“Chrisley Knows Best” Emmy Medders Has Had A Hard Year
Emmy’s father had been battling ALS since October 2019. While it had been a struggle for her and her family, the Chrisley Knows Best star tried to remain positive.
Sadly, in the mix of all this, she supported her ex-fiance, Chase Chrisley, while his parents, Julie and Todd Chrisley, were charged and headed to prison.
In November 2022, the two were sentenced to 12 and seven years in jail, respectively, and began their prison terms in January 2023.
Then, Emmy and Chase called off their engagement shortly after this, last summer. Ms. Medders has stayed lowkey since, while Chase found a new love, rather quickly.
