The TRUTH behind Julie Chrisley’s dramatic prison release transformation
Reality star Julie Chrisley is already turning heads with her new look just weeks after she was released from prison – and beauty experts are weighing in to share exactly what she has had done since coming home.
Spoiler alert – it looks like she may have already hit the Botox clinic.
On May 27, Julie and husband Todd received the news of a lifetime as President Donald Trump announced that he would be fully pardoning the both of them as they were serving time for tax evasion and bank fraud.
Julie was originally sentenced to seven years, while her husband received a 12-year sentence. However, last year, her sentence was reduced by 14 months.
The reality star couple was found guilty in July 2022 of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans.
The Chrisleys were also found guilty of tax evasion by hiding their earnings while showcasing an extravagant lifestyle.
Todd, 56, was held at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida, while Julie, 52, was at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
When Julie finally emerged from prison recently, she was spotted sporting brown and gray locks, which was a huge change from her usual coiffed blonde ‘do.
It appears that she was unable to keep her blonde color while she was in prison, as it completely grew out.
Later, her son revealed she did not want to go back to blonde following her pardon – but it appears the Chrisley Knows Best star has had a change of heart since then.
Over the weekend, Julie was spotted in her local Tennessee Target store with a dramatic, brand-new look as she posed for selfies with two fans, who later posted the images to TikTok.
Her shoulder-length hair was a bright blonde, featuring delicate highlights and a cool undertone, looking perfectly blown-out.
Julie showed off her glowing complexion with a touch of makeup, wearing bronze eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and sporting clear gloss.
She opted for a chic blue blouse, light bell-bottom jeans, and completed the look with a pair of brown sandals.
It was a drastic change from her immediate post-prison appearance, and now, a cosmetic injector is weighing in to FEMAIL about exactly what the star has had done since she is no longer being behind bars.
According to triple-board certified Cosmetic Surgeon and Founder of The Surgeonista, Dr. Gina Maccarone, it appears that Julie’s hair wasn’t the only thing she changed up.
‘It appears she may have had some dermal fillers in the temples, cheeks, under-eye area, and around the mouth, along with what looks like a Botox brow lift,’ Dr. Maccarone told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘Julie’s face looks fuller and less hollow, with fewer creases in the areas I mentioned — more plump overall!’ Dr. Maccarone continued about the star’s new appearance.
‘Her brows also appear more lifted compared to the before photo, which could be the result of a subtle Botox lift.’
Thankfully, for those fans who want to see more of the family, they will be returning to reality TV in a new series on Lifetime, according to People.
The show was supposed to chronicle the family’s life as they dealt with their parents being incarcerated, but things might take a turn now that they’ve been released.
Since arriving home from prison, it seems like the family has been enjoying their time together, something their daughter, Savannah, has spoken about on her podcast.
She revealed that she made her parents a hearty, homecooked meal for their first night back.
‘I made steaks, pastas, salads, potatoes — we had a smorgasbord,’ the 27-year-old ‘MAGA Barbie’ revealed on her PodcastOne show Unlocked Tuesday (pre-taped Friday).
‘My parents enjoyed it and loved it.’
Savannah gushed: ‘I’m over-the-moon excited about all of it. It’s so surreal. At times, it does not feel real. I’m like, “Are we sure this is over and done, and we came back to normal life?”‘
