Savannah Chrisley has slammed the judge in her mom's resentencing

The ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ star and her husband Todd were jailed in 2023 after being found guilty of 12 counts of tax evasion and fraud, with Todd, 55, sentenced to 12 years behind bars and Julie, 51, ordered to serve seven, but in an appeal last month, a federal judge refused to give her a more lenient punishment, and her 27-year-old daughter has accused Judge Eleanor L. Ross of not liking her "outspoken" ways.

Speaking on her 'Unlocked' podcast, Savannah said: “I truly do believe that this judge, everything that she has done has been in retaliation.

“It has been in retaliation for us exercising our right to an appeal and being granted in part a successful appeal.

“The judge showed that this was more than just us exercising our right to an appeal. This was her not liking how outspoken I am."

Savannah accused the judge of "indirectly reprimanding" her in the courtroom during a sentencing hearing that was not [her] sentencing hearing".

She added: “After that hearing where, it felt like it was a punch in the gut. Because to think that I did something that harmed my mother's ability to be a free woman that one stung really bad.

“That was her way of telling me, ‘You better shut up because it's only going to get worse for you.' "

However, the outspoken reality star insisted she won't be keeping quiet as she has nothing left to lose.

She said: “At this point, I have nothing else to lose. My mom's in there. My dad's in there. What do I have to lose at this point? I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Earlier this year, Julie's conviction was upheld but her sentence was overturned by a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and her case was sent for resentencing.

And before the judge announced he was upholding her original jail term, she apologised to the court.

Before the ruling was announced, Julie said: "I would like to say I’ve had years to think about what I’ve wanted to say and I’m sorry for my actions and situations that let us to where we are today.

"I’ve had 20 months in prison, but it has been much more leading up to the trial and I apologize for my actions that led to where we are today.

"I have done everything I can do to get closer to my family.

"I’ve taken tests for new skills, such as driving a forklift and serving food in proper ways ... this has been the most difficult part of my life.

"I can’t ever repay my children for what they’ve had to go through and for that, I am so sorry."

Todd's appeal was rejected by the court.
