Julie Chrisley Breaks Silence on Her Health After Prison Release

Julie Chrisley, the matriarch of the reality TV series Chrisley Knows Best, has spoken out for the first time about her health following her release from federal prison. After serving over two years for convictions related to bank fraud and tax evasion, Julie was granted a full presidential pardon by former President Donald Trump on May 27, 2025 .

In an exclusive interview with Southern Living, Julie, 52, shared insights into her physical and emotional well-being post-incarceration. “Prison was a challenging experience,” she admitted. “But it also gave me time to reflect and prioritize my health and family.”

Julie revealed that during her time at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, she underwent regular health check-ups. “The medical staff was attentive, and I made it a point to stay on top of my health,” she noted. “I even started a daily walking routine in the yard, which helped me both physically and mentally.”

Upon her release, Julie was spotted in Nashville, Tennessee, sporting a new look—her natural gray hair replacing her signature blonde locks. “Embracing my natural hair felt liberating,” she said. “It’s a reflection of the new chapter I’m entering.”

Her attorney, Alex Little, confirmed that Julie is focusing on family and adjusting to life outside prison. “She’s doing well and is committed to rebuilding her life,” Little stated.

Julie also addressed rumors about potential health issues, clarifying that she is in good health. “I’ve had regular check-ups, and everything is fine,” she assured. “I’m grateful for the support and looking forward to the future.”

As the Chrisley family reunites and moves forward, Julie’s resilience and focus on well-being serve as a testament to her strength and determination.
