Julie Chrisley is officially out of the clink and back in the wild—Nashville, specifically. That’s right, the queen of Southern sass and questionable tax decisions has reemerged after a federal vacay that lasted over two years.
How, you ask? Oh, just your everyday plot twist: former president Donald Trump pulled a full-on reality show finale and pardoned both Julie and her husband Todd Chrisley like it was a season of “Celebrity Survivor: White Collar Edition.” The couple was convicted back in 2022 for tax evasion and bank fraud, aka they were out here playing Monopoly with real money and fake paperwork.
But alas, as of Wednesday, May 28, Julie is officially free to roam the aisles of Whole Foods once again. The day after her release, she was spotted in the wild (translation: photographed by Fox News Digital like a rare suburban safari sighting), strutting her stuff in Nashville, Tennessee with a smile on her face and her hair looking fabulously salt-and-pepper. That’s called “aging gracefully under fluorescent prison lights,” sweetie.
Julie had been staying at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky—basically the Four Seasons of federal incarceration. Meanwhile, Todd was down in Florida serving his time at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, which sounds like a beach resort but with fewer margaritas and more mandatory bed checks.
Now they’re both out, the ankle monitors are probably off, and Julie is back doing what she does best: running errands like a woman with secrets, freedom, and possibly a book deal.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this glamorous prison-to-Target pipeline. ✨
