The 1 Thing That Drove Todd Chrisley in Prison Might Surprise You
Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisleyis free now after serving 28 months in prison. Since receiving a pardon from President Donald Trump, thanks to his daughter Savannah Chrisley’s efforts, the family patriarch has been sharing stories about his time behind bars.
During a July 1 appearance on Savannah’s podcast, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, Todd revealed what he determined was his “sole intent” to accomplish while he was serving his sentence.
He described the prison where he served as a “Busted, broke little summer camp.” Chrisley admitted that it was a much easier facility to be at than where his wife, Julie Chrisley, served her time.
Despite the relative ease of getting through his sentence, Chrisley admitted he frequently “told staff off.” He made it clear there was no love lost in terms of how he regarded the prison staff.
“I was surrounded by miserable human beings,” Chrisley declared.
He shared, “And every day I got up, and it was my sole intent to make their life even more miserable because they were there to make our lives miserable.”
Chrisley also noted his astonishment that other prisoners would “buddy up to the staff.” He admitted he would question them on why they thought the staff were “friends,” explaining that in his mind, “It is us against them.”
As Chrisley Knows Best fans reacted to the episode on YouTube, many noted they would love to see Julie return for a solo episode. Others praised Todd for his sass.
One fan gushed, “I love how sassy Todd still is!!! I feel like he’s even more sassy! And I’m here for it!!”
“I love this family and am so happy they are free. I can’t wait to see them back on television, again,” shared another fan.
“I could listen to Todd’s stories all day with his comedian energy. So glad this family is back together and May God heal them quickly, especially Julie,” someone else noted.
“Let’s hear more from Julie. Todd has always got to be the center of attention. Poor Julie. I do like Todd, I just want to hear more from Julie,” one fan commented.
Comments across social media from a broader audience tended to be more critical of Todd’s podcast revelations.
One Instagram user suggested, “He needs to keep his big mouth shut. He got out. He still should be in there. He hasn’t learn[ed] anything.”
“Imagine the audacity of being a criminal and making WORKERS miserable,” another critic tweeted.
“Why make their life miserable? You are the one who committed the crime,” someone else tweeted.
