Chase Chrisley Was Arrested Months Before Parents' Release
Savannah Chrisley and Chase Chrisley's relationship has been tense in the last few months.
Months before Julie and Todd’s release, Chase was arrested in January on a charge of simple battery after he was “identified” by a sports bar manager as the person who assaulted him. He was later released on a $10,000 bond.
Chase was allegedly acting “very disrespectful and belligerent” when the manager asked him to leave “multiple times,” according to TMZ. The reality TV alum allegedly refused to leave and “slapped him in the face twice.”
Todd and Julie Chrisley Showed Concern Over Son's Behavior
Todd and Julie Chrisley's reaction was aired on the family's reality TV show.
The family’s reality TV show featured Todd and Julie’s reaction to the arrest, both expressing concern over their son’s troubling behavior.
“When I had to find out about my son’s arrest while I was in prison, it makes me afraid,” Julie said in prison phone call audio. “The worst possible thing as a parent that you can think of is the thought that he is conducting himself in a way that is leading him down a bad path. It just, it breaks my heart.”
