Lindsie Chrisley slams sister Savannah’s ‘lack of empathy’ and ‘awareness’ after shady comments
Lindsie Chrisley is hitting back at her estranged half-sister Savannah Chrisley’s shady comments.
Lindsie, 34, recently posted an Instagram Story that reportedly poked fun at their family, which upset Savannah, 26, and the former’s half-brother Chase Chrisley, 27.
Though Lindsie said on Thursday’s episode of her and Kailyn Lowry’s “Coffee Convos” podcast that her upload “wasn’t meant to be rude” or “mean,” she agreed to delete the post while encouraging her younger siblings to “remove” themselves from her life.
Lindsie immediately blocked them and later unblocked them, but there is still bad blood between the sisters.
Earlier this month, Savannah revealed on an episode of Nick Viall’s “The Viall Files” podcast that she and Lindsie “don’t speak to each other anymore,” explaining that there was more to their fallout than just the latter’s social media activity.
“She and my oldest brother from my dad [Todd Chrisley]’s first marriage, [Kyle Chrisley] — my mom [Julie Chrisley] always treated them as if they were hers. They didn’t necessarily treat [my mom] the same,” Savannah alleged.
Lindsie then slammed Savannah’s claim on her podcast and accused her younger sister of displaying “a complete lack of empathy” and “awareness.”
“[Julie] could have hung the moon, but she still wasn’t my mother,” Lindsie — whose biological mom is Todd’s first wife, Teresa Terry — said.
“I still had exposure to my mother, and I still had all of those traumas before [Savannah, Chase and Grayson Chrisley, 17] were ever even born or brought into the picture.”
She argued that it’s “easy” for Savannah to “sit and say things without having true life experience and witnessing any of these things.”
Savannah also alleged on Viall’s podcast that Lindsie was “very heavily involved in [her] parents’ court case [by] working with the government,” referring to the incarcerated pair’s August 2019 indictment on numerous charges of financial crimes.
“In the court transcripts, it was said that she had worked with the government for two years, but during [the] trial, certain things she said was, like, ‘Hey, what the government’s saying is not accurate,'” Savannah claimed.
“I just think she got herself in a mess that she tried to find her way out of that was a difficult way to find her way out of.”

Before Todd, 54, and Julie, 50, were charged, Lindsie allegedly informed the FBI that she was “truly afraid” of her father.
However, she testified in favor of Todd during the May 2022 trial and retracted her previous claim that he had threatened to extort her with an alleged sex tape of her and her ex-boyfriend Robby Hayes.
“When it comes to personal life and information and experiences, I just don’t think I could ever get to a place of trusting [Lindsie] with that just because, now, I’m left without two parents, and she did help to contribute to it,” Savannah told Viall, 42.
Lindsie responded in her chat with Lowry, 31, “If [Savannah] feels the need to blame me to move forward with her life and responsibilities, that’s OK.”
She also accused Savannah of acting like “the sole person that lost two parents.”
“While I was not a part of my parents’ life in the same capacity, they’re still a loss,” Lindsie argued.
“You can’t say, ‘My loss is greater than your loss,’ or ‘Your loss is greater than my loss.’ That doesn’t really apply here.”
Despite their strained relationship, the ladies have each indicated that there is hope for repair.
Savannah said she would “show up” for her sister and “help her and provide her with whatever help she needed,” while Lindsie noted that Savannah “knows how to get a hold of [her] if she wants to work this out privately.”
Todd and Julie, whose blended family rose to fame on the reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022. They reported to their respective prisons in January.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in federal custody, while Julie was ordered to seven years behind bars.
However, their sentences were recently reduced by more than a year each for good behavior.
