Lindsie Chrisley was on Dr.Phil today talking about the rift with her family after Chrisley Knows Best began taping. Lindsie said the rift in the family began when she went to college and began dating her future husband. Todd did not approve of the relationship. Apparently, her step mother got into some sort of physical confrontation with her as well. Julie Chrisley isn’t the nice person she appears to be on the show.
After his federal charges, Todd and Savannah both said horrible things about her on social media. Todd is just a horrible person. So is Savannah. Todd asked to meet with Lindsie in Chattanooga. She thought maybe he wanted to make amends. Instead, it seems he wanted her to lie for him. Lindsie said she has nothing to do with her parents investigation.
Lindsie is uncertain about whether or not Chase has some sort of sex video of her on a puppy cam. Lindsie say she had no communication with any of her family during the years of the alleged charges. She literally has nothing to contribute to any testimony one way or the other. She hopes that they don’t have to go to prison. That said, the case seems pretty air tight. They did pay off the Georgia Department of Revenue and go that tax issue resolved. Dr. Phil says the feds don’t bring cases they can’t win.
Lindsie’s family seems to be just scum of the earth. She has absolutely not to do with their criminal charges, and has nothing to testify to for or against. They literally do not talk to Lindsey ever unless they are threatening her on social media.
Damn, I feel for her. It sucks to have scumbags as “family”. At least, it sounds like Lindsie survived that mess and wants a better life now.
I’m glad I never got into that show when it was on USA. I always sensed “something in the buttermilk ain’t clean” with Todd and Julie.
I wish USA would cancel it. I think it’s an embarrassment for southerners. I am sick of him bringing the Lord into his declarations. He’s always declaring what the Lord will do for them because he’s innocent and everyone else is in the wrong…the feds, the state of GA, the state employee who investigated them, Lindsie, or how the former employee manufactured all the feds’ evidence. The list goes on and on. I think he is a snake. I think it’s disgusting the way he has publicly smeared Lindsie and made her out to be a whore.
What father talks about his daughter like that on social media?
I agree. Todd Chrisley gives ALL Christians a bad name with his deceitful, sanctimonious behavior. I’ve only seen the show a handful of times, but was shocked reading all of the horrible accusations the family made against Lindsie. You could tell Dr. Phil was also appalled by the family ganging up on Lindsie via SM. She came across as a very level-headed girl who just wanted to clear her name. I hope they are prosecuted for whatever crimes they’ve committed and that farce of a show gets canceled. Horrible family!
I agree with you, I definitely think Dr Phil was appalled. He didn’t relate to a father saying those things regarding their child. Children look to parents for protection. I can understand somewhat when there is mudslinging in a divorce, but not a parent on social media talking about his child cheating, who the men were, trying to make her look like a whore. This really sickens me. I have sons.One thing I told them was to treat girls with respect, to never go after a girl’s reputation. I think Todd is disgusting! Plus, based on what Todd posted publicly, I think it shows she is credible, that Todd truly was trying to threaten her. I’m a Christian, but I don’t believe in using the Lord to excuse repeated crimes and bad behavior. I cannot stand hypocrites. I have a family that will preach against the lottery and people who buy tickets, but then get on their college account page checking to see if their lottery scholarship money has been posted yet. I think Chase & Savannah are Todd’s minions just as Lindsie said.
It seems Chris was right. He overpaid in GA taxes for the years in question and they proved that tax guy was slimy mofo using his daughter. Don’t know about his Fed tax situation.
I’m sure Jesus will save him.
I am confused I thought the charges were dismissed last week?
The state charges in Georgia. Not the federal case
Wow, that’s a good recap and the interview with Dr. Phil is crazy. Her father is accusing her of having an affair with an IRS agent, meeting him secretly at Starbucks, and turning him in to the Feds. The story sounds ludicrous.
Doesn’t she do a podcast with one of the Teen Moms? She has attention seeking tendencies, like the rest of her family, but she actually seems genuine, unlike her Dad and step-mom. Todd showed himself as a horrible human when he made a statement that Lindsay had sex with 2 of the Bachelors. Their show seemed to be cute and harmless, but he has shown his true colors. I will never understand people with sketchy financial situations going on reality TV.
I think the podcast was with Kailyn from Teen Mom 2. I asked about this when TT first reported on this. Do you know how they met? It just seemed an odd connection and I was curious.
Sketchy people with financial situations go on tv because they are narcissist who believe they are doing nothing wrong. Todd believes all the negative is someone else’s fault. He has taken zero responsibility for his own actions. Teresa Guidice is an great example. She “went away’, she can’t say she went to prison. She still has failed to admit she did illegal activity. She is a narcissist.
This whole family is a fake as a three-dollar bill – something has always seemed WAY OFF with them. One minute they’re opening a fashion store, the next they’re moving to a new city, the next they’re traveling all over the world, the next they’re going to LA to get another round of plastic surgery – all while none of them have any visible means of income outside their tired ol’ show. And they are all pitiful “actors” to boot.
I feel for Lindsie but she is not the only one who can’t seem to get along with Todd. He is the messiest of messy queens. Dr. Phil is correct – the feds don’t bring charges without significant proof on multiple grounds. The episode has already aired here and I missed it so I am hoping to catch it online. I wonder how much Dr. Phil paid Lindsie to appear on his show to discuss all this drama…
When you call Todd “messy queen” I have to agree. He has that queen vibe of a man who is closeted even to himself and expresses it with his small-minded meanness. He is NOT a man in touch with feminine qualities, that is something I admire; not a gay man, I respect however a person swings; he is a dishonest, self-righteous, bloviating (my new fave word), hate-spewing hypocrite. I can barely stand to watch him on shows making fun of him.
ITA. He has some very deep-seated anger that comes out sideways and he isn’t fooling anybody but himself. Just tired of it all with this southern charlatan and all others who make us southerners look like stupid grifters out to see what we can get away with. I guess now we know why they are in a new house every season…runnin’ from the law. Allegedly.
If you have the OWN channel, it’s on again Monday. I just set my DVR
I’m so glad you posted about this. I just read comments elsewhere where people are still ripping into her. It PISSES me off!!! Todd is a scumbag. Julie is fake! Chase & Savannah truly are Todd’s minions as Lindsie said. The feds do not indict w/o substantial evidence. Todd showed what a POS he is w/all of his social media posts. I definitely believe Lindsay about all of the threats. Todd posted info publicly about her affairs. I don’t care about the affairs. Lindsie & Will had issues in the past & were even separated for awhile. That’s disgusting though for a father to make public comments and hash tag info about her bed, who’s been in it, initials of the two bachelors, thanking God for puppy cams. I think that shows he’s been making threats. He is a vile piece of shit!
It is not normal protocol for a IRS agent to text the family member the messages that Lindsay was sent. A lot more to this story.
Wow, this is all kinds of twisted and sad. This is one show that I nor my kids ever got into watching. Something just always felt inauthentic and creepy about them. And that’s saying a lot given that I have watched all the housewives franchises at one point or another. I feel so badly for Lindsie, but she can count her blessings that she is not like the rest of them. Do we know where her mother is and if she’s normal and has a relationship? Gawd I hope so! She’s a really pretty young lady FWIW.
I want to go drinking and gambling with Nanny Faye.
I do too. I love Nanny Faye.
Fathers are supposed to PROTECT daughters…I don’t know who is or isn’t lying/embellishing, but Todd’s accusations crossed a line he can’t come back from. That relationship is severed.
Smh what kills me is when people go on and on on about oh he is your father/mother you can’t be mad and or alienate yourself from them. A Mom or Dad and or family like this is overrated. Parents also have obligations to do right by their children for the unspoken mutual respect. And not take the position of ” I am the parent so everything I say goes”. When your kids start
to resent you there is no way back sometimes. If they as parents can’t be there for you who will? Relationships must be based on substance not just on titles only.
Perfectly stated!
I don’t really watch this show but this Todd character sounds creepy af.
When Todd and his wife are sitting in jail, Lindsie should be able to finally rest. That said, it is highly unusual for the state tax employee to text Lindsie. Maybe he has a crush on her but something doesn’t pass the smell test. Also, unfortunately, she is DNA related to Todd and that’s not a good thing. There’s messiness all around. Lindsie, if truly is embarrassed, shouldn’t be on Dr Phil or anyone’s else’s show. They all just use her to talk about Todd. When is enough enough?
Lindsie said that she texted with the Georgia Revenue employee because Lindsie’s son was somehow involved in her parents tax situation like maybe they were trying to claim him or something? Anyway, she never met with the guy, it was something to do with her kid. It does seem very odd that the employee was talking about his caseload with Lindsie for over a year. That said, I was contacted by a Georgia Revenue employee with this case first started and informed of their tax issues and how they lied about living in Florida.
Thanks for this explanation. You can eloquently snark and day and night drink and crack us up to no end, but at the root, you are a true journalist. I respect ALL of what you do.
I was thinking she said she was talking to the official to protect her son, because he was at their house one time when legal papers were served and she didn’t want him around any of it and she wanted to know when they would be going around her dad’s house. To me it’s odd that after texting back and forth about the goings on of the case to be able to shield her son, she is now on Dr. Phil talking publicly about everything. Would she not want to keep as much private as possible to shield her son? She also was on their show for several seasons, with her son, so I just don’t get the sense that she is as genuine as she wants to seem. I do feel for her having such a toxic family, but she has profited handsomely from their platform on tv and now has a podcast with one of the more dramatic Teen Moms so she doesn’t seem to be shying away from the spotlight at all. Just doesn’t add up to me.
I agree with you. I watched a lot of chrisley knows best and Lindsie was happy to appear in many seasons…with her husband and then also without him while they were going through a divorce. I know reality TV is far from reality at times, but Lindsie appeared to have a somewhat happy and healthy relationship with her family during the seasons when she was on the show.
Now Lindsie is clearly distancing herself from Chrisleys while they go through these legal issues. I just find it hard to believe Lindsie had no idea her family was as shady as she is claiming them to be now.
As far as the sex tape scandal and the threats to expose it, I haven’t a clue about that. If Todd and chase really did that, I am disgusted!
I have learned that there is something fishy (PI) about people who flout their Christianity. Whenver Mom and I would go to a car repair with the Christian fish displayed, we would RUN out the door — after learning the hard way. My brither’s wife, the Succubus killing thief is “in JeSUS’s name” all day. My boss, the Cockalorum Steasel, had one of those fish bumperstickers and he was one of the most crooked people I’ve ever met, and I’ve known many druggies and felons. One of the worst and weirdest boyfriends I’d ever had (hint: never go out with a guy who is a child’s party musician or clown) was a Bible-thumping porn addict who decided sex before marriage was wrong but it was OK to spend his entire paycheck at the adult bookstore whacking off in the porn booth. And he defended his “secret” drug use saying the Bible didn’t say anything about not doing meth (it didn’t exist), only “drunkenness.” When I asked about Onanism, Mr. Bible Thumper didn’t know what that was! See a 🐟 or a 🤡 RUN! See a 🐠 AND a 🤡, call an exorcist.
I agree. I am open to all religions. It’s fine to mention Jesus from time to time. Or Allah or God. But there is a certain time of religious people, usually southern Baptist in my experience who are spouting about their righteousness and how saved and blessed and special they are that are in my experience the biggest assholes in the world.
So true! On the ID channel I’ve noticed an awful lot of the murder mystery stories involve “pastors” or “reverends” who’ve killed their wives. It’s usually because their religion frowns on divorce or the husband had some secret sex addiction. They’re the biggest hypocrites!
I have noticed a most disturbing pattern from these “religious” ppl. they use g-d’s name to wash their sins. The rules that have been made such as “confession” gives them a clean slate. Personally, they are the worse humans because while they screw ppl and laws, they crutch on religion to free their conscious. Terrible way to live, but it allows them to justify their sins…
No shade, just asking to be educated. Why do some people choose not to type God? I mean, it’s used THOUSANDS of times in the Bible. I mean I get if it was taken in vain, but I feel like God might prefer you use his name when discussing him. What am I missing here?
Yep. I have that kind of southern baptist in my family. Would not eat or shop in a restaurant or store where liquor was sold….until we got new restaurants & Kroger started selling liquor. Couldn’t believe in Santa Claus because he is a lie, and try to ruin it for my kids. Couldn’t go out trick or treating but could dress up and pass out candy. Don’t believe in the lottery and are against people who buy tickets, but accept that lottery scholarship. But will bend your ear with gossip about everyone they know.
I’d like to stress that it is not all Southern Baptists, or religious people. Or even MOST of them. But the few bad apples on their high holy horses are rotten to the core.
The family creeps me out and Bravo has been running a lot of their episodes in mini marathons. I am over Chrissley AND Below Deck over and over every single day!!
THERE ARE OTHER CHANNELS WITH FANTASTIC SHOWS! Start with David Makes Man On OWN. It’s a bit heavy and some episodes are…. very…. poetic and mixed with a bit of fantasy… BUT IT IS FANTASTIC.
People have mentioned religion in this thread. Had to share. I absolutely kid you not, a friend’s brother had a boyfriend break up with him because he “couldn’t handle that they wouldn’t see each other in Heaven.” Friend is Jewish… and boyfriend thought he wouldn’t go to Heaven. As my friend pointed out, he neglected to think that his Southern Baptist Gay self ALSO would be on that “not going to heaven” list after after they’d been sleeping together for months) My friend was more graphic than that… but it was honestly when my buddy really became an ally!!!
I do think that I can’t trust what the daughter and Dr. Phil have discussed.. they are as much of a hot mess as the rest of the fam.
