Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality TV show Chrisley Knows Best, recently shared their emotional experience after receiving a pardon from Donald Trump. In an interview on FOX News Media’s Hang Out with Sean Hannity podcast, Todd recounted the moment he learned of his sudden release from prison. A correctional officer stopped him on the sidewalk to deliver the news that he needed to leave the facility within three hours.

Emotional Reunion

Todd stated that he froze in disbelief, unable to process if the news was real, before asking to call his daughter, Savannah. When Savannah answered, both she and Todd began crying as she confirmed that President Trump had called her directly to deliver the news. Julie Chrisley explained that entering prison actually brought an unexpected sense of relief after a decade of intense public and legal pressure.

The couple also discussed the massive success of their hit USA Network reality series, Chrisley Knows Best. Todd attributed the show’s high ratings and cultural impact to its transparency and strong connection with its audience. He noted that the program brought the highest African American and Hispanic viewership numbers in the history of the USA Network.
