Who is Savannah Chrisley? Todd and Julie Chrisley daughter that pushed for pardon
Todd and Julie Chrisley are out from behind bars after President Donald Trump pardoned the two on tax evasion and fraud charges. On May 30, the whole Chrisley family came together to speak, including the couple's biggest advocate, their daughter Savannah. Savannah Chrisley has made a name for herself in her quest to get her parents pardoned. But her actions went a bit beyond the usual sphere of writing a petition to the president for a pardon. Savannah Chrisley was vocal to the media and even took to the stage at the Republican National Convention in 2024 to plead her parents' case and of them being "persecution" by a "two-faced judicial system" that persecutes "Christians and conservatives that the government has labeled extremists or even worse." The plea apparently was heard by Trump and he called Savannah Chrisley personally to tell her in a social media video on May 27, to tell her about her parents' pardon. Here's everything to know about the former reality star from Tennessee and her quest to free her parents. The former reality television star is Todd and Julie Chrisley's middle daughter. Chrisley is mostly known for her appearances in "Chrisley Knows Best," "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," and "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens." Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, the 27-year-old reality TV star lives in Middle Tennessee where in addition to podcasting, she also works in real estate. She won Miss Tennessee Teen USA in 2016 and placed in the top 15 at Miss Teen USA 2016. This year she was revealed as the "Afghan Hound" on the "Wizard of US" night of "The Masked Singer." After Trump's announcement of Todd and Julie Chrisley's pardon, Savannah reported getting ready for their return. "We're getting some clothes together for mom and dad, getting their room put together upstairs, and I'm just speechless. I can't thank you guys enough for sticking with my family along the way and for loving us and supporting us," she said. On May 28, Julie and Todd were back in the Nashville area. Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty in June 2022 of committing tax evasion and defrauding community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. Julie Chrisley was also convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud. In November 2022, the couple was originally sentenced to 12 and seven years in prison, respectively. They also received an order of 16 months probation from U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross in Atlanta, news outlets reported. A few weeks ago, the Chrisleys were further ordered to turn over $30,000 held in an Alabama trust fund to help pay for their $17 million judgment after their guilty verdict. Todd was sentenced to 12 years at Florida's Federal Prison Camp Pensacola while Julie received a seven-year sentence at Kentucky's Federal Medical Center in Lexington. The two began their prison sentences in January 2023. While Trump mentioned trying to get Julie and Todd Chrisley out by May 28, which happened. The couple was released from their respective federal prisons in Florida and Kentucky that day and were on the "way home to Nashville," according to the family's legal representation. The Chrisley family moved from Atlanta to Nashville in 2015. This article originally appeared on Nashville Tennessean: Todd, Julie Chrisley daughter Savannah Chrisley pushed for pardons

Kourtney Kardashian slams 'controlling' Caitlyn Jenner in furious rant
Reality TV icon Kourtney Kardashian has hit out at Caitlyn Jenner's parenting skills in a brutal swipe while appearing on sister Khloe's podcast Kourtney Kardashian has slammed Caitlyn Jenner as she reflected on her upbringing, describing the star's approach to parenting as 'controlling' and 'bossy.' The Kardashians star, 46, made the remarks during an appearance on her sister Khloe Kardashian 's podcast, Khloe In Wonder Land. As the eldest daughter of Kris Jenner and the late Robert Kardashian, Kourtney opened up about her dynamic with Caitlyn, who married Kris, 69, in 1991 and remained in the family until their 2015 divorce. The conversation turned to parenting styles when Khloe praised Kourtney for taking a more relaxed role in co-parenting with her husband Travis Barker. '[Caitlyn] never tried to be dad,' Khloe said, referencing their late father Robert. 'And I always appreciated and respected that.' However, Kourtney offered a different take. 'Okay, so, that wasn't my experience,' she responded. 'But maybe that's why it became your experience. So [I'm] grateful for that for you.' She went on to recall tense moments from her youth. 'I would be like, 'I wanna call my Dad,' and [Caitlyn] would hang up the phone. We would have yelling wars.' Kourtney said Jenner even imposed strict rules on her social life: 'Certain friends can't come over.' Kourtney explained that these confrontations eventually led her to move in with her father Robert before his death from esophageal cancer in 2003. Khloe admitted she once assumed the friction came from Kourtney feeling that Caitlyn was 'replacing dad,' though she added: 'Not that he did, no one could replace dad.' During their marriage, Caitlyn and Kris welcomed daughters Kendall and Kylie, and Caitlyn also became step-parent to Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, and Rob. From previous relationships, Caitlyn has four more children - Brody, Burt, Brandon, and Cassandra. Years after her 2015 transition, Caitlyn opened up in an interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20 about the state of her relationships with her children. 'Some [of my children] I have remained very close to. A couple of them… I'm a little more distant,' she said. 'I have to admit, I'll sit here and wonder, 'Is it because of my transitioning? Or is it because their life is so busy that they don't call, like, all the time? Nobody calls that much. I mostly reach out to them. Obviously, the Jenner side calls more, but they all have their own lives.' This year, Brody Jenner offered his own perspective during an episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, reflecting on Caitlyn's absence during his childhood. 'I had an incredible mother. Father, Bruce, at the time, wasn't around that much,' he shared, according to E! News. However, Brody revealed that their relationship has seen some healing: 'Just recently, I got a real, sincere apology. It was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology. You know, I'm sorry for not being there, and honestly, it meant a lot.'

Carey Hart Thanks Wife Pink After ‘Severing Small Intestine From Colon' In Gruesome Injury: See Photo
Carey Hart thanked his wife Pink for her support after a gruesome injury where he 'severed [his] small intestine from his colon.' 'Welp, I ran out of talent,' the motocross and off-road truck racer, 49, joked via Instagram on Saturday, May 17. 'I had a pretty nasty get off, practicing [motocross] Thursday morning. Landed off a jump, bars knifed, and took the bar to the gut while going over the bars. As I understand it, severed my small intestine from my colon. I'm fine and will recover from this.' Hart shared a carousel of photos from the aftermath of his injury, including showing off a bandage that runs from above his navel to the bottom of his stomach. He credited his good friend, musician Big B, with 'talking [him] into going to the ER' after his accident. 'A huge thanks to @pink,' he added. 'As [she] always does in these situations w/ me, she steps up and takes charge at the hospital. Sorry to put you through this, yet again 🤣. Thanks [children] Willz and Jamo for coming to visit today.' Pink's Health Struggles Over the Years: COVID-19 Experience, Hip Surgery, Overdose and More He then vowed, 'Gonna rest up this week, and start the healing process. ***sorry to everyone I ghosted over the last couple days. There was a good reason for it 🤣🤣. I'm gonna take a few days off, and I'll catch up with everyone next week.' Hart received numerous well-wishes for a speedy recovery from many of his famous friends, including getting encouragement from his Special Forces: World's Toughest Test costar Trista Sutter. 'Thank God you're ok!!!! That scar is one for the Carey Hart story book,' Sutter joked via Instagram. Sutter and Hart's fellow Special Forces costar Kyla Pratt offered her support as well, writing, 'Omg Carey wtf 😭😣 be careful man. Speedy Recovery.' The motocross star was forced to withdraw from Fox's Special Forces on medical grounds earlier this year after slipping on a speed bump in the mud during a challenge. He later exclusively told Us Weekly that it was disappointing to break the news about his injury to Pink, 45. 'I FaceTimed her that night. At the moment I got hurt, it was probably around midnight,' he told Us. 'So by the time I made it back to the hotel and got my phone out of the safe and all the things, it was probably 3 o'clock in the morning U.K. time.' He went on, 'She'd known the period of the time of the show and probably in the back of her mind, she knows anytime my phone's going to ring before that last day, I'm going to be [hurt]. So her initial [reaction] — she was wide-eyed, kind of white as a ghost, asking, 'Are you alright?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, it's just my old body.'' Hart called his Special Forces injury 'so dumb' and admitted he was entirely to blame for the mishap. Celebrity Health Scares Through the Years 'It's my own fault that that happened. We were running this brutal workout through the mud holes and into the splash pond and all these things,' he told Us. 'It was absolutely freezing outside. I got hurt because I wasn't paying attention,' ' Hart continued, 'In the prior exercises, we had to do two laps around the compound and back into the square. Well, in that certain situation, I think that was the second or third round — [and] I'm not a great runner. The DS said, 'OK, go out, do one loop around and pull back in.' I wasn't paying attention. I went for the full two laps. Well, it was the second lap I actually tripped. … So had I been paying attention, I would've advanced and not been in that situation.' Influencer Kayla Nicole and Brody Jenner were the only Special Forces celebrity contestants to pass the grueling selection process during season three. Pink and Hart tied the knot at the Four Seasons hotel and resort in Costa Rica in January 2007. They share two children — Willow Sage, born 2011, and Jameson, born 2016.
