Todd Chrisley experienced 'humbling season' after prison
Todd and Julie Chrisley experienced a "humbling season" following their release from prison admitting they feel "blessed" to have been able to return to the home they shared before they were both jailed on tax evasion and fraud charges.
Todd and Julie Chrisley experienced a "humbling season" following their release from prison.
The couple were jailed in 2023 after being found guilty of 12 counts of tax evasion and fraud with Todd, 56, sentenced to 12 years behind bars and Julie, 52, ordered to serve seven, but they were freed last year after being pardoned by President Donald Trump and they have gone on to resume their life in the entertainment industry with the couple even appearing on The Masked Singer.
Todd has now explained how the couple felt "blessed" to have been able to walk back into their lives, telling Variety: "I say this often, that so many people that go through what we have gone through, their whole world is shattered. There’s nothing left for them.
"We were blessed that that didn’t happen to us. We were able to come home to our home, we were able to have a car, to be able to have our clothes, to be able to go and sit down for a nice dinner.
"And so many people don’t have that. So it has been a very humbling season for our family, and it has exposed us to families that we probably would have never had any interaction with.
"And so I look at that, and I look at where our life is today and how blessed we are since we’ve been home. And I don’t take it for granted."
The couple's appearance on The Masked Singer came to an end after they performed Elvis Presley classic Jailhouse Rock and their identity was correctly guessed by panelist Jenny McCarthy.
Todd told the publication: "We’ve leaned into it [the prison experience] since it’s happened, we haven’t ran from it. And it just felt right.
"It was kind of like: 'You’re not going to hold this over our head, you’re not going to shame us with this.’ And I just felt good with that song. I’ve always loved that song, and it just felt appropriate ...
"We said to the folks at Masked Singer that these clues are too telling. It’s too fresh, they’re going to figure this out quick. I’ve known Jenny for years, and I always felt she was going to be the one to figure this out."
