Todd and Julie Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best have released a statement expressing their sadness in the wake of news that Chloe Chrisley's mother is attempting to regain custody. Jessica Doyle, the family law attorney who Todd and Chrisley used for the adoption of Chloe, has confirmed that Angela Johnson does not have parental rights over Chloe as they were terminated in 2017. Despite this, Johnson has stated plans to go back to court and get Chloe back home. Jessica has stated that Todd and Julie are Chloe's legal parents through adoption.

Savannah Chrisley spoke on an episode of her Unlocked Podcast recently, where she revealed that her sister is aware of the legal issues going on within the family. In response, Todd and Julie acknowledged their granddaughter's listening habits when it comes to conversations regarding the Chrisley family case, Savannah said to People, "She listens. She listens more than you think. She'll put on her headphones and act like she is listening to something when in reality nothing's on." Though Angela's case may be complicated, Jessica's statement highlighting how Todd and Julie are Chloe's legal parents should not be overlooked. This would mean that Angela does not have a right to take legal action against the Chrisleys without any concrete evidence of mistreatment or abuse.
