Very Sad News: Todd Chrisley Opens Up About Chloe’s Bio Mom’s Shocking Custody Battle!
The Chrisley family has always lived their lives under the microscope of reality television, but the latest twist in their ongoing saga is more heartbreaking and personal than any episode could ever capture.
Todd Chrisley, the outspoken patriarch of Chrisley Knows Best, has broken his silence on one of the most emotional challenges of his life: Chloe’s biological mother stepping forward with shocking claims that she intends to take custody of the young girl who has long been the heart of the Chrisley household.
For fans who have followed the family for years, this revelation is nothing short of devastating. Chloe, whose bright smile and playful energy have made her a fan favorite, has grown up under the love and care of Todd and Julie Chrisley. Now, her world is once again being shaken by a custody battle that could threaten the stability she has always known.
The Bombshell Revelation
The shocking news came when Chloe’s biological mother, Angela Victoria Johnson, resurfaced after years of silence, claiming she was ready to fight for custody. Angela argued that Chloe had been taken from her during a period of incarceration and insisted she deserved the chance to bring her daughter back into her life.
Angela’s comments ignited a firestorm online, with many fans expressing outrage and disbelief. After all, Johnson has been absent from Chloe’s life for nearly a decade, during which Todd and Julie provided the safe, stable home Chloe needed. To many viewers, this sudden reappearance felt not only disruptive but opportunistic—coming at a time when Todd and Julie are both serving prison sentences.
Todd’s Fierce and Emotional Response
Never one to remain silent, Todd Chrisley issued a passionate statement rejecting Angela’s claims outright. His words carried both the fierce love of a father and the anger of someone watching an outsider threaten the child he has raised as his own.
“Chloe is my child,” Todd declared. “She may not be mine by birth, but she is mine by love, by devotion, and by the years Julie and I have poured into raising her. No paperwork, no court hearing, no sudden reappearance from someone who wasn’t there when Chloe needed them most will change that.”
Todd reminded the public that he and Julie officially adopted Chloe years ago, a process that required Angela to relinquish her parental rights. Their longtime attorney, Jessica Doyle, reinforced this fact in a statement to People magazine, noting that Angela’s claims had no legal merit. For Todd, the matter is clear: Chloe is a Chrisley in every sense of the word, and no biological claim can erase that reality.
A Complicated History
Chloe’s life story has always been intertwined with family complexities. She is the daughter of Todd’s son, Kyle Chrisley, whose well-documented struggles with addiction and mental health made it impossible for him to provide a stable home. When Kyle faltered, Todd and Julie stepped in—not just as grandparents, but as full-time guardians who embraced Chloe as their daughter.
Over time, Chloe became central to the Chrisley family dynamic, adored not only by Todd and Julie but by her siblings as well. Fans saw the bond between her and Savannah, Grayson, and the rest of the family blossom on-screen, solidifying her role as one of the most cherished members of the household.
Angela Johnson, on the other hand, remained largely absent during these formative years. Her sudden re-entry now, as Todd and Julie face incarceration, raises painful questions about timing and motivation.
Savannah Chrisley’s Protective Stand
With Todd and Julie behind bars, Savannah Chrisley has stepped into the role of Chloe’s primary guardian. The 26-year-old has embraced the responsibility with strength and compassion, though she has been candid about how challenging the transition has been.
On her podcast Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, she addressed the custody battle directly, her voice trembling with emotion:
“My little sister has already been through so much. Losing Mom and Dad to the prison system, having her life splashed across the media when all she wants is to be a kid—it’s not fair. And now to have her biological mother suddenly come forward, it’s disruptive. It’s confusing. But we’re not backing down. Chloe belongs with us.”
Grayson Chrisley, Chloe’s older brother, has also spoken out, describing his little sister as his “shadow” and expressing heartbreak at the idea of losing her. For the younger Chrisleys, Chloe isn’t just a sibling—she’s the glue that has kept them connected through some of their darkest times.
