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.
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
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.'
Daily Mail reached out to Julie Chrisley's reps for comment.
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.'

Can these five viral TikTok fashion gadgets REALLY solve every wardrobe crisis from fabric shaver to stretch belt?
TIKTOK is a goldmine for hacks - and right now, it's overflowing with gadgets that claim to solve every wardrobe crisis. As a fashion assistant, I'm no stranger to quick-fixes. I've always got a safety pin and double-sided tape in my bag - ready to rescue a hem, a neckline, or a stubborn zip. 11 With over a million videos under #fashionhacks, my feed is full of weird and wonderful gizmos promising to make fashion mishaps a thing of the past. But are any of them actually worth your money? Here, I put them to the test to see which really work. Mini Stitch Gun, £15.99, Amazon Being petite myself with a fuller bust, finding clothes that fit just right can be a challenge. The Mini Stitch gun first caught my attention on TikTok, where fans of the product hailed it as the 'ultimate fashion hack'. One video of the gun had over 41.5k views. It works by inserting a small, removable plastic stitch to hold fabric in place, perfect for closing button gaps, hiding bra straps, or temporarily hemming jeans. I was impressed by how quick and easy this is to use. This particular kit included helpful step by step picture instructions, five needle replacements and lots of extra fastenings plus a handy travel case. There's no need to apply a lot of pressure, you simply squeeze the trigger and the stitch is in. The stitch is made of plastic so it feels secure and holds all day. Although it was visible close up, it didn't show in photos. Nobody mentioned to me they could see it. This is a game changer for my wardrobe. Rating: 8/10 Impressed customers film themselves using the Philips GCO26 Fabric Shaver which has racked up over 1,000 five-star Amazon reviews Fabric Shaver, £9.99, Phillips 11 11 Electric fabric shavers had a big moment a few years ago, and the buzz is back… pun intended. They became popular during Covid-19 as people took more of an interest in extending the lifespan of their clothes. I've only ever tried a super cheap one from the Poundshop, so I decided to give the more pricey £9.99 Phillips version a try. This one in particular was described as 'magic' by one user on TikTok, with another calling it a 'game changer'. One video recommending the model in question has also racked up over 50.3k views. It comes with picture instructions and 2 AA batteries. The cover for inserting batteries slides off without much effort but does stay put during use. Quite a few Tiktok users commented that it's important to remove the plastic cap, with some forgetting to do so and not finding it as effective. But once it's off, it's easy to use. Simply flick the on switch and gently glide the shaver over any bobbles to remove them. It's really effective and better than anything I've used before. Gone are the days of washing a jumper once and being ruined by dreaded bobbles, plus it works on sofas and soft furnishings too. Rating: 10/10 Reusable Plush Roller, £5.99 (for 2), Amazon 11 In theory, this sticky roller is a brilliant idea, eliminating the need for disposable lint sheets. These ones were £5.99 for two on Amazon but I've seen them for as little as £1 each on Tiktok shop. Sadly the low price is reflected in the product quality. The plastic case broke almost immediately after I took them out of the packaging. That said, it does still do the job. Simply roll the sticky pad over your clothes and it picks up any unwanted dust, fluff and hair really easily. The adhesive pad is super sticky so it really clings to everything. To clear it, you just rinse the pad under water. You are supposed to remove it from the case, but I struggled to do this in fear of breaking it as it's so flimsy. The biggest problem I found was drying it. You can't use a towel or cloth as it's so sticky that it just gathers more dust. While it comes with its frustrations, I do think it's worth having. With a little product development, it could be a useful tool to have around the house. Rating: 5/10 No Sew Jean Button, from £2.50 for 2, Amazon 11 11 Oversized jeans have been the must have style for a few seasons, and as much as I love the relaxed look, I still want my jeans to fit properly around my waist. I always fall between sizes so shopping for the perfect pair is a real struggle. Thankfully, I (or rather TikTok) has found the perfect solution with these genius removable no-sew buttons. They come screwed together, and whilst it takes a little force to pull both pieces apart (especially with nails - and mine aren't exactly long), that does mean they won't budge once screwed in place. To use, you push the pin through where you want the new button to go, snap the backing piece in from the back to create a new button and a tighter waistband. Plus, they're reusable, so if your size does fluctuate, like mine, you can easily move them without damaging your jeans. They come in gold and silver and there are many designs to choose from. Although slightly fiddly, once you get the hang of it, they're such a smart, budget friendly alternative to buying new jeans. Elastic Stretch Belt, £8.95 for 2, Amazon 11 TikTokers deem this elastic belt to be the best solution for achieving the 'perfect tuck'. If you struggle with tucking and cropping your T-shirts and jumpers, or even if you have a top that's too long and, when tucked in, creates an unflattering bulky look around your waist, this product is designed to eliminate the problem. The adjustable band fixes around your waist, allowing you to securely tuck your top into it. The clasp is easy to use and the two pack includes a black and a white version, which is a plus, as they will work with any outfit. I was skeptical about this one, and personally I don't think it's worth nearly £9. Sure, it helps create a clean tuck, but the elastic was very uncomfortable around my waist after a few hours of wear. I think a regular belt could do the job just as well and would probably look nicer too. VERDICT Not every TikTok gadget lived up to the hype, but a few stood out as genuinely smart solutions. I'll definitely be adding a couple of them to my styling kit, as well as my own personal wardrobe. Some of these affordable devices have proven to make a real difference, especially to those who favour convenience without compromising on style. I was especially impressed with the pricing of the products too. These are all budget-friendly alternatives to visiting a tailor or buying brand new products. So if you're navigating fluctuating sizes or want to refresh your favourite jumpers, these trending tools actually prove that most of the time, TikTok hacks do deliver.

Love Island beauty reveals terrifying ordeal after she's followed by man and forced to flee screaming
LOVE Island star Patsy Field has revealed a terrifying ordeal in which she was forced to flee in terror after being followed by a man near her home. The star, who rose to fame on last summer's edition of the ITV2 dating series, took to TikTok to reveal the worrying encounter in which she actively described how she was pursued by a man who appeared to be following her. 4 Love Islander Patsy Field has shared his distressing experience of being followed by a man Credit: TikTok / @patsyfield 4 The TV star was forced to flee in terror after her safety was compromised Credit: Rex Patsy told her followers that she had decided to head out for a walk in her local area in Bromley shortly after 8pm at night in order to walk off being "full of steak" after a plush family meal at Miller and Carter. She told how her mum had discouraged her from walking late at night but Patsy insisted she was fine as she had never had problems in her area being out on her own but did confess to her fans that where she lives gets a "bad rep". Patsy continued in the clip as she said: "I'd got an outfit on which could be a bit revealing but like I said, I'd never had any issues before. "I've always felt safe where I'm from." Detailing how she then went for the walk, she realised that ten minutes in there was a man walking close by. Although she did not interact with him, Patsy told her followers that she decided to cross the road to be safe after being left concerned by how close the man was to her. She then said: "I give it a couple of steps on the other side of the road and I thought, I'll just check and I turn around and he's crossed the road." Although this unsettled Patsy, she once again tried to give the benefit of the doubt by explaining that the man could have also crossed due to the parked cars at the side of the road. In order to be sure, Patsy then told how she crossed back over the road once more and to her utter disbelief, the man once again followed suit. Confessing she went into a panic, she decided to stand still and look at her phone, causing the man to pass her and walk ahead. 'It was years in the making' admits Love Island's Patsy Field as she breaks silence after Joey Essex revealed he WAS a producer plant However, things took a more sinister turn when the man in question eventually turned back around and walked back along the path in Patsy's direction. Patsy said: "He starts walking back towards me and I'm like what the f*** is going on." Revealing she was still stood in the same place, she felt unnerved when the man made clear eye contact with her. Fearing what could happen next, a panicked Patsy revealed she began to scream out loud and run in the opposite direction. She also began to phone her mum who was able to come and collect her as she was close-by to the family home. In a heartbreaking admission, the reality star said: "Now I'm scared to walk around my own area which is a shame as I've never had an issue before." Patsy first became known for her stint on Love Island last year. She had an early exit in the series but returned for one of the show's final episodes to be a part of the programme's savage dumping - determined by the ex-Islanders. 4 She shared a TikTok video about her experiences Credit: TikTok / @patsyfield

UK spot that's 'just like Venice' boasts beautiful grounds and gondola rides
This beautiful underrated spot in one UK city has not even been discovered by many locals - and you can explore it on a gondola ride while admiring the amazing views With summer upon us, many are plotting getaways and outdoor escapades to make the most of the sunny season - but jetting off can hit the wallet hard. Fortunately, Britain is brimming with fabulous staycation destinations that promise unique adventures and days out without the hefty price tag. One such gem in Coventry is drawing comparisons to Venice, complete with stunning views, serene waters, and even gondola rides. Coombe Abbey, a grand 12th-century abbey turned four-star hotel, sits amidst 500 acres of breathtaking grounds. Just a stone's throw from Coventry city centre, this historic haven offers a slice of tranquillity and grandeur. And if splurging on a hotel stay isn't in the cards, you can still soak up the scenery for just £15 a head. A TikTok video showcasing the idyllic setting has gone viral after content creator Katy Victoria indulged in a £40 punting package for two, which included a refreshing glass of prosecco each, along the tranquil Coombe Pool. Katy hailed the lake as "Coventry's hidden gem" and described the punting experience, courtesy of Abbey Punks UK, as supremely romantic. "I couldn't stop smiling all night," she shared on her TikTok post. Katy and her partner, both locals, were astonished they'd never come across this enchanting activity before. She expressed her surprise on social media: "We felt like we was in a movie! I honestly feel like more people need to know about this as for us it's right on our door step and we knew nothing about it until a friend shared it on Instagram. "I cannot express enough how amazing it truly was and I promise you will not be disappointed," she enthused. The Abbey Punting Experience offers a serene 35-minute journey around Coombe Abbey's moat, with room for up to six passengers. Kids can enjoy the ride at no cost, while adult fares kick off at £30 for a duo. The voyage lasts around 35 minutes. Abbey Punts describes the experience as "the perfect way to encapsulate the wonder of the park's wildlife, the intriguing history of Coombe and the Medieval Abbey, from its historic moat to the Gate House,". They even offer punting hats for those who fancy a bit of dress-up. Katy shared: "Whether you want to book a proposal, a date night or just show up after a day at the park he's very flexible with times. The majority of the time a booking isn't required so just go to the reception of the hotel and you will find a sign for Abbey Punts to the right of you. Or you can find his WhatsApp on his website which is what I did because I wanted to make sure we reserved the sunset slot." Summing up her experience, Katy said: "We honestly didn't know what to expect at first but hands down one of the most unique experiences I've ever had, we're definitely going back." Surprised locals have been reacting to Katy's video with one commenting: "Wait what! I'm from Coventry? This is a thing? Since when?". Another local chimed in: "Hold the phone, I'm from Cov and didn't know about this, since when?". Another person added: "I had no idea you could do this at Coombe! Literally 20 mins from us, definitely on my list now!". Another individual shared a cherished memory, commenting: "We had one of the first weddings he did (it's our anniversary tomorrow) and it was so special for our guests to use in the evening, they loved it!". Another person reminisced: "Wow we stayed here a few years ago- I want to go back and do this now!". How to get there If you are travelling from Coventry centre it is around a 15-minute drive to Coombe Abbey. If you are from out of town, you can drive or get a train to Coventry train station. A swift train journey from London Euston via Avanti West Coast to Coventry takes roughly 55 minutes. Direct trains to Coventry are also available from Manchester Piccadilly and Birmingham New Street.
