Julie Chrisley Reveals Dramatic Jail Makeover After Trump Pardon with Todd

Julie Chrisley looked worlds away from her polished reality star days as she debuted a dramatic new look after her release from prison following President Trump’s pardon.

Julie, 52 – who was freed alongside husband Todd on Wednesday – shocked as she sported brown and gray locks while leaving a butcher shop in Nashville in her first few hours as a free woman on Thursday.

The former Chrisley Knows Best star, who was known for her coiffed blonde do, smiled in the image first obtained by Fox News Digital. 

Julie and Todd, 56, who starred in Chrisley Knows Best and several spin-offs, were found guilty of defrauding banks out of $30 million in 2022.

Julie had been serving her seven-year prison sentence in Kentucky, while Todd, 56, was serving his 12-year sentence in Florida.

Early Wednesday evening, Todd was released from Federal Prison Camp Pensacola while Julie was set free from FMC Lexington, according to Fox5.

The pair’s elated daughter Savannah, 27, spoke to the press outside his Florida prison after campaigning for years for their release.

While dressed in bright pink ‘MAGA Barbie’ attire, she lauded President Trump, who personally called her on Tuesday to inform her of his decision to give her parents ‘a full, unconditional pardon.’

After a nearly three-week jury trial, Todd and Julie were convicted in June 2022 of conspiring to defraud banks in the Atlanta, Georgia area out of more than $30 million in personal loans by submitting false documents.

They were also found guilty of wire fraud and tax evasion, obscuring their earnings while showcasing a luxurious lifestyle with expensive cars and designer clothes.

Wearing a hot pink MAGA hat, Savannah said she is ‘so grateful that I’m going to leave here with my dad’ after an ‘insane’ three years of her trying to get him and Julie freed.

She confirmed that her brother Grayson Chrisley would be the one picking up their mother from her Kentucky prison facility.

‘President Trump signed the pardons at around 3pm this afternoon and it’s all due to President Trump, Alice Johnson, Ed Martin, all of them,’ she told the crowd.

‘They have truly just shown up and looked at [Todd and Julie’s] case with a fine-tooth comb and they’ve seen the corruption.’

After her call with Trump, Savannah said she arrived at her dad’s prison in Pensacola at 2 in the morning on Wednesday and has been waiting there since.

‘I have not gone to sleep. I did not bring any clothes with me. I did not bring a toothbrush with me. I brought absolutely nothing with me,’ she revealed with a laugh. 

‘I’m just a daughter that wants to take my dad home with me.’

When asked what Todd and Julie’s reactions were to Trump’s pardon, Savannah said that he was initially in total disbelief.

‘They didn’t believe it. [The pardon] literally came out of nowhere. As I said before, I was walking into the grocery store when I got the call from the president,’ she explained.

‘I was just in such shock and such awe that the president himself called me and took the time to let me know that my family’s coming back together.’

Savannah said that her and Trump’s entire correspondence was captured ‘on video’ and that he had called to let her know that he was ‘reuniting [her] family.’

She also said that Trump and her younger brother Grayson Chrisley, 19, spoke briefly ‘about the University of Alabama where President Trump just gave the commencement speech.’

Grayson is currently a sophomore at the university located in Tuscaloosa.

‘So, it was absolutely amazing. It truly was just a human to human interaction and yes, he is our president but he’s also a person with a heart and who loves people well,’ Savannah gushed.

‘Over the last 24 hours, I’ve gotten so much love and so much hate. And I’ve had people say, ‘Hmmm, I wonder what she had to do to get this pardon?’ I didn’t have to do anything.

‘I didn’t have to do anything other than stand firm in my beliefs and my convictions and fight for my parents and fight for what was right.’

Savannah went on to declare that President Trump has given all of the American people ‘hope and a brighter future’ since stepping into office — not just her family.

‘People like to say [Trump’s] for the wealthy, for people who have campaigned for him [but] he has truly given everyone a chance at a better life and for that I will forever be grateful.’ 

Savannah confirmed that her and her family, including Todd and Julie, will soon be returning to TV with a new reality show.

‘We have a new show coming out on Lifetime and it will document all of these things and we’re excited.’

According to TMZ, production has already started on the Chrisley’s new show and a camera crew followed both Savannah and Grayson as they traveled to pick up their parents from prison.
