Savannah Chrisley Talks About Her Dad Being ‘Unrecognizable’
It has been a little over a year since Todd and Julie Chrisley started their prison sentences. The couple was convicted of federal tax evasion and fraud charges in June 2022. They were ordered to report for their prison sentences in January 2023. Todd and Julie reportedly submitted false documents to secure more than $30 million in loans.
The Chrisley Knows Best patriarch was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison, but his sentence has been reduced to 10 years. His wife, Julie, was sentenced to 7 years, but she is now only serving 6.

Savannah Chrisley has been holding down the household since they’ve been gone. In a recent episode of her podcast, she opened up about how hard it has been to go visit her parents. At first, she traveled to visit them every single weekend. As time has gone on, visits have become less frequent because there is a lot of emotional stress that comes along with it. On top of that, Savannah has businesses that she runs and is taking care of children.
The Unlocked podcast host has also said that it’s hard to see her parents behind bars. In fact, she has said that Todd Chrisley is unrecognizable. Without his regular Botox injections and bleach for his hair, her father is now sporting gray hair and wrinkles. He undoubtedly looks closer to his age, but it’s a shock for Savannah, who has seen her dad in the spotlight her entire life.
Will Fans Get A Glimpse At Todd & Julie Chrisley On Trial?
Since Savannah Chrisley opened up about her dad’s new look behind bars, fans have been eager to catch a glimpse of the former reality TV star. More specifically, they are wondering if they will get to watch the fraud trial play out on television.
One person posed the question regarding the trial being televised on Reddit. “Anyone know how Court TV selects the cases they show throughout the day?” the Reddit user asked. “Need to make sure they have this circus on their radar.” They suggested it should play out on April 15, Tax Day.

Another Chrisley fan pointed out that Todd and Julie Chrisley’s attorneys would likely fight “tooth and nail” to keep the trial off television. While that is likely true, that doesn’t mean there won’t be other ways to watch the trial.
A Reddit user pointed out that there will be a number of YouTubers that will likely stream the trial. “Will be nice to see and hear from T&J and the Courts and not just hearsay,” they wrote. However, it is not likely that the trial will be available on television. As it was pointed out, Todd and Julie’s lawyers wouldn’t allow something like that to happen. It is bad publicity for their client and could potentially hurt future appeals. For now, fans will just have to imagine what Todd Chrisley looks like with gray hair and no Botox injections.
