It was a whirlwind week for Savannah Chrisley — and not just because of the on-air clashes.
The 28-year-old reality star and outspoken MAGA supporter wrapped up her stint as a guest co-host on The View on Friday, but not before opening up about the backlash she says followed her every move.
Before the panel jumped into its first Hot Topic, Chrisley thanked the women at the table for giving her space to speak her mind.
“I want to thank you all for giving me a voice and allowing me to sit at the table and believe totally differently, but have conversations that are hard and respectful,” she said.
But later in the show, during a discussion about Meta’s social media harm trial, the tone shifted.
“As an adult sitting here on The View this week, the amount of hateful messages I have gotten — ‘fat,’ ‘MAGA supporter’… it affects me at almost 30 years old,” Chrisley admitted.
Veteran co-host Joy Behar, 83, quickly offered some blunt advice: “Don’t read them, Savannah.”
“I’m trying not to,” Chrisley responded.
“You’re addicted to reading them, aren’t you?” Behar joked.
Chrisley shot back with a quick, “Next topic,” drawing laughs and easing the tension — at least momentarily.
Chrisley’s appearance on The View immediately sparked outrage from some longtime viewers, with calls to boycott the show flooding social media. She was one of several conservative guest hosts filling in while Alyssa Farah Griffin is on maternity leave.
After her first day at the table, Chrisley addressed critics directly on Instagram: “To those who have sent hate… I hear you. And I still choose love.”
Much of the controversy surrounding her booking stems from her involvement in advocating for President Donald Trump’s pardon of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley. The former reality stars were serving lengthy federal prison sentences on charges including bank fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the United States before being released within 24 hours of receiving a presidential pardon.
Todd and Julie, best known for their hit shows Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley, have long maintained they were unfairly targeted because of their conservative beliefs — a claim echoed by their attorney.
Chrisley’s week wasn’t short on headline-making moments.
On Thursday, she defended Trump against accusations of racism, declaring he was “not racist” — prompting sharp pushback from several co-hosts who cited his past statements and controversies.
The day before, she attempted to criticize Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by claiming the New York Democrat was the party’s 2028 presidential candidate — a statement that quickly drew corrections from the panel.
Despite the heated exchanges, Chrisley made it clear that her biggest struggle wasn’t the on-air debates — it was what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.
“It’s the moments off camera that people don’t get to see, to where we really do have more in common,” she said Friday.
Sunny Hostin, often her most pointed critic during the week, responded, “We have a lot in common.”
Ana Navarro added some humor to the moment, joking, “I’m glad we got through a week where nobody needs electroshock therapy.”
Behar closed out the week on a surprisingly warm note: “You were very good and very sweet. We all like you very much. Happy to have had you here.”
Love her or loathe her, Savannah Chrisley’s week on The View proved one thing — daytime TV is anything but boring.
