Prior to reporting to prison, Todd participated in one last interview conducted by his son Chase Chrisley. Todd had previously said that "nothing is off-limits" during the chat, noting, "it's a no-holds-barred interview." Julie also spoke to son Chase Chrisley's fiancée Emmy Medders on a Chrisley Confessions podcast episode about the challenges she and Todd would face while being "separated" from each other in prison. "There is that possibility of my husband and I being separated. But there's a difference between my husband and I being separated for a period of time and having to say goodbye forever," said Julie. "It almost makes me feel ashamed that I'm even worried." She added, "I think it puts things into perspective for me because we all think our hard is the hardest thing."
