From Prison to Platinum: Julie Chrisley's Hair Transformation After Pardon

Todd and Julie Chrisley's son Chase says he knew what massive transformation his mother would go under after her pardon from US President Donald Trump and release from prison; the trio are seen in 2020

Reality TV Royalty's Shocking Return: Todd and Julie Chrisley's Breathtaking Comeback

It was a day of jubilation for the Chrisley family as reality TV royalty, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were finally set free from federal prison after receiving a presidential pardon from none other than Donald Trump. And in true Chrisley style, their release was a dramatic affair that had everyone talking.

But while the rest of the family was over the moon with excitement, there was one member who was noticeably MIA - Todd and Julie's son Chase, 29. The usually effervescent reality TV star has been keeping a low profile lately, and it seems his parents' pardon wasn't enough to bring him out of hiding.

Julie became unrecognizable during her time in prison as it went back to her natural brunette color with big parts of it turning grey; she is seen shortly after her prison release in Nashville

In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Chase revealed that he knew his mom would be returning to her signature platinum blonde locks as soon as she was free from prison. "I knew she wasn't going to keep it the same," he said, laughing about his mom's hair transformation. And it seems Todd Chrisley has a sense of humor too - when he first saw Julie's new look, he joked that this would be the first time in his life he'd ever been with a brunette!

But amidst all the family fun and games, there was one person who was particularly emotional about the whole ordeal - Savannah Chrisley, 27. The reality TV star had been advocating for her parents' pardon for years, and when she finally got the call from Trump himself, she was overwhelmed with emotion. "I started busting out crying," Julie said in an interview with Fox News, adding that everyone around her thought she'd lost it.

In a shocking contrast to his wife's waterworks, Todd Chrisley took a more stoic approach to the news of their pardon. When a corrections officer approached him to ask if he was "good" after hearing about the pardon, Todd simply replied, "As good as I can be." And when asked what he thought about God intervening in their case, Todd added, "I'm grateful, because every night I would pray that God would return me home to my wife and my children."

The 29-year-old television star  revealed that he knew that his 52-year-old mom would go back to dyeing her hair back to platinum blonde

But despite the family's joyous reunion, there was a sense of unease hanging over Chase Chrisley. The reality TV star has been keeping a low profile lately, and it seems his parents' pardon hasn't exactly brought him out of hiding. In fact, Chase has been in some trouble with the law himself - earlier this year, he was arrested after allegedly getting into a bar fight in Atlanta.

In an interview with ET last month, Chase revealed that he'd encouraged his mom to bleach her hair back to platinum blonde as soon as she was free from prison. "I'm like, 'Mama, we gotta go back platinum blonde,'" he said, laughing about their signature look. But it seems Chase has been a bit more laid-back about the whole ordeal - when asked why he wasn't at his parents' side after they were released from prison, Chase simply shrugged and said, "I'm good."

The Chrisley family's dramatic return to reality TV is set to be showcased in an upcoming new season of their show. And with production already underway, fans can expect a wild ride full of drama, romance, and possibly even some more hair transformations.

In the meantime, it seems Todd and Julie Chrisley are making the most of their newfound freedom. The couple has been spotted out and about, enjoying quality time with their family and taking in all the sights and sounds of the outside world. And judging by their social media posts, they're loving every minute of it!

But as for Chase Chrisley - well, only time will tell if he'll be joining his parents on their reality TV comeback. For now, it seems he's content to keep a low profile and enjoy the spotlight from afar.

The Drama Behind The Scenes

It's no secret that the Chrisley family has had its fair share of drama over the years. And with the recent news of Todd and Julie's pardon, fans are buzzing with excitement about what's next for the reality TV royalty.

But behind all the glamour and glitz of their new show, there are whispers of tension within the family. Lindsie Chrisley, 35, has been estranged from her parents for some time now, while Kyle Chrisley, 33, has also had his differences with Todd.

And then there's Chase - whose recent run-in with the law has left fans wondering if he'll be joining his parents on their reality TV comeback. With his history of partying and drama, it seems Chase might have a hard time keeping up with his family's glamorous lifestyle.

But as always, the Chrisleys are full of surprises. And with production underway for their new show, fans can expect more drama, romance, and possibly even some more hair transformations!

The New Reality TV Season

With Todd and Julie Chrisley back on our screens, it seems like a brand-new season of reality TV is just around the corner. And judging by their social media posts, they're loving every minute of it!

But what can fans expect from this new season? Will we see more drama between Chase and his parents? Will Lindsie finally make an appearance on the show after her estrangement? And will Todd and Julie be able to keep up with their glamorous lifestyle?

Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - with the Chrisleys back in town, reality TV just got a whole lot more interesting!
