Very Sad News: Todd Chrisley Reveals Heartbreaking Update on Chase Chrisley’s Sobriety Journey
For years, fans of Chrisley Knows Best watched Chase Chrisley grow up on screen — a charismatic, funny, occasionally impulsive son in one of reality television’s most talked-about families.
But behind the humor, wealth, and southern elegance that became the family’s trademark, Chase faced a personal struggle far more intense than anything filmed for TV.
Now, family patriarch Todd Chrisley has come forward with one of the most emotional and vulnerable updates yet regarding his son’s ongoing journey toward sobriety.
This latest revelation did not come as part of a carefully produced episode, a glossy interview, or a dramatic storyline arc. Instead, it came from a heartfelt conversation — a father speaking openly about the pain, fear, and hope wrapped within his son’s fight for recovery.
A Battle Hidden Behind the Cameras
While fans saw glimpses of Chase’s carefree, adventurous personality on Chrisley Knows Best, many did not realize he had been battling dependency issues for several years. His struggle escalated quietly, away from the spotlight — a combination of emotional strain, public pressure, and the unique challenges that come with growing up famous.
Todd explained that even though the cameras captured plenty, some of the darkest battles were fought off-screen. When he and Julie returned home during filming, they noticed changes in Chase — shifts in mood, energy, and behavior. They feared he was spiraling in ways neither laughter nor luxury could soften. And eventually, the truth emerged: Chase needed help.
The Turning Point: Entering Rehab
Fans of Chrisley Knows Best: Back to Reality witnessed the moment Todd and Julie gently guided their son toward treatment. It was a painful scene for the family — a father taking his son’s hand not to discipline, but to save him.
Chase agreed to enter rehab — not out of pressure, but out of a realization that his family relationships, particularly with his sister Savannah, were beginning to fracture. Addiction had altered his choices, behaviors, and emotional world. If he didn’t seek help now, he risked losing the people who loved him the most.
Entering treatment marked the beginning of a long, emotional journey — one that continues every day.
Todd and Julie Share Where Chase Stands Now
In a recent emotional update, Todd shared that Chase is still sober and, in his words, “fighting the good fight every day.” Sobriety, he emphasized, is not an achievement one crosses like a finish line — it is ongoing work that requires courage, honesty, and support.
Julie echoed her husband’s sentiment, saying, “There is a light back in his eyes. We have our son again.”
The change in Chase, they noted, is not simply physical — but spiritual and emotional. Todd expressed that the young man who once used distraction to avoid pain is now confronting life head-on.
“He’s present. He’s grounded. And he’s trying — every single day,” Todd said.
