Savannah Chrisley, the 28-year-old daughter of convicted reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, has ignited backlash after stepping in as a guest host on ABC’s The View. Chrisley, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, is filling in for panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is on maternity leave. Viewers took to social media to express their displeasure, with some threatening to boycott the show.
One user on X wrote: “Savannah Chrisley is a horrible choice for a co-host fill-in. There were no other Republicans available? Are you actively trying to alienate your audience?” Another added: “I do not support you having Savannah Chrisley guest co-host your show. She is indebted to 47 for pardoning her criminal parents. This is wrong. I won’t watch.”
Chrisley has not directly addressed the criticism but reshared a complimentary post that read: “Saw you on The View today. So refreshing to see a young lady with brains. You are an All Star Savanna [sic] !!!! Fantastic Job Today.” She is scheduled to appear on the programme for four days.
The Chrisley family rose to fame on the USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, which documented their affluent lifestyle. In August 2019, Todd and Julie Chrisley were indicted on charges of bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion. They were found guilty, with Todd receiving a 12-year prison sentence and Julie a seven-year term. In May 2025, Trump pardoned the couple, stating they had been “given a pretty harsh treatment.” Savannah Chrisley remarked at the time: “It’s all God and President Trump.”
Tuesday’s episode was scheduled to feature musicians Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie Xo, but they did not appear. Jelly Roll’s representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
