Savannah Chrisley revealed the reasons behind her not staying in contact with Kyle and Lindsie. She details the reasons on Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green’s OLD-ish podcast. “My two oldest siblings are from my dad’s first marriage … over the years I feel like there’s been a lot of anger and resentment just over the fact that my parents were together [and] theirs weren’t. Then when the show came about I feel like there was jealousy … there was a whole bunch of things that were involved.”
Todd Chrisley and his ex-wife Teresa Terry share Lindsie 34 and Kyle 32. Todd and Julie Chrisley have been married since 1996. Savannah has a bother Chase 27, and Grayson 17. The Chrisleys also care for Kyle’s 10-year-old daughter Chloe.
The troubles between Savannah and her older siblings began when her parents were sentenced to prison last year.
Savannah became the primary guardian of Chloe and Grayson, she claimed that the downfall of her parents was caused by Kyle and Lindsie.
Savannah Chrisley alleges, “The oldest two were also involved in my parents’ criminal case … they worked with the government, there is a lot of proof to show that. And so at that point, I’m done.”
|Savannah continued “My loyalty is to my parents and to the people who have always been there for me and loved me and showed up for me. They’re not in the picture at all.” She also shared a hard lesson she learned. First off she’s grown up and she has to be more mindful, especially when it comes to other people in the family.
She said, “Just because you’re family doesn’t mean I have to be the punching bag or I have to take unhealthy behavior just because we’re blood-related.
I’m a firm believer that I have friends who have been better family to me than some of my own family members. At the end of the day, the hurt didn’t start with me but it can stop with me.”
Last month Lindsie spoke up that she would like to speak to Savannah one one-on-one to handle the situation in a private setting. Lindsie shared on her podcast ” Southern Tea” that “I wanted to handle this situation privately or would be willing to handle the situation privately if she wanted to handle it privately.”
Lindsie also stated “I would be in agreement to do that because I never spoke first. In fact, going back to the issue of where this all started, I kind of took the blame for certain things that I shouldn’t have taken the blame publicly. I took that on this podcast myself just for it to go away and for there to be peace.”

Savannah’s decision to distance herself from her siblings was not an impulsive one; it was a result of years of turmoil within the family. She explained that both Kyle and Lindsie had made choices that were detrimental to their own lives as well as the overall well-being of the family unit.
Substance abuse issues plagued Kyle’s life, leading him down a destructive path that strained relationships within the family. On the other hand, Lindsie’s decisions brought about legal troubles and constant conflict.
Despite numerous attempts to help her siblings overcome their challenges, Savannah ultimately realized that she needed to prioritize her own mental health and happiness. Cutting ties with them was an agonizing decision but necessary for her personal growth.
