Lindsie Chrisley Opens Up About Todd & Julie’s Fallout, And The Toll It Took On Her Son

For the first time, Lindsie Chrisley, now Landsman, is reclaiming her truth. The podcast host and television personality, who rose to fame on "Chrisley Knows Best," recently opened up in a three-part tell-all series that pulled back the curtain on one of reality TV’s most complex family sagas. The unfiltered, fact-based series, which has aired across her hit podcasts "Coffee Convos" and "The Southern Tea," and is moderated by longtime friend Kailyn Lowry, marks the first time Lindsie has publicly addressed the aftermath of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley’s, legal battles and subsequent presidential pardon. After years of silence amid speculation, leaked narratives, and online scrutiny, Lindsie said she was ready to share what really happened, armed with documentation, including legal letters, emails, and filings that had never been made public before. Following the podcast drop, Lindsie caught up with The Blast to speak about her experience and what it has been like navigating the media.

When asked which part of the podcast was hardest to record, Lindsie didn’t hesitate. “The most difficult moment was talking about the impact this situation has had on my son, Jackson,” she told The Blast. “As a mother, it’s incredibly hard to discuss how my own familial estrangement has affected him and made him feel hurt or disregarded.”

She explained that while the series is rooted in truth and evidence, it’s also deeply personal. “Those conversations are emotional because they touch on the parts of this experience that extend beyond me, and into my child’s world,” she said.

For Lindsie, breaking her silence wasn’t just about reclaiming her name. It was about breaking a cycle for the next generation.

Hosting the series alongside "Teen Mom" alum and media personality Kailyn Lowry added comfort and credibility. “Having Kail as the moderator made me feel incredibly safe and supported,” Lindsie shared. “She was present for many of the hardest moments in this story, so she understands the depth and complexity of what I’ve experienced.”

Their friendship, built on years of shared vulnerability in the public eye, allowed Lindsie to open up without fear of sensationalism. “Kail is no stranger to navigating challenges in the spotlight,” she said. “That allowed her to approach the conversation with empathy, sensitivity, and a genuine understanding of what it means to share something so personal.”

When it comes to how her story has been portrayed, Lindsie says the real pain lies in how narratives have been shaped by others, often without her voice in the room. While Lindsie doesn’t appear in the new "Back to Reality" docuseries, her name is mentioned several times.

Savannah Chrisley, who hasn’t spoken to Lindsie in years, alleged that her sister was fired from "Chrisley Knows Best" after an argument involving their younger sister, Chloe, over a social media post. Savannah also referenced a supposed letter Lindsie wrote to federal authorities and publicly declared on the show that they were “no longer family.”

On the recent podcast, Lindsie revealed that after the docuseries aired, she was hit with a wave of online backlash stemming from those comments. When speaking to The Blast, she reflected on the backlash and responses. “I don’t know that ‘misunderstood’ is the right word,” she said. “‘Misrepresented’ feels more accurate. I’m a human being, just like anyone else, and it’s painful when narratives are shaped in ways that don’t reflect the full truth.”

For Lindsie, that ongoing distortion is part of why she decided to take control of her own story, but this time, with documentation and her voice front and center. “This hasn’t been a single moment,” she said. “It’s something that’s unfolded over many years, and that naturally takes an emotional toll.”

With her latest podcasts, the former reality star doesn’t just recount the trauma of being silenced, threatened, and blamed, but she reclaims her agency. “After everything that’s been said about me, this was my chance to finally speak in my own words,” she told The Blast.

Through it all, her tone remains measured, introspective, and rooted in truth. As both a mother and a media figure, she’s determined to show that vulnerability and strength can coexist, and that sometimes, the most powerful story is the one you tell yourself.
