Julie Chrisley’s life changed
Julie Chrisley couldn’t hold back her tears. When her daughter Savannah delivered the life-changing news, her prison mates watched in shock as she broke down into tears.
“I called Savannah again, and she said, ‘They did it, they signed it,'” Julie explained in her first interview since her release.
“I just started crying out loud. Everybody was looking at me, and I hung up. I was so nervous!”
“I’m getting out of here!”
Julie’s prison mates saw Julie’s emotional reaction and became concerned. In prison, it’s rare to get good news.
“Everybody was looking at me because, unfortunately, most of the news you get in prison is bad,” Julie explained.
“They were asking, ‘Are you OK?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’m fine. I’m getting out of here!’
Todd’s disbelief turns to joy
Todd received the amnesty announcement differently. A fellow inmate saw him walk by and said comfortingly, “Brother, I think you’re pardoned.”
Todd ignored it until a prison official confirmed the news. His reaction? A mix of relief and humor: “Now they don’t have to worry about me. Hey, if I’m pardoned, I’m so happy!”
Family reunites after two years of separation
The Chrisleys didn’t waste any time reconnecting. Just a month after their release in May, the family sat down together for a Fox News interview with Lara Trump.
Their 12-year-old adopted daughter, Chloe, has been particularly sticking by Julie’s side.
“Julie is a wonderful, decent, God-fearing woman,” Todd said during a press conference in Nashville.
“Khloe wouldn’t let them go, so we’re blessed to have our family back.”
What’s next for the Chrisley family?
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to hear more from the reality TV couple.
Savannah recently announced that her parents will appear on her podcast “Unlocked” and resume their own show, “Chrisley Confessions.”
“I’m so glad that they will have a place to share their story and really be themselves after the last two and a half years,” Savannah explained.
The full interview will air on Fox News Channel’s “My View with Lara Trump” on Saturday, June 28 at 9 p.m. ET.
