Chase Chrisley, the son of Julie and Todd Chrisley, has shared insight into his mother’s notable hair transformation following her release from prison. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Chase, 29, expressed that he had always had a feeling that his mom would revert to her iconic blonde locks upon returning home. Despite previous indications from Julie that she would not return to platinum blonde, Chase remained confident that the change was imminent.
During her time behind bars, the 52-year-old reality TV star had embraced her natural brunette hair colour, with streaks of grey interspersed. However, upon her release, it was clear to Chase that this was only a temporary phase. “I knew she wasn’t going to keep it the same,” Chase shared with PEOPLE. He also revealed a light-hearted comment made by his father, Todd, regarding Julie’s natural hair hue.
Chase had previously hinted at his desire for his mother to go back to being blonde during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where he affectionately urged her to consider it. The public confirmation of Julie’s return to her signature look came through photos of her interacting with fans after her release from prison.
Julie and Todd, 56, were granted a full pardon by President Donald Trump, leading to their release from separate prisons on May 28. This pardon came after the couple had faced legal issues, including indictment on various charges in 2019. Their return home was marked by emotional reunions with their children, with Todd being picked up by their daughter Savannah and Julie being fetched by their son Grayson.
The Chrisleys, renowned for their reality show “Chrisley Knows Best”, are now preparing for a comeback on screens with a new docuseries for Lifetime. This development was confirmed by PEOPLE in May, following the family’s tumultuous journey through the legal system. Their resilience and unity as a family have been highlighted in their public appearances since their release, including a joint interview on FOX News Channel’s My View with Lara Trump.
Reflecting on their time in prison and the unexpected turn of events that led to their release, Julie and Todd expressed gratitude towards President Trump and their faith in God. Todd humorously recounted the moment he learned about the pardon, emphasising the mix of disbelief and relief that accompanied the news. The couple’s return to normalcy has been a source of joy for the family, with Chase voicing his immense gratitude for having his parents back home.
As Julie embraces her blonde locks once again, her transformation serves as a symbolic return to familiarity and comfort for the Chrisley family. The journey of rediscovery and reunion after their legal ordeal has brought them closer together, with a renewed sense of hope and resilience for the future.
The Chrisleys’ story is a testament to the power of family support and unwavering faith during challenging times. Their upcoming docuseries will provide viewers with a glimpse into their lives post-prison, showcasing their strength and determination to overcome adversity as a united family unit.
