Savannah Chrisley's parents were incarcerated following their convictions for tax fraud and evasion. However, on May 28, President Trump pardoned them. At the time, Savannah was left to raise her siblings, Chloe, 12, and Grayson, 19.
In The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup, which debuted this Sunday, June 29, she spoke of what it was like for her to raise her siblings, adding that her father was not happy with her work.
"I have learned that a house is not a priority to her," Todd, 56, said. "Maintenance is not a priority to her."
Savannah Chrisley retorted:
"No, I was raising kids. He comes in and is critiquing everything in the house. I was literally fighting for y'all for two and a half years and raising kids, I think the floors are fine."
Todd, who was sentenced to 12 years behind bars, and his wife, who was serving seven, have since opened up for an exclusive interview with Fox News since their release. Joined by their eldest children, they spoke to Lara Trump, President Trump's daughter-in-law, of their gratitude for being pardoned.
“We owe thanks to God,” Todd said. “And I say — and God touched President Trump’s heart. God led the people to advocate for us. And so I’m grateful, because every night I would pray that God would return me home to my wife and my children. And he did that, so I’m grateful.”
Julie Chrisley then recounted the moment she learned they had been pardoned from Savannah Chrisley:
“She said, ‘He did it! He signed it!’ And I just started busting out crying,” she said.
As for Todd, he only learned of the news when a corrections officer swung by his dormitory to check up on him:
“And he goes, ‘Are you good?’ And I said, ‘As good as I can be,’” he said. “And he says, ‘Todd, you just got pardoned. They sent me down here to make sure you’re OK.’ And I said, ‘Well they don’t need to be worrying about me now. Hell, if I’m pardoned, I’m great!’”
The pair has since considered relocating themselves, as they said in their special, which is expected to air on June 30 on GMA:
“You know, I think we will always have a presence in Nashville, but I have a pull for Julie and I to go back to South Carolina — to Charleston — to that area. And we have plans for what we wanna do,” Todd said.
He added,
“We have hopes of acquiring a hotel — a mansion — there, that we are gonna convert into a hotel, and we’re gonna create a show around that.”
He also revealed that a docuseries about his family is already in the works, adding that it started “as soon as” they got home from prison. The series is expected to chronicle the lives of Savannah Chrisley and her siblings as they navigate their parents' conviction and their subsequent return back home.
“We obviously, we had been filming, and we had just wrapped filming for all intents and purposes,” Savannah Chrisley said in a recent press conference. “And then we get the call that they had been pardoned, so we picked right back up.”
Following their release, Todd and Julie's main priority was spending time with their children, their attorney, Alex Little, said, according to NBC News.
“Right now, their focus is reuniting as a family and spending family time together,” he said. “They are both people who have always been in the public eye, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to do that.”
