(NewsNation) — Todd Chrisley has shared his first post on social media since the release of him and his wife, Julie Chrisley.
Chrisley posted Tuesday on Instagram about his son, Grayson Chrisley, making the Dean's list at the University of Alabama for the spring semester.
'God is good all the time. I love you to the moon and back and we couldn't be more proud,' Chrisley wrote about his 19-year-old son. 'You have shown great character and fortitude and stood with your lord and savior amidst the fire and came out the other side never smelling of smoke, you are proof of Gods word.'
Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley were pardoned by President Trump just a few weeks ago. Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, has been fighting for her parents' release since they were convicted of conspiring to defraud banks in the Atlanta area out of over $30 million in loans.
Chrisley was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison but later had his sentence reduced to 10 years. His wife was originally sentenced to seven years in a Kentucky prison before her sentence was shortened by 14 months before the pardons.
It was recently reported that an untitled Chrisley project is in the works at Lifetime. The new show is supposedly going to focus on the family's challenge of carrying on the Chrisley legacy and name without their parents.
'The multigenerational family will also be exposing the raw truth of their lives — past and present — and the reality is far different from what audiences have seen before,' the network reportedly said.
Trump told Savannah Chrisley in a phone call that he was granting full pardons to her parents. Chrisley has been a vocal Trump supporter, endorsing him in a speech at the Republican National Convention in 2024.
The Chrisley family originally skyrocketed to fame in 2013 with their hit series, 'Chrisley Knows Best,' on the USA Network. The new series is scheduled for release later this year.
Before the couple was pardoned, NewsNation's Brian Entin had talked exclusively to Todd Chrisley twice. In December, he expressed his concerns about the conditions at the facility where he was residing. He said he and other inmates had to deal with filthy conditions.
The reality star had also claimed that prosecutors and the prison staff had it out for him.
'The prosecutor said that we were the southern version of the Trumps,' he told Entin at the time.
