Very Shocking Update: Chrisley Family Deeply Worried Son Chase Chrisley Could Be Abusing Alcohol In Emotional New Episode
Reality TV star Savannah Chrisley recently got more candid than ever during an emotional episode of her family’s new spinoff series, “The Chrisleys: Back to Reality.”
The Lifetime show, which follows the Chrisley children weeks before being reunited with their parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were pardoned from prison in the summer of 2025
after being convicted on several fraud charges, has already touched on several intense topics. The second episode, which premiered on Monday, September 1, focused
on Chase Chrisley (Todd and Julie’s son) and his alleged drinking problem. During the episode, many of his family members opened up about a change in Chase’s behavior, which seemed to spiral out of control after his arrest in January 2025.

The second episode of the Chrisley family’s new reality show focused heavily on Chase’s arrest, which Julie called “the worst possible thing as a parent that you can think of” before revealing that the situation “breaks my heart.”
According to a previous report from The Blast, Chase was arrested in January 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia, after allegedly slapping a bar employee. The reality star was later arrested, charged with simple assault, and released on a $10,000 bond.
Todd told cameras that he wasn’t surprised by his son’s legal woes as he’s been “warning” Chase to limit his alcohol consumption “for years.”
“There was nothing in a bar that was going to bring you no good fortune,” the family patriarch continued.
When it was time for Chase to open up about the incident, he told the producers that he didn’t “remember” much of it. But that’s not all.

Although the 911 audio footage stated Chase “got into a fight with one of the managers” at the Atlanta bar and “slapped him,” the reality star denied the claim, adding, “I wouldn’t slap somebody. Like, I’d get my money’s worth.”
