Todd and Julie Chrisley just celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary. However, they clearly couldn’t celebrate it together since they are in different prisons in different states. Not only that, but the couple announced some sad news about their anniversary this year.
Here is what happened to Todd and Julie on their anniversary.
Todd & Julie Chrisley Have Bad Anniversary This Year
This year, Todd and Julie Chrisley celebrated their 28th anniversary. Not only that, but they ended up celebrating it completely alone. It turns out that, on their anniversary, Todd and Julie were not allowed to speak to each other from prison.
Radar Online reports that the married couple have not spoken for a year. They were denied the right to make phone calls to each other. The couple was found guilty of conspiring to defraud banks and the IRS out of millions of dollars. They received a combined 15-year prison sentence.
Julie described the moment she said goodbye to Todd before they left for prison. “This would be the last time I would speak to my husband face to face,” Julie wrote in a letter to Savannah (via WSB-TV). “We talked on the phone during his ride to Pensacola, I called one last time before I self-surrendered to the camp in Lexington.”
Julie said that she misses Todd so much “that it hurts.” She said she had never been apart from him for so long.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons allows married inmates to have monitored phone calls. However, the prison wardens have to approve it. Todd went through the correct protocols. Julie’s warden allowed it. Todd’s warden denied it. According to Todd’s attorneys, it is “retaliation” for Todd and his daughter speaking out about the poor conditions at FPC Pensacola.
Fans Mock Todd & Julie Chrisley On Their Anniversary
While Todd and Julie Chrisley have the legal right to speak to each other, Todd’s warden refuses it. When this issue was brought up in a recent Reddit thread, no one was sympathetic to the Chrisley family.
The Reddit thread had a photo of the Chrisleys and the comment “who fu**ing cares and why is this news?” The comments all started piling on.
- “How awful criminals in prison don’t have the right to speak to each other!”
- “They knew what they were willing to sacrifice at the time they were committing the numerous crimes.”
- “Crimes have consequences, and they’re learning that particular lesson.”
This also comes just days after a judge stripped Todd and Julie Chrisley of a trust fund that contains nearly $30,000. This was when a judge ordered them to start paying off the restitution they owed.
