Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s prison time is the worst outcome imaginable for Grayson Chrisley.
Nearly five months after the two began their sentences in their tax fraud case, the Growing Up Chrisley star, 17, is sharing his outlook on his parents’ absence.
“To me, it’s worse than them dying,” Grayson told sister Savannah Chrisley during the June 6 episode of her Unlocked podcast. “Because they’re here, but they’re not here. So, it’s just time that’s being wasted. I’m saying, like, if they died, there’s no possibility of you getting any more time with them. So, it’s over.”
The teen went on to agree with Savannah’s sentiment of being “forced to have closure” in that instance.
“You know that no time is being wasted,” he continued. “But now, they’re here but they’re not here.”
During their conversation, Savannah—who currently serves as guardian of Grayson and her niece, Chloe, 10—also asked her brother if he sees the situation from a different perspective, considering that “they’re still here for you to hug and say, ‘I love you.'”
