents were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion.

Lindsie Chrisley asked her fans to "pray" for her family in her first statement after her father Todd and stepmother Julia were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion on Tuesday.

An Atlanta federal jury found the "Chrisley Knows Best" reality stars guilty on all charges related to a years-long conspiracy to defraud banks and hide their money from the IRS. Todd and Julia have since been remanded to home confinement.

On Wednesday, Lindsie addressed the verdict in a statement posted to Instagram Stories, saying that she will be taking time away from her podcasts "Coffee Convos" and "The Southern Tea."

"I know most of you are expecting to hear from me on my podcasts this week as I took time to be with my family last week," Chrisley wrote. "The verdict is not what I had hoped or prayed for, and I am deeply saddened for myself, my son, and my family as a whole. Please pray for us during this difficult time and know that I will be back when the time is right. Thank you for your continued love and support."

Although Lindsie once accused her father and brother of threatening to release a sex tape of her in 2019, during her parents' trial she defended her father saying that she later learned there was no sex tape, and now doesn't believe that her father was behind the extortion.

On direct examination, she also said that her father had been her primary caregiver when she was recovering from an eating disorder in 2008, and he also dedicated his time to care for his son, Kyle, when he was dealing with a substance use disorder.

Julie Chrisley's attorney Christopher Anulewicz told Insider that they are "disappointed" by the verdict and will "file an appeal."

Todd and Julia were both convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the US, and tax fraud. Julia was also convicted with the additional charge of wire fraud. Their former attorney Peter Tarantino was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the US and willfully filing false tax returns.

The Chrisleys face up to 30 years in prison.
