The long-standing tension between Lindsie Chrisley and her sister Savannah Chrisley has reached a new breaking point, with Lindsie firmly stating that she will no longer engage

in the public drama that has become a hallmark of their strained relationship. In a candid moment on the October 18 episode of her podcast Southern Tea, Lindsie, 34, revealed

that despite the ongoing feud, she is still open to having a private conversation with Savannah, 26, but will not partake in the toxic dynamics that have repeatedly played out in the media.

“I wanted to handle this situation privately, or would be willing to handle the situation privately if she wanted to handle it privately,” Lindsie said, addressing the longstanding conflict that has escalated in recent months. “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 for publicly. I took that on in this podcast just for it to go away and for there to be peace.”

In what felt like a heartfelt declaration, Lindsie explained that she would no longer “engage in unhealthy behavior”—a reference to the repeated public arguments and back-and-forths between the sisters. Despite the rift, Lindsie made it clear that she still harbors no ill will toward Savannah. “I wish her well in her time of grief that she’s been publicly navigating, and I just want great things for her,” Lindsie shared, emphasizing her desire for Savannah’s future happiness.

Yet, the divide between the two siblings is undeniable, and it has only intensified in the wake of their family’s turmoil. For years, the Chrisley family has been embroiled in scandal and legal issues, including the highly publicized prison sentences of their parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted of tax evasion and financial crimes in 2022. These events have undoubtedly added layers of stress and complexity to the relationships within the Chrisley family, with Lindsie and Savannah’s sibling bond being one of the most strained.

The public escalation of their feud came earlier this month when Savannah appeared on The Viall Files podcast and openly discussed the breakdown in her relationship with Lindsie. “She and my oldest brother from my dad’s first marriage, my mom always treated them as if they were hers,” Savannah explained, referring to her mother Julie’s relationship with Lindsie and Kyle, their older brother. “They didn’t necessarily treat her the same.” Savannah’s words implied a deep-rooted resentment and emotional distance between her and Lindsie, suggesting that the struggles between them were not just about current events but deeply ingrained family dynamics.

The Chrisley family’s history is complicated—Todd shares Lindsie and Kyle with his ex-wife, Teresa Terry, and he married Julie in 1996, with the couple later raising Savannah, Chase, and Grayson. The legal troubles that plagued Todd and Julie in recent years only added fuel to the fire. In 2022, both parents were sentenced to prison for their involvement in tax evasion and financial fraud schemes, with Todd receiving a 12-year sentence and Julie a 7-year sentence. The impact of their legal woes was felt across the family, and Savannah, in particular, took on a significant responsibility. Following her parents’ incarceration, Savannah assumed custody of her younger brother Grayson, 17, and her niece Chloe, 10, who had previously been in the custody of Todd and Julie due to Kyle’s struggles with addiction.

Lindsie, who was not as involved in the day-to-day dynamics of the household, has expressed frustration at how her relationship with her father has been portrayed publicly. She has also made it clear that her own experiences with the family, especially growing up with Todd and Julie, were far more complicated. “Julie could have hung the moon, but she still wasn’t my mother, and I still had exposure to my mother and I still had all of those traumas before they were ever even born or brought into the picture,” Lindsie stated in a September episode of Coffee Convos, referring to the emotional struggles she endured prior to Savannah’s birth. Lindsie’s words underscored a sense of alienation, one that was further compounded by the way the family’s conflicts have played out in the media.

Savannah’s accusations that Lindsie had been “heavily involved” in the legal case against Todd and Julie only added more fuel to the fire. In the past, Lindsie has openly spoken about her strained relationship with Todd, even going as far as reporting him to the FBI in 2019, claiming she was “truly afraid” of him and alleging that he had attempted to blackmail her with intimate footage from her past. During Todd’s trial in 2022, Lindsie took the stand in support of her father and later recanted her prior allegations. This dramatic shift in stance only intensified the perception that Lindsie was not fully aligned with the family, further alienating her from Savannah, who had always been closer to their parents.

The emotional burden of this family drama has clearly weighed heavily on both sisters, but it’s clear that the battle over blame and family loyalty is a point of contention. Savannah’s assertion that Lindsie has “stabbed the family in the back” in relation to the court case has only deepened the rift, with Lindsie responding by emphasizing the personal losses she has faced. “If [Savannah] feels the need to blame me to move forward with her life and responsibilities, that’s OK,” Lindsie said on Coffee Convos, “However, I think that it is also showing a lack of empathy for others when you act like you are the sole person that lost two parents.”

As the feud drags on, it is becoming clear that neither sister is willing to back down, with their deeply rooted differences becoming more apparent with every public statement. Lindsie’s plea for privacy and her decision to no longer engage in unhealthy behaviors represents a pivotal moment in this ongoing saga. It highlights her desire for peace, a stark contrast to Savannah’s openness in sharing her feelings with the public.

In the end, this family’s drama is far from over, and the continued fallout from the legal battles, personal betrayals, and public feuds promises to be a major point of contention for years to come. While Savannah seems to be seeking validation and attention through public discussions of her feelings, Lindsie’s choice to step back from the spectacle may ultimately give her the peace and clarity she so desperately desires. The question remains: Will the two ever find common ground, or will their differences continue to tear them apart for good?
