Very Sad News: Chase Agrees With Savannah’s Tough Love on His Drinking – Heartfelt Confessions!
For years, Chrisley Knows Best fans have watched Chase Chrisley grow up under the glare of fame — the charming, mischievous son of Todd and Julie Chrisley,
whose humor and carefree nature made him a fan favorite. But behind the quick smiles and witty one-liners, Chase was quietly fighting a battle that nearly tore his life — and his family — apart.
Now, in a deeply emotional confession, Chase is speaking out about his struggles with alcohol, his sister Savannah’s tough love, and the painful lessons that brought him back from the brink.
The once inseparable siblings have faced unimaginable challenges in recent years. With their parents, Todd and Julie, serving prison sentences for tax evasion and fraud, the responsibility of holding the family together fell heavily on Savannah’s shoulders. Meanwhile, Chase’s way of coping took a darker turn. In the wake of chaos, he began relying on alcohol to numb his pain — a habit that escalated into something far more dangerous.
A Painful Admission and a Brother’s Reckoning
During a recent episode of Todd and Julie’s Confessions 2.0 podcast, Chase broke his silence about his drinking habits and the emotional distance that formed between him and Savannah. For the first time, he admitted that her anger and disappointment were justified.
“She had every right to be upset with me,” Chase confessed. “I wasn’t being the brother she deserved, or the man I wanted to be. Savannah was strong enough to say what I didn’t want to hear — and I thank her for that now.”
The reality star revealed that his struggle began subtly — just a drink after filming, a way to unwind. But soon, that escape became a crutch. As his parents faced mounting legal troubles and the Chrisley family’s reputation unraveled in the public eye, Chase found himself drowning under pressure.
“When the cameras shut off, reality got heavy,” he said quietly. “Everything happening with Mom and Dad hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn’t know how to process it. I thought drinking would help me forget — but all it did was make me lose myself.”
Savannah’s Breaking Point
As Chase spiraled, Savannah watched her brother change before her eyes. The once confident and playful Chase became withdrawn, unpredictable, and self-destructive. On Chrisley Knows Best: Back to Reality, she opened up about her fears, her voice trembling as she revealed just how much weight Chase had lost — and how helpless she felt watching him fade.
“I was terrified I’d lose him,” Savannah admitted. “There came a point where I thought it would be easier to mourn him now than to watch him die slowly.”
That devastating thought became her breaking point. Determined to save her brother, Savannah confronted him head-on. The confrontation was tense, emotional, and brutally honest.
“She told me straight up that I was self-destructing,” Chase recalled. “That my choices were hurting her, the family, and myself. At first, I got defensive — I didn’t want to hear it. But later, when I sobered up, I realized she was right.”
Savannah, juggling her parents’ incarceration, raising her younger siblings, and managing her career, made one of the hardest choices of her life — to step back from Chase until he decided to change.
