Chrisley Knows Best Star Savannah Chrisley Says She’s “Grieving” For People “Still Alive” Before Her Parents Head To Jail

Chrisley Knows Best is/was a “reality” show that followed Todd Chrisley, his wife Julie Chrisley, and their family as they lived a life of luxury. There were Range Rovers, Louis Vuitton bags galore, and obvious trips to the plastic surgeon. With a dash of good ‘ol Christianity thrown in to level things off. But Todd and Julie weren’t livin’ la vida loca, they were livin’ la vida broka. If you were watching close enough, your curiosity might have twitched when the family changed homes approximately 837 times during their show’s run.

There will be no more fancy cars, expensive accessories, or Botox in federal prison. On the bright side, prayer in jail is encouraged! Todd and Julie’s paper empire fell thanks to being found guilty of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to commit tax evasion. Side-note, after claiming to be such a big Real Housewives fan, Todd didn’t take many notes on how to avoid getting caught.

Savannah Chrisley is Todd and Julie’s daughter, now the custodial figure for her minor brother and young niece. Sassy, as Savannah is commonly known, also has a podcast where she has been reflecting on her life since her parents’ conviction. During an episode of her Unlocked (maybe she needs to change the name to Locked Up) podcast, Savannah discussed processing her parents’ inevitable absence and the guilt that comes with it.

People shared the details of Savannah’s discussion with her brother Chase Chrisley and his fiancée. “Dad’s always been my go-to. That’s always been my steady. If I’m having a bad day, he knows. He’s just like, ‘What’s wrong? I know you’re struggling today,’” she explained. It is devastating we are once again watching the children suffer after parents knowingly committed financial crimes.

Savannah added, “We just have that relationship and we talk about every single thing. That’s where I can go to and just completely fall apart and him help me bring myself back up.” Supportive parents are essential in their kids’ having positive mental health. Too bad when they have to blow it because greed and gluttony are more important.

She continued, “With both mom and dad, I’ve said it’s like grieving the loss of parents that are still alive, which is the hardest thing in the world. I feel like I’ve distanced myself to prepare for what’s coming.” Right. So essentially Savannah has to shut completely down in an effort to compartmentalize her parents being guilty of a crime and headed towards significant prison sentences.

Savannah is also suffering from guilt as she continues to promote her business and attempt to function in society as her parents’ departure looms over head. “The amount of people who will come at me for posting Sassy [her make-up company] stuff. It’s like guys, I have a business I have to run,” she stated. “But personally, I feel like there’s a level of guilt associated with moving on with my life and thinking of mom and dad not being here during certain life events.”

I’m guessing Todd and Julie weren’t thinking about their kids too much when the ALLEGED cutting and pasting of fraudulent financial documents was going on. Savannah also shared she doesn’t feel like she can get married or have children while her parents are incarcerated. Todd gave her this advice. “Dad was like, ‘I may not be here in front of you, but I’m still alive. I’m still fighting. You don’t have to live a day without speaking to me,’” she said. I’m sure those words will provide comfort as the parents basically languish in a bougie day camp for criminals and she is now responsible for two human beings.

Todd and Julie were sentenced by a federal judge in November following their conviction for fraud and tax evasion. Julie was sentenced to seven years in prison, while Todd received a 12-year sentence. After serving their individual terms, they were both given a 16-month probationary period. The couple will report to jail in January 2023.

5 Memorable Times Bravo Production Had To Step In On Camera

Most of us have the ability to keep our hands to ourselves when confrontations become tense. Nine times out of 10 no one wants to catch a case that will lead to expensive court costs, facial wounds, or jail. But most of us are not in the Bravoverse, and we are well aware Bravolebrities have no qualms about showing their entire ass on national television.

What we usually don’t see are the production crew, because their job is to be behind the camera. And when we do see them, it’s usually because something has gone terribly wrong. Let’s reminisce over some times we’ve seen the BTS guys on Real Housewives, and when everything went left.

5. Real Housewives of Atlanta / The Miami Trip

Season 8 of Real Housewives of Atlanta was a journey. This was a weird time for RHOA because NeNe Leakes was only appearing as a guest and Kim Fields made a decision she would later question by joining the show. Thanks to Cynthia Bailey, viewers met Tammy McCall-Browning, who may or may not have hooked up with Shereé Whitfield’s ex-husband. On an unforgettable cast trip to Miami, Florida, Kenya Moore met some attractive men while they were out and about and proceeded to invite them back to their vacation house. It’s a small world after all because one of the gentlemen happened to be Tammy’s nephew. After an abundance of alcohol, Tammy’s nephew wasn’t a happy drunk and said some choice words to a heavily pregnant Kandi Burruss. When Kenya started getting some bad vibes, she asked him to leave. In what can only be described as a drunken rage, the nephew lashed out and knocked Tammy flat to the ground. That’s when producers and security entered the chat.

4. Real Housewives of Potomac / The Dragging

I love Real Housewives of Potomac.  The cast is amazing and hilarious. You can tell the producers have a blast editing the show. But a lot of people slept on RHOP until they put themselves on the map with one of the most brutal fights Real Housewives cameras have captured. Current star Candiace Dillard Bassett and the now-departed Monique Samuels put their producers to the test during an epic Season 5 throw down, WWE style. While at a beautiful winery in Bethesda, Maryland, Candiace and Monique felt the environment needed a petty pissing contest. After an argument reached DEFCON 4, Monique flicked Candace’s hair and Candy pushed Monique’s chest area. Wine was thrown, there was a LOT of screaming, and hair was yanked. After Monique and Candiace were pulled apart, Monique took it upon herself to circle the venue like a shark. A producer actually had to speak to Monique in an effort to prevent her from becoming a felon. Cases were initiated and court almost became a thing, but everything was dismissed. Monique left the show and Candiace remains, but her storyline continues to be trying to piss everyone off to the point of assault.

3. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City / The Sprinter Van aka Poor Kevin the Driver

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City came out of the gate hot and has yet to disappoint. Jen Shah is another breakout reality television star that should have thought about the skeletons in her closet prior to signing a Bravo contract. In Season 2, Jenny from the Cell Block was charged with conspiring to commit wire fraud and money laundering. She generously provided us a glimpse of how she might act on the prison yard when the cast took a trip to Zion, Utah. Because this van was apparently cursed, much of the RHOSLC drama went down when Kevin the Driver was just trying to earn a living and go home. He wasn’t expecting Homeland Security and… a moving Fight Club. Jen and Lisa Barlow were having a moment when Jen popped up out of her seat and charged at Lisa. A woman in production, who clearly does not get paid enough, had to bodily restrain Jen from attacking someone who I’m 110% sure has never been in a physical altercation. Naturally the other ladies enjoyed snacks whilst watching Jen’s feeble attempt to furnish insight on how often she watches Orange is the New Black.

2. Real Housewives of New Jersey / Prostitution Whore Hair Pulling

I’m kind of shocked the viewing audience doesn’t know the first names of security and behind the scenes people on Real Housewives of New Jersey. They seem to argue so much, but there’s not much else you can do when no one has a storyline and the show has based content around a fighting family for the last 837 years. This particular Season 10 episode of everyone behaving badly took place during a shopping experience that included Beverly Ann Merrill Danielle Staub, and Margaret Joseph’s platinum plait. No one likes Danielle except for Teresa Giudice, because everyone knows Tre’s decision-making chip is completely burned out. The ladies were drinking and being petty, as they do, and Teresa felt the need to incite a riot by getting Danielle all frothed up. Danielle and Marge had words and then Danielle kind of chest-bumped her and commented on Margaret’s boob job. Since we all know Marge loves her water sports, she proceeded to dump water over Danielle’s head. Everyone is wrong in this scenario. It’s like they were all raised in a shed by random outdoor wildlife. Tre tells Danielle to yank on Margaret’s already-suffering ponytail and that’s when Black Suit Guy with an Earpiece goes into action. To be honest, I’m not sure if this man was #hiredbybravo or the boutique security, but either way he had to step-in so women of a certain age  wouldn’t start throwing bows. Teresa admitted to regretting telling Danielle to go full Jersey and apologized to Marge on the Season 10 reunion calling it “a horrible judgement call.”  See also: Most of Teresa’s life.

1. Real Housewives of Atlanta / NeNe Leakes’ Ignites PTSD for People With Walk-In Closets

This one was a doozy. Production didn’t exactly get involved, but they did get attacked. NeNe Leakes’ downfall from Real Housewives of Atlanta in Season 11 was not pleasurable to watch. In NeNe’s defense, her husband was suffering from cancer, her acting career had gone on permanent hiatus, and her personal frustrations almost turned into evidence to be presented in court. During a natural hair party with the cast, NeNe became increasingly drunk melancholy. Porsha Williams (who was pregnant at the time) and Kandi Burruss felt like this would be a great time to get up and peruse NeNe’s fabulous closet. When production started to follow them, NeNe went nucking futs. NeNe yanked a cameraman away from the closet and tore his shirt. She also said, “Let’s be clear bitch, I’m going to f–k you up.” It’s unclear what happened during the tussle, but the group claims NeNe’s anger-directed behavior toward a producer was not seen in the video. Porsha said the poor man “went to the hospital” and that NeNe had to be “taken away from him.” Porsha claimed, “He clearly had scratches on his back and absolutely got choked up and had his head slammed against the wall.” Kandi added the guy “was holding his hands up” the entire time and wasn’t resisting– and “his tooth got knocked out.” NeNe was MIA as filming began for Season 12, but despite Bravo’s claim to be against all things involving violence, NeNe magically reappeared by the third episode. Season 12 was NeNe’s final bow.

Susie Evans Admits She Still Misses Her Ex, Bachelor Clayton Echard

I know some of us wish we could just forget Season 26 of the Bachelor. I’ve often described Clayton Echard as being the “Worst Bachelor EVER” — although Juan Pablo Galavis could offer serious competition for that title. Am I wrong?

Heavy. reported that the recipient of Clayton‘s Final Rose (though sadly, not the ring,) Susie Evans, apparently has no such regrets about having participated in that trainwreck of a season. In fact, she’s now admitting to actually missing her ex-boyfriend.

Even though Susie initially rejected Clayton‘s proposal at the end of the season,  the couple reunited on After the Final Rose and decided to give their relationship a go in the real world.

Things seemed to go well for a while — until they didn’t. Clayton and Susie announced their split just six months after getting back together.

The two hadn’t had much contact since their breakup but have both been very open about their feelings and their decision to take separate paths. Recently Susie opened up about their relationship, responding to questions through her Instagram Stories during an “Ask Me Anything.”

In addition to admitting that she misses the medical sales rep, Susie confessed that the two are still talking to each other. She says he’s been her “closest friend” over the past year.

When asked, “Do you miss your ex?,” the wedding videographer responded, “Meh . . . joking. Of course! He was a wonderful part of my life.” Susie also included a never before shared photo of herself with Clayton.

“He probably has a lot less grey hairs coming in now that he’s got me off his back!” Susie continued. “But really, of course I miss him, he was my closest friend for the last year, and we went through a lot together, and I know we will both have a special place in each other’s heart. And now that we are back on talking terms, I can go back to roasting him. (But you guys still can’t . . . only me)” she added.

Seeing that his ex had tagged him in the post, Clayton shared it on his own Instagram Stories. “One gray hair sprouted when I saw you tagged me in a story,” he joked, adding the crying with laughter emoji. “A warning would be nice next time.”

Though a lot of her fans seemed curious about Susie’s dating life, the Virginia native confessed that she hasn’t really had any dates with anyone new yet. “Mostly because every time it comes up, my armpits start sweating,” she joked.

When someone else asked about rumors that Susie already had a new boyfriend, she shut that down. “I feel like the truth usually finds its way out eventually and, if it doesn’t, oh well. Me having a rumored bf that doesn’t exist won’t stop me from finding a real bf . . . at least hopefully,” Miss Virginia 2020 stated.

When asked how to know when it’s “time to start dating again after a breakup,” Susie replied, “I’ve always been very generous with the amount of time I give myself before getting back out there. I think it depends on the relationship and your mental health/personal well-being at the end of your other relationship.” Solid advice.

“I don’t think it’s ever too soon though,” she added. “As long as you are healed and emotionally available, I say rip the bandaid off!”

Andy Cohen Slams James Corden For Copying His Watch What Happens Live Set

James Corden, who was in the hot seat back in October for being rude to the wait staff at a restaurant, just can’t seem to stay out of trouble these days. Now, Andy Cohen, host of Watch What Happens Live, is slamming the late-night talk show host for totally ripping off his set.

Page Six reported that on a recent podcast episode of Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, Andy demanded that he receive his flowers for playing a role in shaping late-night tv. “I think there has been a traditional idea of what a late-night talk show is, and I would argue that Watch What Happens Live redefined what the late-night talk show is,” he said.

For those who may not be familiar with the Bravo executive’s show, guests from different Bravo shows, along with celebrities, come to Andy’s clubhouse to take shots, throw shade, gossip about their co-stars, and sometimes even spill behind-the-scenes tea no one knew. One of the unique things about Andy’s show is that his set is insanely cool.

There’s a bar (yes, with alcohol,) an intimate live studio audience, live polls, and back in the day, Andy even had his dog there with him. In fact, WWHL was a “first” for many things — and Andy is making sure we know it.

“[WWHL] was the first bar on late night [then] James Corden got a bar,” he said. “James Corden kind of wound up…” he continued before being interrupted by Bruce, who added, “Ripping off your set.”

“There you go,” Andy responded. “I am so glad we’re still going. That [the show] is, like, great, copy my set … go with God.”

Later in the interview, Andy voiced his frustration about feeling left out of the late-night talk show host community. “I don’t feel totally part of the [late night television] group and I have been on late night TV for 13 years,” he said.

“Years ago, there was a big photoshoot that Vanity Fair did of all of the late night talk show hosts and they left me out of it, but they added in James Corden who wasn’t even on the air yet and Trevor Noah who had just started.” Although he was initially left out, Andy noted that Vanity Fair’s editor later apologized to him.

Whether he’s included in photo shoots or not, Andy has revolutionized how viewers consume late-night television. Truthfully, I don’t know the last time I tuned into a late-night talk show that wasn’t WWHL. Actually, Andy’s show is probably one of the ONLY, if not the only, late-night show that I watch.
