Savannah Chrisley opened up about how speaking out about her conservative political views impacted her career.
In July 2024, the 27-year-old TV personality gave a speech at the Republican National Convention where she endorsed now-President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, saying that her family being branded the “Trumps of the South” was a “badge of honor.”
Chrisley has also frequently voiced her support for Trump and his Make America Great Again movement on her social media. The former “Chrisley Knows Best” star recently revealed that she plans to seek a presidential pardon from Trump for her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who remain incarcerated after being convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion.
During a recent interview with People magazine, Chrisley admitted that publicly sharing her conservative beliefs came with a price.
“I lost some deals when I came out politically on why I stood for what I stood for,” she said.
Chrisley told People her podcast “Unlocked” has helped her support her family financially and has enabled her to have a “louder voice” when expressing her political views.
“It’s giving me a job to provide for my family, and that’s the number one thing that I’m so grateful for,” said Chrisley, who became the legal guardian of her sister Chloe, 12, and brother Grayson, 18, when her parents went to prison.
However, she explained that her outspokenness has limited her income since she has been told that advertisers ‘don’t want to touch conservative.’”
“That was a tough thing for me because once again, I was being forced in a hole of — do I stand for what I believe in, or do I feed my family. Which one? We should never live in a world where your job is in jeopardy, because of [a] difference of beliefs,” Chrisley told People.
“It should never be that way and unfortunately, it was,” she continued. “You can have differences of opinions and beliefs, and still voice your stance on something.”
Regardless of losing out on lucrative contracts, Chrisley said, “It was all worth it.”
