Todd Chrisley makes social media comeback post-prison release with inspirational note to son
Todd Chrisley made his grand return to social media with an affectionate note to his youngest son, Grayson, just two weeks after being released from federal prison.
“God is good all the time, @graysonchrisley, I love you to the moon and back and we couldn’t be more proud,” the “Chrisley Knows Best” star captioned a screenshot of a news item stating that the 19-year-old had been named to the University of Alabama’s spring 2025 dean’s list.
“You have shown great character and fortitude and stood with your lord and savior amidst the fire and came out the other side never smelling of smoke, you are proof of Gods word,” he continued. “Stand tall, Stand true and stand for your fellow brothers in Christ.I love you Gray Gray.”
The screenshot indicated that dean’s list honors are bestowed on full time undergraduate students who achieve an academic record of 3.5 or above.
Fans of the famous family took to the comments thread to gush over Grayson’s accomplishment — and his dad’s return to the platform following a two-year prison stint.
“The bounce back is better than that set back ❤️,” wrote a follower, while another chimed in, “welcome back Todd we’ve missed you.
“I love you all and I’m so glad to see everyone happy healthy and together again,” remarked a third.

The couple was convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud in June 2022, which resulted in combined sentences of 19 years in prison for the reality TV stars.
Trump broke the news last month to the Chrisley children via a personal phone call from the Oval Office, which was shared in a video clip via
“It’s a terrible thing. It’s a terrible thing. But it’s a great thing because your parents are gonna be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow. Is that OK? We’ll try getting it done tomorrow.”
