Lindsie Chrisley (seen in 2016) has made a subtle comment about her estranged sister, Savannah, and her parents Todd and Julie while talking about ‘chosen family’.
The 34-year-old has been at the center of a family dispute while her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, remain behind bars for tax evasion (family seen in 2016).
He explained that “you choose your family” before delving into his current situation.
The 34-year-old said: ‘You don’t necessarily prioritize the people God gave you, but you prioritize the relationships that add value to your life.
“And someone you choose as family may not be related by blood, but you consider them more family than your own family.”
She then turned the conversation to discuss who would take care of her 12-year-old son Jackson, whom she shares with ex-husband Will.
Lindsie explained that her parents were definitely not an option and that her grandparents were “too old.”
“I definitely think that in this situation, the mother has thought much more deeply about this situation and has thought about all the factors in life,” she said.
‘And the father may have thought more superficially (sic) about this and simply prioritized his family because they have blood over someone who could possibly be a better candidate.
‘And as I was reading this, I thought, “Oh my God.” Like, “what would I do if something, God forbid, happened to Will and me at the same time?” And obviously, my parents are not an option. My mom is not a choice. My grandparents are too old to do it.
And although her ex’s parents are in their 60s, Lindsie noted that she would prefer them to take care of her son in the event of a disaster because Jackson already had a relationship with them.
Lindsie (seen in 2019) got candid on a new episode of the podcast titled Southern Tea, as she lifted the lid on the key thing she’s learned as she’s gotten older.
His comments about family come just a month after Savannah (seen in 2023) and Lindsie confirmed their ongoing feud.
The 34-year-old added: “But I think Will’s brother and my ex-sister-in-law, because they also have kids younger than Jackson, but they also know him very well and are in the middle of parenting.” .’
His comments about the family come just a month after Savannah and Lindsie confirmed their feud was continuing.
On her podcast, Lindsie shared that her younger sister, 26, had ordered her not to attend their parents’ appeal hearing.
“I wasn’t there,” Lindsie said.
‘I know that many people said, from the images they saw in the court, that they didn’t see me there and that was because I wasn’t there.
‘I feel like it was the best thing for me and everyone else. My sister privately let us know that she did not want us to be present at the hearing.
Savannah, 26, admitted during a Q&A on her Instagram Story that she asked her sister to stay away in a message through her grandmother, Nanny Faye Chrisley (family seen in 2016).
“And they told me that if we were there, there would be problems and they would ask us to leave.”
Lindsie said: “The control and manipulation is mind-blowing to me.” It alarms me a lot and I’m going to leave it at that.’
Savannah, 26, admitted during an Ask Me Anything session on her Instagram Story that she asked her sister to stay away in a message through her grandmother, Nanny Faye Chrisley.
“I certainly told him privately not to attend,” he said.
‘I told her that I didn’t want her, that my dad didn’t want her there and that he didn’t care about having a relationship with her.
‘So, I said all these things. I am more than happy to have said them and it is the attraction of my parents. They have the right to say who they want there and who they don’t.’
Savannah also addressed Lindsie’s alleged “involvement with the government” to build a case against her parents.
The Masked Singer alum noted that she hates “to even discuss this, but we have to make things clear.”

Todd is serving a 10-year sentence, while Julie is serving five years; both had previously had two years reduced from their concurrent sentences.
Lindsie’s attorney previously denied the allegations to People in 2019, explaining that she “has been a constant target of lies, harassment, and threats from her family and, as a result, has been distancing herself from the Chrisley family since 2017.”
In 2022, Todd, 55, and Julie, 51, were sentenced to prison on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion.
Lindsie responded to the sentencing: “The verdict is not what I had hoped for or prayed for, and I am deeply saddened for myself, my son, and my family as a whole.”
‘Please pray for us during this difficult time and know that I will return when the time is right. Thank you for your continued love and support.”
Todd is serving a 10-year sentence, while Julie is serving five years, both of whom had two years shaved off their concurrent sentences.
During her sentence, Savannah is raising her brother Grayson, 17, and niece Chloe, 11, while filming a new reality show with the children, her brother Chase Chrisley, 27, and Nanny Faye.
