After being incarcerated for over two years, the reality star praised their daughter Savannah Chrisley—who took legal guardianship of her younger siblings Grayson, 18, and Chloe, 11, after their arrest—for advocating on their behalf.
“She has fought a long fight, and for any parent to see their child fight this hard, it’s a double-edged sword,” he reflected. “It’s a blessing, and then your heart breaks because your child has been placed in that position to fight for you, when, as a parent, you’re supposed to fight for your children.”
It was a sentiment that the White House Pardon Czar Alice Marie Johnson, who helped facilitate their release, echoed.
“The celebrity part really didn’t play a role in this,” she explained on NewsNation Live. “I’m going to say that if they did not have a daughter like Savannah who was out there fighting for them, they would not have been pardoned.”
