Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson is sharing her unfiltered thoughts on Julie Chrisley’s appearance following her presidential pardon and release from prison.
“She looks, I mean, she’s been in jail for two years,” Thompson, 19, said in a Saturday, May 31, interview with Page Six Radio. “Like, what did you guys expect?”
After the reality TV star and former beauty pageant contestant was shown some headlines about Julie, 52, which claimed she left prison with a “shocking look” that simply showed her gray roots, Thompson and the reporters lamented the difficulty that must come with having a so-called “jailhouse dye job.”
“I don’t even know if I would want a jailhouse dye job,” Thompson added, before clarifying that she doesn’t believe Julie looks “bad” post-incarceration.
“I don’t think she looks bad,” she explained. “I can say, I do think she looks a lot older. One-hundred percent. I do think before she went to jail she looked very young, but I don’t think she looks bad. She’s an older woman.”
Julie and her husband Todd, 56, were serving federal prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion when they were pardoned by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, May 28. Hours later, Todd was released from a minimum-security prison camp in Pensacola, Florida, while Julie left a facility in Lexington, Kentucky.
“We just want to get home. We want to be reunited,” the pair’s daughter, Savannah, told reporters outside the Florida prison as she waited to greet her father upon his release. “My parents have not spoken to each other, heard each others’ voices or seen each other in the past two-and-a-half years.”
Thompson, whose family has had their own legal troubles over the years, said that while she has some “thoughts” on Julie she doesn’t actively hope for the worst for her or her family.
“I do have thoughts on her, but I’m not wishing any harm on the family,” she continued on Saturday. “I’m not gonna lie, I seen Todd and he’s the only one that, like, if I seen a picture of him, I would know. He’s the only one. I mean, he’s very — you can tell who Todd is. So I’ve seen him and Savannah and they had a paper bag, a Nordstrom bag, over his head. I’m like, what?! He’s hilarious.”
In March 2019, Thompson’s mother, June Shannon, and her then-boyfriend Geno Doak were arrested in Alabama on drug charges, including felony drug possession of crack cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
“Mama June,” as she is called, ultimately avoided jail time by agreeing to community service and to maintain her sobriety. Doak was sentenced to 16 months and placed in a community corrections program that allowed him to work and be at his own residence, also avoiding jail time.
