Todd Chrisley Breaks Silence After Prison Release: ‘I Still Was Convicted For Something I Didn’t Do’

Todd Chrisley maintains his innocence.

During a press conference in Nashville, the reality star addressed reporters for the first time since being pardoned by President Donald Trump. He said, “Whether you believe it or not, because I was you at some point, even though this pardon has happened, I still was convicted of something that I did not do. It could be you. It could be any of you.”

“I understand the shame that’s around it, but I refuse to feed into that because shame is like a cancer that just spreads, and I have no shame,” he added.

Todd thanked God, Trump, and former pardon recipient Alice Johnson. He also praised his daughter Savannah Chrisley, who helped secure the pardon by meeting with members of Trump’s team.

If you recall, in 2022 Todd and his wife Julie were convicted of tax evasion and defrauding banks to obtain personal loans worth more than $36 million.

Todd says he plans to work on criminal justice reform and continue filming reality TV.
