Todd Chrisley shares gloating first social post since Trump pardoned MAGA star and wife Julie
On a Friday, Todd Chrisley shared his inaugural social media update after receiving an unexpected presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
On May 27th, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie were granted a complete and unrestricted pardon by then-President Donald Trump, resulting in their release from prison.
2022 saw me reeling as my beloved TV duo, renowned for Chrisley Knows Best and its offshoots, were found guilty of swindling banks out of a staggering $30 million. It’s hard to believe that my favorite reality show stars could be involved in such a scandal!
Previously, Todd, aged 56, was incarcerated for 12 years in Florida, whereas Julie, age 52, was serving a term of seven years in Kentucky.
On Friday, Todd shared his first Instagram post since gaining his freedom, following a period where both he and [another person] had been spotted in public after their releases, each displaying an improved appearance.
The article commended the family for their son, Grayson Chrisley, achieving the Dean’s List at the University of Alabama.
In a simple and friendly manner, Todd posted: ‘God is always kind, @graysonchrisley. I adore you to an infinite degree and could not be prouder of you.’
He commented: ‘You’ve demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience, standing firm alongside your divine leader through the flames. Remarkably, you emerged unscathed without a trace of smoke on you, proving the truth of God’s words.’
‘Stand tall,Stand true and stand for your fellow brothers in Christ. I love you Gray Gray.’
Based on what DailyMail.com has found out, it appears that the reality family is actively seeking a new television contract.
As a devoted fan, I’ve come across intriguing news that multiple production firms are considering the creation of a fresh series focusing on the beloved Chrisley Knows Best duo. This dynamic pair recently completed more than two years of their prison terms, stemming from charges of tax evasion and bank fraud.
Instead, there’s another series in development by Lifetime, which primarily focuses on how the Chrisley kids adapted while their parents were incarcerated. Remarkably, it seems that this show may not feature Todd and Julie.
After receiving their pardon, the pair swiftly resumed filming, with sources suggesting they won’t limit themselves to just one program.
The network executive informed DailyMail.com, “They’re eager to find a great bargain. If we manage to strike one, I’ll bring them back on air because audiences enjoy watching them.
As a diehard admirer putting it, I found myself ensnared in the shocking tale of Todd and Julie, who were brought to justice for their audacious scheme to swindle Atlanta-area banks out of an astounding $36 million through falsified documents, coupled with tax evasion.
They were ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution.
At a press conference held on May 30, Todd firmly declared his innocence, attributing his incarceration to what he termed a biased or corrupt legal proceedings.
He admitted, “I’d feel regretful if I were the one responsible.” Also, he warned, “The extent of the corruption in our case is yet to fully unveil itself.
At the press conference, Julie wasn’t there; however, she was spotted leaving a butcher shop in Nashville later on, showing a new hairstyle with gray hair tipped with brown – quite a distinct departure from her typical platinum-blonde look.
Todd mentioned to the reporters that his wife Julie, who is a wonderful, kind-hearted, and religiously devout woman he has been married to for more than three decades, is currently at home taking care of their 12-year-old granddaughter Chloe.
‘Chloe will not let her go. We’re blessed to have our family back.’
In response to the criticism she’s received, Savannah, their 27-year-old child, spoke up about her role in obtaining pardons for her parents.
She told the press that the ‘misconceptions’ about their release are untrue.
Savannah stated, “The most common misunderstanding at present is that one must either pay for a pardon or sleep for a pardon,” she added, hinting at her upcoming role in the new Chrisley reality series, as per the producers’ announcement.
I put forth great effort, feeling drained as a result. Yet, I didn’t hesitate to request meetings. It’s important to remember that no one is too proud to ask for help.
She stated, “It’s commonly believed that because you’re a celebrity, you’re wealthy and Caucasian, we must hold the advantage, but in reality, that was not the case.
‘I had to fight, and I was relentless, and that’s how it happened.’
