Julie Chrisley attempted to avoid her federal prison sentence this week by claiming her 10-year-old adopted daughter, Chloe, is “suicidal” as a result of her and her husband’s prison sentences, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The shocking claim came on Monday as Julie, 49, and her husband Todd Chrisley, 53, were sentenced to a combined total of 19 years in prison after being found guilty of federal tax fraud and conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans.
According to Daily Mail, the Chrisley Knows Best matriarch claimed the guilty verdict against her and her husband – and their subsequent sentences in federal prison – has left Chloe “suicidal,” saying she “doesn’t want to live if [her] mom goes away.”
“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 told US District Judge Eleanor Ross before the reality TV star’s sentence was handed down in Atlanta, Georgia.
