Chrisleys Defend Jailhouse-Themed Masked Singer Turn as Comeback Draws Scrutiny

They frame the jailhouse number as a way to own their story following a 2025 presidential pardon.

Overview

  • They said the show offered multiple songs and they chose Jailhouse Rock despite Julie's initial hesitation, describing the pick as tongue-in-cheek.
  • Todd and Julie told outlets they intentionally leaned into their past, calling it their story to tell and rejecting efforts to downplay their prison stint.
  • Social-media criticism focused on their appearance and song choice, while Todd argued most objections stem from President Donald Trump granting their pardon.
  • They kept the taping secret from daughter Savannah, who previously competed on the series, though she later told them they did well.
  • The couple highlighted pending TV projects, including a new family series, Julie's cooking show, a U.K. project for Todd, and a travel-food series with son Chase; context includes their 2022 fraud convictions and 2025 release.
