Todd and Julie Chrisley released from prison. ‘Real Housewives,' ‘Basketball Wives' stars serving time
For some reality stars, life was not at all like a TV show when they found themselves in legal trouble. From "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" Jen Shah's involvement in a telemarketing scheme, to "Chrisley Knows Best" stars sentenced for tax evasion and bank fraud, TV personalities have gone from TV screens to behind bars. In at least one case, the plea for their release has reached the highest office in the land − with significant results: Savannah Chrisley, daughter of embattled reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, appealed to President Donald Trump for their pardon. On May 27, 2025, the Chrisleys received their wish. Todd and Julie Chrisley were released from prison May 28, 2025. In another case, a reality star convicted of fraud charges will be released from prison a little early − right around the 2025 holiday season, though the original release date was for two years later. Here's a list of reality stars who are serving time in prison, the crimes in which they were convicted and when they will presumably be released. From prison to pardon: Todd and Julie Chrisley, TV stars in prison for tax evasion, get pardoned by Trump President Donald Trump said he plans to pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley of "Chrisley Knows Best" fame, who were convicted for tax evasion and fraud. "It's a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean," Trump told the couple's daughter, reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, on May 27, 2025. The Chrisleys, who were depicted on their USA Network show as real estate tycoons in the South, were found guilty in June 2022 of conspiring to defraud community banks in Atlanta out of more than $36 million in fraudulent loans, defraud the IRS and commit tax evasion. Julie Chrisley was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley received a seven-year sentence. Their show ended when they began their respective sentences in January 2023. Savannah Chrisley, 27, who has been advocating for her parents' release in interviews, on her podcast and even onstage at the 2024 Republican National Convention, said she was "freaking out" in a video posted to Instagram. Julie Chrisley, 52, served her prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. She had a release date of Jan. 8, 2028, according to a Bureau of Prisons record check. Her husband Todd Chrisley served time at FPC Pensacola, described on its site as a "minimum security federal prison camp." Before the Trump pardon, his release would have been April 7, 2032, more than two years earlier than his original 12-year sentence, according to a Bureau of Prisons record check. From Netflix to prison. 'Cheer' star Jerry Harris sentenced to 12 years for sex crimes On Oct. 24, 2023, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey sentenced former "Basketball Wives" star Brittish Cierrah Williams to four years in prison for committing $564,000 worth of frauds, including tax frauds, bank fraud, insurance fraud and three separate pandemic fraud schemes, according to a release from the US Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Missouri. In May 2023, Williams, then 33 and a radio personality in St. Louis, pleaded guilty to 15 felonies. Williams also will be on supervised release for five years after serving time, and Autrey ordered her to pay $564,069 in restitution. The 35-year-old former "Basketball Wives" star is an inmate of FCI Waseca, "a low security federal correctional institution" in Minnesota, with a release date of Dec. 24, 2025, or Christmas Eve, according to a May 29, 2025, BOP records check. That's nearly two years earlier than had been listed by federal officials in 2024. Josh Duggar rose to fame in TLC's hit show "19 Kids and Counting." In May 2022, the eldest child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar was sentenced to 12 years in prison for downloading and possessing child pornography. A father of seven himself, Josh Duggar was found guilty in December 2021. According to a USA TODAY story, federal authorities said they began investigating the reality TV star after a Little Rock, Arkansas, police detective found child porn files were being shared by a computer traced to Duggar. A federal agent testified that images depicting the sexual abuse of children, including toddlers, were downloaded in 2019 onto a computer at a car dealership Duggar owned. "19 Kids and Counting" chronicled the lives of the Duggars. The series was canceled in 2015 following revelations that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a babysitter when he was a young teen. At that time, he admitted to a porn addiction and cheating on his wife, and apologized. The series inspired a TLC spinoff, "Counting On," from the perspective of Josh Duggar's sisters and their young families, but that show was canceled in June 2021 following Josh Duggar's arrest. A May 29, 2025, Bureau of Prisons check online shows Josh Duggar, 37, will be released Oct. 2, 2032. He is imprisoned at FCI Seagoville in Texas. In 2020, Jerry Harris gained fame for the Netflix docuseries "Cheer." That same year, the competitive cheerleading coach was featured on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and attended Vanity Fair's Oscar party. In September 2020, authorities charged Harris with producing child pornography. According to USA TODAY, federal court records show Harris admitted he solicited and received explicit messages on Snapchat from at least 10 to 15 individuals he knew were minors; had sex with a 15-year-old boy at a cheerleading competition in 2019; and paid a 17-year-old money in exchange for nude photos. Season two of the hit Netflix show addressed Harris' downfall. Harris pleaded guilty in February 2022. In July 2022, Harris was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for soliciting sex from minors and pressuring young boys to send him nude photos and videos. Like "Chrisley Knows Best" star Julie Chrisley, Jerry Harris reported to FMC Lexington in Lexington, Kentucky, for his prison sentence. A May 29, 2025, record check shows the 25-year-old Jeremiah Harris has a release date of Jan. 18, 2031. Downfall of a Netflix star. How one season of 'Cheer' addressed child pornography charges against Jerry Harris In January 2024, Jen Shah, one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" on Bravo, was sentenced to 6½ years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing. Judge Sidney H. Stein ruled the Bravo celebrity would spend 78 months behind bars, despite prosecutors' suggested sentence of 120 months, for fraud conspiracy after she admitted to participating in a nationwide telemarketing scheme. That's in addition to five years of supervision after her release. Shah also agreed to forfeit $6.5 million and to pay $9.5 million in restitution as part of her plea agreement. Shah was ordered to begin her sentence Feb. 17, 2024. Her arrest was partially captured by Bravo's cameras. The 50-year-old reality TV star is serving time at FPC Bryan in Texas, a "minimum security federal prison camp," with a release date of Sept. 19, 2026, according to a May29, 2025, Federal Bureau of Prisons records check. On April 16, 2024, former HGTV star Charles "Todd" Hill of Los Gatos, California, was remanded and sentenced to four years in jail. Hill also was ordered to pay back close to $10 million for committing real estate and financial fraud against 11 victims, according to a news release from the County of Santa Clara (California) Office of the District Attorney. The "Flip It to Win It" star on the home and garden television network was convicted in 2023 of multiple fraud schemes. In "Flip It to Win It," Hill would buy dilapidated homes, fix them up and sell them for a profit. Instead, "Hill spent millions on overbudget remodels, laundered profits and pocketed millions in fraudulently obtained money," the news release states. Hill was indicted in November 2019, then convicted by plea on Sept. 27, 2023, of grand theft against all victims. He was ordered to pay back $9,402,678 in restitution and serve 10 years on probation. A May 29, 2025, records check shows the 59-year-old Charles Hill will be released from FCI Oakdale on March 22, 2037.

The ‘Last of Us' Season Finale Is a Game-Changing Bloodbath
(Warning: Spoilers ahead.) Two wars leave a trail of dead in Seattle. One is rooted in differing ideologies, the other in revenge. It doesn't matter who believes what in The Last of Us because the ongoing disputes seemingly have no end. Taking an eye for an eye approach is futile because someone will always seek retribution in retaliation. The ongoing cycle of violence is the foundation of Sunday's Season 2 finale, as Ellie (Bella Ramsey) comes face-to-face with Abby (Kaityln Dever) for the first time since Joel (Pedro Pascal) was killed. Ellie adds two more people from Abby's crew to her body count, and Abby shoots Jesse (Young Mazino) in the face. Jesse tells Ellie he wasn't going to die in Seattle because it is 'not our war.' Alas, Jesse doesn't get a say in his fate because his presence means he is a player in Ellie's ongoing vengeance plot. The cast turnover rate remains high, but Season 2 let relationships build before swinging the proverbial axe. A result of this additional time is that I have grown rather fond of Jesse, and his demise is a significant blow. It is hard not to blame Ellie for putting others in the crosshairs. Yes, she watched Joel get beaten to death, but she also withheld pertinent details from Dina (Isabela Merced) about why Abby was there in the first place. Ellie describes Joel's Firefly massacre, and Dina wants to go home because this revenge turducken started with Joel pulling the trigger, not Abby swinging a golf club. Despite not knowing these particulars, Jesse radiates annoyance about this entire mission. Finding out Dina is pregnant only adds to his frustrations about this avoidable predicament. Jesse tells Ellie that he voted 'no' when Ellie first proposed her mission to get justice for Joel. His reason? Because Ellie is selfish. Jesse references the blizzard on the day Joel died. He probably doesn't mean to almost crib a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City moniker: 'You and me again in bad f---ing weather.' Who knew Jesse and Ellie were the Last of Us equivalent of Whitney Rose and Heather Gay?! They certainly bicker as much. If you think Jesse is sprinkling his resentment with jealousy, he explains this is far from the case. He loves Dina, but it is a situationship. Though it would've been more powerful to see Jesse's brief brush with romance rather than hearing him tell this story of the one who got away. With a tinge of self-righteousness, Jesse says he was taught to put other people first. However, Elle thinks Jesse is a hypocrite because they watched the Wolves drag off a young solitary Scar without intervening. It would be great to save everyone, but they were outnumbered, and I am with Jesse on this (more so considering what happens later). Ellie is hellbent on avenging her community of one; she cannot see the bigger picture. At this point, Jesse's priority is finding Tommy (Gabriel Luna) so they can leave Seattle as soon as the storm is over. Ellie seems ready to call the hunt for Abby off until she discovers that Nora (Tati Gabrielle) was implying that Abby is at the aquarium. Ellie is not going to let the opportunity slip through her fingers (Tommy be damned) when the waterfront location is only a short boat ride away. Of course, the raging storm and the gathering Wolves are obstacles Ellie has to overcome. The latter group is preoccupied with launching an attack on the Scar's home base, but the waves are another story. The nighttime sequence is tense, and it is hardly surprising when Ellie finds herself tossed into the water. Unfortunately, the shore she crawls onto is the same Scar Island. The community Ellie was keen to protect wants her dead, and she is close to getting disembowled. In a twist of fate, she is spared when the Wolves begin to blow s--- up. Instead of taking this as a sign to quit while she's ahead, Ellie is back on mission. At the aquarium, she finds Owen (Spencer Lord) and Mel (Ariela Barer) talking about whatever Abby has planned next. The pair is startled by Ellie's sudden appearance. There is zero trust with Owen thinking that Ellie will kill them as soon as she gets Abby's location. It doesn't matter that Ellie assures them she won't, because Owen has a split second to choose. He goes for a gun, and Ellie quickly reacts. It is a twofer: Owen is shot through the neck, and the bullet strikes Mel's neck. As if this terrible situation couldn't get worse, Mel reveals she is pregnant and begs Ellie to save the baby before it's too late. What follows is more top-tier crying from Ramsey, who excels at showing the horror of this scenario as Ellie freezes with the knife in hand. It is too late when Tommy and Jesse burst in. Seeing a dead pregnant woman is a reminder of who is waiting at the theater, and Ellie knows it is time to go. Ellie has only been in Seattle for three days, but has seen (and enacted) enough horrors for a lifetime—even by apocalyptic standards. Back at the theater, in a rare moment of sentimentality, Ellie thanks Jesse for coming back. He jokes that Tommy made him, and this duo is back to their teasing sibling dynamic. Jesse takes a beat to be sincere: 'You would set the world on fire to save me.' Ellie agrees that she would. Sure enough, they both leap into action when they hear noises from the lobby. Jesse runs through the door milliseconds before Ellie, and has zero time to react. Abby is the shooter, and it's game over for Jesse: Ellie doesn't get to play savior. Abby, whose neck bruising looks like it came from a noose, is in disbelief when she sees Ellie. 'I let you live and you wasted it,' Abby spits. A gun goes off at the same time as it fades to black. Did the revenge body count claim another? Rather than smash to credits, Abby (minus neck bruising) is awoken by Manny (Danny Ramirez). Was it all a dream? No, The Last of Us isn't opting for that cliche. We are seeing what Abby was up to on the first day Ellie came to Seattle. Get ready to watch these events unfold from the other side of the fight. While the season would have benefited from being longer and doesn't pack the same jaw-dropping punch of Joel's actions at the end of Season 1, The Last of Us keeps up intrigue with this Abby tease. It is impossible to see an end to this storm, as the ramifications of Joel's choice to protect his community continue. There is no cheat code for getting even—no matter how hard Ellie and Abby try.

Reality stars' prison release dates, from Julie and Todd Chrisley to a 'Housewives' star
Reality stars' prison release dates, from Julie and Todd Chrisley to a 'Housewives' star Show Caption Hide Caption 911 call of Chase Chrisley at Twin Peaks in Buckhead The son of former reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley has found himself in some legal trouble. He's accused of assaulting a bar manager at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Buckhead. Fox - 5 Atlanta A reality television to prison pipeline? It's more common than you might think. From "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Jen Shah's involvement in a telemarketing scheme to the "Chrisley Knows Best" stars charges on tax evasion and bank fraud, plenty of personalities have gone from TV screens to behind bars. In at least one case, the plea for their release has reached the highest office in the land: Savannah Chrisley, daughter of disgraced reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, has appealed to President Donald Trump's administration for their pardon. Savannah, 27, spoke at the Republican National Convention in July 2025. As of May 12, 2025, the Chrisleys are still in their respective prisons. Who are the other reality stars who are serving time in prison? Here's a closer look. From Netflix to prison. 'Cheer' star Jerry Harris sentenced to 12 years for sex crimes Julie and Todd Chrisley from 'Chrisley Knows Best' It's been more than two years since Julie and Todd Chrisley began their prison sentences for bank fraud. But instead of the respective seven- and 12-year sentences, each has had their prison time slightly reduced. The Chrisleys gained fame on the USA Network reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," which followed their tight-knit, boisterous family and lavish lifestyle in Atlanta and Nashville. The show drew in more than 2 million viewers by its eighth season and inspired the spinoffs "Growing Up Chrisley" and "According to Chrisley." However, their image as savvy real estate tycoons was sullied in June 2022, when the pair was found guilty of tax evasion and defrauding community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. In January 2023, the Chrisleys traded their luxurious lifestyle for prison time. Prosecutors said the reality TV couple was driven by greed as they engaged in an extensive bank fraud scheme and then hid their wealth from tax authorities. Julie Chrisley, 52, is serving her prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, with an expected release date of Jan. 8, 2028. Todd Chrisley is serving time at FPC Pensacola and is expected to be released April 7, 2032, more than two years before his original 12-year sentence was supposed to be up. Brittish Williams of VH1's 'Basketball Wives' Former "Basketball Wives" star Brittish Cierrah Williams found herself in hot legal water last year when authorities apprehended her over a series of scams. On Oct. 24, 2023, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey sentenced Williams, 35, to four years in prison for committing $564,000 worth of frauds, including tax frauds, bank fraud, insurance fraud and three separate pandemic fraud schemes, according to a release from the US Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Missouri. Williams, then a radio personality in St. Louis, pleaded guilty to 15 felonies in May 2023. Williams will also be on supervised release for five years after serving time, and was ordered to pay $564,069 in restitution. She is now serving time at FCI Waseca, "a low security federal correctional institution" in Minnesota, with a release date of Dec. 24, 2025. Josh Duggar of TLC Network's '19 Kids and Counting' Josh Duggar, who rose to fame on TLC's hit show "19 Kids and Counting," was sentenced in May 2022 to 12 years in prison for downloading and possessing child pornography.

A federal agent testified that images depicting the sexual abuse of children, including toddlers, were downloaded in 2019 onto a computer at a car dealership Duggar owned. This is not Josh Duggar's first fall from grace. "19 Kids and Counting," was canceled in 2015 following revelations that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and a babysitter when he was a teen. At the time, he apologized, admitting to a porn addiction and infidelity. Duggar, 37, will be released Oct. 2, 2032. He is imprisoned at FCI Seagoville in Texas. Jerry Harris of Netflix show 'Cheer' In 2020, after gaining fame on the Netflix docuseries "Cheer," competitive cheerleading coach Jerry Harris was charged with producing child pornography.

Season 2 of the hit Netflix show addressed Harris' downfall. Harris pleaded guilty in February 2022 and in July of that same year was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. Harris, 25, is serving time at FMC Lexington in Lexington, Kentucky and has a projected release date of Jan. 18, 2031. Downfall of a Netflix star. How one season of 'Cheer' addressed child pornography charges against Jerry Harris Jen Shah of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' In January 2024, "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Jen Shah was sentenced to 6½ years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with a national telemarketing scheme. Judge Sidney H. Stein ruled the Bravo celebrity would spend 78 months behind bars, despite prosecutors' suggested sentence of 120 months. That's in addition to five years of supervision after her release. Shah, 50, also agreed to forfeit $6.5 million and to pay $9.5 million in restitution as part of her plea agreement. Shah, whose arrest was partially captured by Bravo's cameras, was ordered to begin her sentence Feb. 17, 2024. She is currently serving time at FPC Bryan in Texas and is expected to be released Sept. 19, 2026. Charles 'Todd' Hill of HGTV's 'Flip It to Win It' Former HGTV star Charles "Todd" Hill turned from celebrity fixer-upper to disgraced real estate criminal, when authorities charged him with committing real estate and financial fraud. Hill, 59, was sentenced to four years in jail and ordered to pay back close to $10 million for committing fraud against 11 victims, according to a news release from the County of Santa Clara Office of the District Attorney in California.

Julie and Todd Chrisley, 'Real Housewives,' reality stars: Who will be released from prison in 2025
For some reality stars, life was not at all like a TV show when they found themselves in legal trouble.
