The Chrisley family is navigating a new chapter as Todd and Julie Chrisley returned home on Wednesday, May 28th, following full and unconditional pardons issued by President Donald Trump. Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, exclusively shared with PEOPLE the family’s adjustment to their “new normal.”
Savannah Chrisley, host of the “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast, described the experience as “amazing” and somewhat surreal. She expressed the family’s gratitude and eagerness to return to a more normal life, acknowledging the ongoing whirlwind of their current circumstances.
Regarding her parents’ well-being, Savannah reported that they are doing well, considering the significant adjustment of transitioning from over two years of incarceration back to everyday life. She noted that they are currently processing the experience and spending quality time together. Savannah anticipates that her parents will openly share their feelings and emotions when they are ready.
Todd, 57, and Julie, 52, were initially indicted in August 2019 and subsequently convicted in 2022 on fraud charges. They were sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison in November 2022, which was later reduced in September 2023, and began their sentences in January 2023. They had been pursuing an appeal of their case.
During her parents’ time in prison, Savannah assumed responsibility as the family’s primary financial provider and legal guardian for her younger siblings, Grayson, now 19, and Chloe, now 12. This period also inspired her to launch her business, Good Girl RX, and to actively engage in prison reform efforts, working with organizations such as CPAC and others to advocate for broader change within the correctional system. Savannah emphasized that her commitment extends beyond her family’s situation, stemming from her direct observations of systemic issues and her relationships with incarcerated individuals.
Savannah stated that her parents are also dedicated to contributing to prison reform, expressing a heartfelt connection to those they feel were left behind in the system. Drawing on the adage, “when you know better, you do better,” Savannah believes her parents’ firsthand experience will drive their significant involvement in this cause.
