Todd Chrisley isn’t staying silent after his early release from prison.

The “Chrisley Knows Best” star, recently pardoned by Donald Trump, held a press conference in Nashville and called out racial bias behind bars.
“Anyone that says it’s a fair shake, it’s not,” he said. “I dealt with young African American males…that were not treated the same. They were denied programming. They were denied access to certain things.”
Chrisley, who served time for tax evasion and bank fraud, acknowledged that his experience was different. “I was not denied that, but we know why I wasn’t denied,” he said, hinting at racial privilege. “We are one,” he added, calling for unity and reform.
He also addressed his controversial conviction: “Even though this pardon has happened, I still was convicted of something that I did not do…It could be you, it could be any of you.”
Refusing to carry shame, Chrisley said, “Shame is like a cancer that just spreads, and I have no shame.”
And for fans missing the Chrisleys, they’re making a comeback. His daughter Savannah confirmed they’ve already started filming a new reality show: “It’s honestly felt like a dream to have them at home.”
