Todd Chrisley is in prison on charges of fraud and evasion of taxes. The Chrisley Knows Best star is currently serving a ten-year sentence while his wife is serving a seven-year sentence. Both the husband and wife find adjusting to prison conditions hard.

Chrisley Knows Best: Abby Lee Miller Shares Thoughts On Todd’s Prison-Life Claims
Abby Lee Miller was a part of Dance Moms. The star also went to prison in 2015 for hiding her income. She came out of custody in 2018 after spending three years in prison. And now, when she heard Chrisley Knows Best star Todd’s complaints, she had a few things to say.
Miller had initially called Todd “very bougie” for complaining about prison life. The star had also said Todd wouldn’t be able to handle limited access to many amenities. So Todd’s daughter Lindsie had retorted to the statements, calling them “petty” and Abby’s “most recent claim to fame.”
And now, after hearing Todd’s interview, she opines that Todd should not have said anything. She believes that this will make things worse for Todd. “They are going to find a way to humiliate you,” she wrote. Abby believes Todd’s ‘rebellion’ will “make it worse than it was for everyone else.” Having lived the prison life, Abby doesn’t think this was a good idea.
However, Abby still claims to “absolutely” support the Chrisley Knows Best star. She said, “the prisoners are probably thrilled that” Todd said something. She also thinks pointing out the “cat” incident was a good idea.
