'I'm not going to lie. When I first saw you when I got out of that car, I started thinking about going back,' he told Julie, 52, on their 'Chrisley Confessions' podcast on Wednesday.
Todd added, 'But then I thought, let me embrace this. This is a moment.'
Julie, who has been known for her signature blonde locks, looked stunned by her husband's admission, responding, 'Are you kidding me, right now?'

Todd confessed, 'It was a rough moment because I had never seen you dark in my life.' The mom of three then reminded Todd that she didn't have much of a say behind bars.
'Well, I know that Todd, but I didn't have any choice,' she said.
'Was there a horrible picture that came out of me?' Julie inquired. 'Yes, but the way I flip that is look at me now! Now, people think I look even better because that horrible picture was out there to begin with.'
Todd didn't see it that way, exclaiming, 'I will say, you set the bar low, you had nowhere to go but up.'
Julie reprimanded her co-host, telling the patriarch, 'Now, that wasn't very nice.'
Todd doubled down, saying, 'I'm just trying to be honest. That's why we have 'Chrisley Confessions 2.0.''

At one point, Julie did receive highlights from a fellow inmate named 'Melissa' while locked up.
But when her friend got released, Julie was left using box hair coloring.
'I'll admit, I looked crazy,' she shared. 'But now, see, people think when they see me, 'Oh, my God, you look so good!' and I'm thinking, yeah, because you saw that picture of me looking crazy.'
Despite Todd's strong opinions, the pair remain a united front.
'We're 30 years in now … so five years from now, 10 years from now, whatever,' Julie explained about divorce rumors swirling. 'We're still going to be together. So guess what? I don't really care.'
The public first saw Julie sporting her blonde hair again in June while at a Target.

The star posed with two young girls for a selfie, as seen in a TikTok video, and her hair was back to the bright blonde she had before entering prison.
A second clip showed a full-length shot of Julie with the two shoppers.
Although the reality star is back to a brighter color, her son Chase Chrisley, 28, thought her darker hair was there to stay.
'My mother is an angel. She's still a beautiful woman. Her hair is darker now,' he told Entertainment Tonight on May 31. 'I'm like, 'Mama, we've got to go back platinum blonde.' And she's like, 'I'm not doing that.''
In 2019, the 'Chrisley Knows Best' stars were indicted, with federal prosecutors accusing them of submitting fake documents to banks in order to garner more than $30 million in loans.
Julie was pardoned from her seven-year sentence at FMC Lexington in Kentucky, while Todd was released from his 12-year stretch behind bars at FPC Pensacola in Florida. They each served a little over two years.

Todd and Julie, who have maintained their innocence, were not allowed to see or talk to one another since reporting for prison in January 2023.
Now, the duo couldn't be happier to be reunited.
'Oh my gosh, it has been amazing. It's still just kind of … it doesn't feel real,' their daughter Savannah Chrisley, 27, told People after her parents first night home.
'We were going to bed last night. We're like, 'Is this real?' And then, I wake up this morning and my mom's walking into my bedroom and I'm like, it's absolutely insane!' she gushed. 'We are just so grateful and ready to kind of start getting back to normal life, obviously, the best we can. Everything's a whirlwind right now, and it's kind hard to live a normal life with how things are right now, but we'll get there.'

Black Sabbath bassist reflects on rehearsing with 'frail' Ozzy Osbourne for farewell show
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler is sharing emotional reflections on the last time he ever saw his bandmate Ozzy Osbourne. In an essay for The Sunday Times published on Sunday, July 27, Butler paid tribute to the rock icon and wrote about performing with him for the last time during Black Sabbath's farewell show on July 5. Weeks after the performance, Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76. "Nobody knew he'd be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show," Butler wrote. "But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans. The love from the fans and all the bands, musicians, singers and solo artists that night was incredible. Everyone had come to pay homage to the Prince. I am so privileged to have spent most of my life with him." Butler, who founded Black Sabbath with Osbourne in 1968, said rehearsals for the farewell show started about a month prior, and he was taken aback when he saw Osbourne struggling with health issues. Surprise! Johnny Depp joins Alice Cooper for Ozzy Osbourne tribute "I knew he wasn't in good health, but I wasn't prepared to see how frail he was," he wrote. "He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane — being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones. He didn't really say much beyond the usual greetings and when he sang, he sat in a chair." Rock star Ozzy Osbourne dies at 76, weeks after final Black Sabbath show Butler said Osbourne seemed exhausted after they played six or seven songs during rehearsal, and although they "had a bit of a chat," he "was really quiet compared with the Ozzy of old." The musician shared that he wishes he "had more time backstage with Ozzy" at their final show. "I didn't realize then that I would never see Ozzy again after that night," he wrote. Butler also remembered his former bandmate as a "born entertainer" who "had a heart of pure gold." Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi previously paid tribute to Osbourne on Instagram, writing that "there won't ever be another like him." Drummer Bill Ward also wrote in his own tribute, "Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you're forever in my heart."

Ana De Armas Likes Instagram Post About Nicole Kidman
Ana De Armas has people talking after she was seen liking a shady Instagram post about Nicole Kidman. This week, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Ana had liked an Instagram post questioning whether Nicole got plastic surgery. The post, made in February on the Instagram account @celebmess, included what the account holder says is a 1996 photo of Nicole alongside a more recent picture of her. Also attached were screenshots from a 2007 interview where Nicole was asked about persistent stories surrounding her appearance. The piece noted that Nicole had sparked "persistent buzz over whether [she] is overly Botoxed" following her appearance at the 2006 Oscars. In the profile, Nicole denied getting any work done. "To be honest, I am completely natural," she said. "I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke." She added, "I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that." Nicole's response was included in the Instagram post — right next to a doubtful meme that said, "Sure, Jan." "When you keep it real," read the caption of the post, which also hashtagged Nicole's name and included the song "Denying" by the Spice Girls. You can see Ana's Instagram account, here, among the likes. It's still there, as of publication. Needless to say, people thought it was super shady. One Reddit user wrote, "what a sick burn 🙄." Another said, "Ugh. Shaming people like this is so weird." "De Armas is wow, so horrid for this petty crap," a third fan shared, as someone else said it gave "mean girl vibes." "I see some people still haven't graduated from that high school mentality. How embarrassing at her big age of 37," a fifth user complained. Others pointed out that the pictures of Nicole also appeared to be heavily edited. "They had to edit Nicole Kidman to even give the illusion she could have aged badly," one user said, as another stated, "Whatever, Nicole always has been and still is so beautiful to me." Ana has yet to address the situation, but it comes as she and Tom Cruise continue to face dating rumors following multiple appearances together since February. In a May interview on Good Morning America, Ana addressed their relationship and insisted it was purely a "working" one. "It's so much fun," she said. A source also told People that she and Tom are "just friends." Nicole was married to Tom from 1990 to 2001 and shares two children with him: Isabella, 32, and Connor Cruise, 30. BuzzFeed has contacted reps for Ana for comment — we'll let you know if we hear back.

‘Relentless' scammers are trying to rip off people by asking to use their pictures for fake ‘art project' — here's how
It's the art of the steal. The internet is flooded with inventive schemes, from AI-fueled romance scams to cybercriminals who pose as kidnapped loved ones to receive 'ransom' payments. Now, a woman is warning of a sneaky 'new scam' in which bad actors masquerade as artists so they can hijack people's personal information. 'Heads up guys, be careful,' warned TikTok user Jen — who goes by @jend961 — of the digital Trojan Horse. Advertisement She explained that she'd received a message from 'some girl' who asked if she could use one of the TikTok user's pictures for an 'art project' she was working on. 3 'She says, 'All I need from you is your full name and your email so my client can send over an e-check,'' Jen recalled. TikTok/jend961 Suspicious, Jen went to the sender's page to make sure the sender wasn't a scam artist. The profile surprisingly had 'tons of paintings and drawings,' which initially put her mind at ease. Advertisement 'I thought 'ok, maybe it is legit,'' recalled the recipient. 'So I wrote her back and I asked her what picture she was interested in. And she said my profile picture, and I said, 'Ok, that should be fine.'' Jen reportedly became further intrigued after the sender promised her a copy of the finished project, as well as a commission, per the clip. 3 Commenters also claimed they'd been targeted by the same scam. ARAMYAN – However, Jen realized something was awry when the woman requested some personal details. 'She says 'all I need from you is your full name and your email so my client can send over an e-check,'' she recalled. Advertisement Despite not asking for her bank info, Jen said she knew it was 'phishy,' and accused the woman of trying to pull the wool over her eyes. Her suspicions appeared to be confirmed when she checked the fraudster's profile again and saw that it had vanished. This wasn't an isolated incident, either. 'Today I got two more messages from different people asking the same thing,' Jen said. Advertisement The PSA created a stir among the TikTok commenters, who also claimed they'd been targeted by these wolves in artists' clothing. 'Same thing happened to me,' declared one viewer, while another wrote, 'I went through the exact same thing. These ppl are relentless.' 3 The sender claimed they needed Jen's profile pic for an art project they were working on. Siphosethu Fanti/ – 'Same thing happened to me, and they sent me a copy of a check for my photo,' said a third. 'I took the check to the bank and had them check the check, and it was fraudulent. I immediately reported it.' The Federal Trade Commission warns that fake check scams are exceedingly common. The way it works is that fraudsters will message the mark promising them a work-from-home job, commission on a project like in the aforementioned scheme, or the cash prize from a sweepstakes they just 'won.' But when they send the dupe a check, they'll include 'more than the amount owed to you and instruct you to wire the excess funds back to them before receiving your lump sum payment,' per the FTC. Advertisement It's only after the person sends the money that they discover that the check is bogus. Plus, now the scammer has the recipient's info and can use it for future fraud. The FTC advised people to report these ploys to the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker. Advertisement This is one of many inventive online scams being used to hoodwink unsuspecting people. In May, Long Island police warned that scammers are swindling elderly people out of millions of dollars by using AI to find their grandchildren's voices on TikTok and then utilizing the sound bytes to make phony phone calls designed to trick the seniors into sending them money.
