When addressing the incident on her podcast, Chrisley admitted that she has struggled with her mental health over the past year.
“I want people to understand that this is a form of entertainment for them and that we really love our job, it’s a job and a career,” she explained. “When you share things about your personal life so openly in your job, it can cause a lot of problems.

“I do think it was kind of hard for me to say, ‘Okay, everything needs to be fixed and this shit needs to be fixed because you can’t keep going like this without dealing with heartbreak and betrayal and a lack of self-confidence,'” Chrisley said. “You can’t carry this on every day because I’ll just sit in it.” I think I’ve sat in it long enough. I don’t want to take anything lightly, but it was a great break for me.”
