Taking his time. Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s son Chase Chrisley is speaking out about his parents’ upcoming prison sentence.

The 26-year-old sat down with sister Savannah Chrisley on a recent episode of her “Unlocked” podcast to discuss the big changes that are coming for their family. The siblings confessed that they’ve “both been in weird places” while dealing with their parents’ legal drama, but Chase explained that he didn’t feel the need to address it publicly until now.

“I don’t owe the public an explanation,” he told his sister. “I don’t need to explain how I feel to anybody, other than the people that I care about and I love. Obviously, what we have been going through is hell, it is a terrible, terrible situation, but I have to try and find the good, even in the darkest time.”

The Chrisley Knows Best star continued: “I feel like throughout everything that we have been going through, it has made me appreciate things I did not appreciate as much in the past. It’s made me do a lot of reflecting and figure out who I am as a man and who I wanna be in 10 years, and then 10 years from there and 10 years from there.”

While other members of the reality TV family have been outspoken about the fraud trail and its verdict, Chase chose to stay relatively private for the sake of his parents and his fiancée, Emmy Medders, to whom he proposed in October.

“I think … I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to worry about what everybody else [in] the world is thinking and saying about me,” the Growing Up Chrisley personality said. “I have to make sure that I’m good, so that I can be good for Emmy. I have to make sure my family is good emotionally and that I am in a [good] place emotionally so I can be there for my loved ones.
