Chase admires sister for standing up for the family in tough times
On Tuesday, January 9, he made a comeback on Savannah's 'Unlocked' podcast, delving into the details of his parents, Todd and Julie, facing charges of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy.
Expressing his admiration, he conveyed, "I am extremely proud of you. The strength you have demonstrated and the example you've set for Grayson and Chloe – it's truly admirable."
This acknowledgment came as he took on the role of caretaker for his two younger siblings while endeavoring to secure their parents' release from prison.
Chase added, “I could not be more proud of you. It’s outstanding. It’s tough. But you have shown, throughout this whole thing, you are that b----.”
The 26-year-old responded, "Well, that is true. I'm just not going to back down. I'm just not," now taking on the role of guardian for her younger brother Grayson, 17, and sister Chloe, 11.

In embracing unexpected responsibilities, Savannah explained, "At the end of the day, I'm going to stand for what's right. I may lose fans, friends, and people along the way, and that's fine."
Before adding, "My viewpoint is that really standing up for what’s right is hard. It’s almost impossible. And a lot of people, it’s hard to find the courage to do so because you’re afraid of what you’re gonna lose. And guess what? I know I can sleep better at night because I know I’m standing up for what’s right."
