Todd Chrisley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
According to the White House, in one of the most significant headlines about Todd Chrisley this year, former President Donald Trump announced a full pardon for Todd and Julie Chrisley, erasing their convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion, the charges that had landed the Chrisley Knows Best stars behind bars in early 2023. This historic legal reversal came after a jury previously found the couple guilty of defrauding banks out of more than $30 million and evading taxes, resulting in a combined 19 years of federal sentences and $17.8 million in restitution. The pardon, which Trump publicly touted in a social media post complete with the phrase Trump Knows Best, saw Todd and Julie released from their respective prisons in late May 2025. Immediately, the Chrisleys’ return became a media event and a source of heated debate—not just in legal or entertainment circles but among reality TV’s reigning personalities.
Todd’s public reentry was anything but quiet. Patricia Altschul, a star from Southern Charm, reignited a feud by labeling Todd a felon and suggesting Charleston could do without his new business ambitions. Patricia dismissed Todd as irrelevant after he announced plans for a hotel project in Charleston, prompting back-and-forth jabs and adding fuel to the gossip mill. Their feud dominated social media, especially after Patricia told Decider that Charleston didn’t need any more felons, and Todd, never one to shy away from a microphone, responded through both social posts and an entire episode of his podcast.
Meanwhile, the Chrisleys’ daughter Savannah confirmed that her parents are taking time to adjust to post-prison life and would soon break their silence in an exclusive joint interview on her podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley. She also revealed plans for Todd and Julie to relaunch their once-popular “Chrisley Confessions” podcast before the summer ends, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their prison experience and family reunification. On social media, Savannah shared heartfelt photos of her parents’ first moments home in over two years, drawing widespread support and reigniting the family’s online following.
Businesswise, the pardon appears to have revitalized the Chrisleys’ brand. MediaPost reports that Lifetime’s planned docu-series chronicling the family’s next chapter is now moving forward, buoyed by the renewed public interest. Speculation about the family rebuilding their real estate and media empire is rampant, but official details remain under wraps. According to multiple outlets, Todd has hinted at several new business ventures, though nothing concrete has been announced beyond the upcoming hotel project, which itself is the subject of controversy.
Rumors continue to swirl, but the only confirmed developments—Trump’s pardon, the public feud with Patricia Altschul, imminent media appearances, and the family’s business comeback—have set the stage for Todd Chrisley’s most high-profile chapter yet, leaving audiences and industry watchers wondering how America’s most polarizing reality patriarch will shape his second act.
