Julie Chrisley has no plans to return to her signature platinum blonde hair following her controversial pardon from President Donald Trump.
The reality TV matriarch, 52, was pictured in Nashville on Thursday with box-dye brown locks and long grey roots after spending nearly three years behind bars for tax evasion and defrauding banks out of more than $30 million.
Now her son Chase Chrisley, 29, has revealed she does not want to go back to blonde.
‘Her hair is darker now,’ her son Chase tells Entertainment Tonight. ‘I’m like, “Mama, we gotta go back platinum blonde.” And she was like, “I’m not doing that,”‘ he added.
‘My mother’s an angel and she’s still a beautiful woman,’ he concluded.

Julie Chrisley, 52, has no plans to return to her signature platinum blonde hair following her controversial pardon from President Donald Trump
Julie was pictured visiting a Nashville butcher shop sporting a brunette mane, a stark contrast from the blonde hairdo she entered custody with more than two years ago.
Julie and Todd, 56 – who headlined the USA Network reality series Chrisley Knows Best from 2014 to 2023, were given full pardons last week by Trump.
Julie beamed as she was seen exiting a vehicle just a day after her release from a Kentucky‘s Federal Medical Center at the order of President Donald Trump.
Following their respective stints in prison – both Todd and Julie began their sentences in January of 2023 – the family was slated to appear in a Lifetime docuseries that will help viewers catch up with the family amid the tumultuous timeframe.
On Sunday, her son Chase Chrisley, 29, said he got the best birthday present ever from President Donald Trump – in the pardoning of his parents – as took to Instagram Stories on with a shot of his folks, adding his own message at the bottom.
Chase wrote, ‘Best birthday gift I could ever ask for’ under a link to a Fox News story about the reality TV couple heading back to Nashville following their pardoning on May 28.
The Chrisleys were found guilty in 2022 in Atlanta on the fraud and tax charges. Until this Wednesday they still had years left on their sentences: Julie was expected to be released in 2028, and Todd in 2032.
At trial prosecutors detailed a laundry list of offenses that started before they became famous.

The Chrisleys and a former business partner submitted false documents to banks to obtain fraudulent loans and then used new loans to pay off the old ones, prosecutors said.
The couple was accused of spending lavishly on cars, designer clothes, real estate and travel.
Todd Chrisley filed for bankruptcy, walking away from more than $20 million in unpaid loans, according to prosecutors. Meanwhile Julie Chrisley created false financial documents to rent a home in Los Angeles, they said, but then the couple did not pay rent on it.
Once they were starring in the reality show, they operated a company that collected their income from the series and other ventures and kept the corporate bank accounts in Julie Chrisley’s name to avoid collection of half a million dollars in back taxes that Todd Chrisley owed, prosecutors said.
When the IRS asked for information on the accounts, they transferred ownership to Todd Chrisley’s mother to try to hide his income further, according to authorities.
Prosecutors also accused the couple of not filing or paying taxes for several years
The Chrisleys’ lawyers argued that an IRS officer gave false testimony at trial and that prosecutors lacked evidence to support convictions.
A panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld their convictions last year.
