TheChrisleysare finding out who their true friends are.
In a conversation onToddandJulie Chrisley’sChrisley Confessionspodcast, Julie shared how the couple’s recent trial and convictions have impacted their close relationships.
“This is a telling time for us as a family,” theChrisley Knows Beststar said in Wednesday’s episode. “Of people who have reached out, and of people who haven’t reached out.”
Last month, a federal jury found Todd, 53, and Julie, 49, guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud. Both have yet to be sentenced for the crimes and are facing up to 30 years in prison.
“Both Chrisleys are devastated and disappointed with the verdict and will be pursuing an appeal,” the pair’s lawyer Steve Friedbergtold PEOPLE.

On a previous episode of the podcast, Todd acknowledged, “Our family, we’re all doing as well as can be as expected during this and this storm that we’re going through.”
He said some supporters have been sending physical gifts, even leaving items on the Chrisley doorstep.
“We don’t want you sending us flowers,” Todd said. “We don’t want you wasting your money on things like that. You know, the gifts and things like that, you know — we don’t need anything.”
Instead, he urged loved ones and fans: “Really, the best gift that you can give us is prayer.”
