Todd Chrisley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The Chrisleys are back in the headlines and Todd Chrisley has not shied away from the spotlight since his dramatic release from prison following a full pardon from President Donald Trump this May. According to major outlets including USA Today and ABC News, Todd and Julie Chrisley were freed after serving just over two years of their original 12- and 7-year federal sentences for wide-ranging bank and tax fraud. Trump’s pardon came via a widely publicized call from the Oval Office with the Chrisley children, instantly stirring controversy over whether the family was unfairly targeted or rightfully convicted, a debate that exploded across networks and social media.
In the immediate aftermath, Lifetime scooped up the newly reunited family for The Chrisleys Back to Reality, a new docu-series that has landed Todd back in America’s living rooms. On their whirlwind press tour—including a headline-making September interview with ABC’s Juju Chang—Todd and Julie addressed persistent rumors, including speculation that they were broke. Todd outright dismissed those claims, asking rhetorically where anyone got the idea he had nothing left in his bank account, but refusing to provide details, while daughter Savannah insisted the couple had been working nonstop since their release. Todd also put to rest supposed deep ties to President Trump, stating his family has always been socially liberal and fiscally conservative and that he is grateful simply because Trump reunited his family.
His social media footprint remains punchy as ever, with moments from the Lifetime series and personal quips posted online. A notable episode this week aired an emotional scene between Todd and his son Chase, highlighting Chase’s struggle with alcohol and his entry into rehab. In an interview with People, Todd was candid, telling his son and viewers that one’s story is not defined by stints in prison or addiction but by what comes after, affirming Chase’s progress and expressing pride in his recovery. This revelation comes after Chase’s January arrest at an Atlanta sports bar—a story widely circulated on celebrity news sites—though his attorney continues to deny any assault took place.
Meanwhile, unresolved tensions with Todd’s estranged daughter Lindsie resurfaced. The final episode of Back to Reality revisited sensational allegations Lindsie made in a 2019 Dr. Phil appearance, accusing Todd and Chase of blackmail. Both men have forcefully denied these accusations, with Lindsie conceding in court testimony and on the series that she no longer believes a sex tape ever existed. Nonetheless, family wounds persist with no clear sign of reconciliation.
Through all the drama, one thing is certain: Todd Chrisley’s public return is being watched closely both for redemption and for the next headline-worthy family twist. There’s little doubt both the press and his audience will be waiting to see what happens next.
