Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality series Chrisley Knows Best, were unmasked as the Croissants on The Masked Singer during a recent episode. The couple, who performed Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock, embraced their past legal troubles in their appearance. They discussed feeling misunderstood politically and their quick elimination from the competition.
The revelation came in Wednesday's episode of The Masked Singer, where judge Jenny McCarthy correctly guessed the identities of the Croissants as Todd and Julie Chrisley. The couple, known from their USA Network show Chrisley Knows Best, had performed Jailhouse Rock in the season premiere, a choice that directly referenced their 2022 conviction for bank fraud and tax evasion. Their prison sentences were shortened in 2025 following a pardon by President Donald Trump.
Todd Chrisley anticipated McCarthy's guess, telling TVLine, "We've known Jenny forever... She's going to know as soon as I speak." Despite efforts to alter his voice, she identified him immediately. The Chrisleys were eliminated early, with Todd humorously blaming his wife: "There were two Croissants... I was pulled down." He emphasized they joined for fun, not victory, poking fun at Julie's mishaps during rehearsals.
Rather than avoiding their scandal, the pair leaned into it. Todd explained, "Let's cut the bullsh*t. Whatever you've got to ask, ask it, and let's address it." They selected Jailhouse Rock from options provided by producers, though Julie initially resisted. Todd recalled convincing her at their kitchen counter while she cooked.
The Chrisleys also addressed clues from their package, where they claimed to be misunderstood. Todd clarified their Republican affiliation but stressed social liberalism: "We fall right down the middle. I believe that you should love who you love." He noted their family values—no drugs or alcohol—remain unchanged, countering perceptions shaped by recent events. About 20% of fans now label them as MAGA supporters, which he disputes. The interview highlights their approach to reclaiming their narrative post-pardon.
