Savannah Chrisley skewers sister Lindsie: ‘Lose our last name’

Savannah Chrisley is unlocking her truth.

The trailer for the 27-year-old and her family’s new reality series, “The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,” dropped on Thursday, in which she highlights the estrangement between their brood.

The Lifetime show, which premieres on Sept 1, will follow Savannah, her parents, Todd and Julie, and two of her brothers, Chase, Grayson, and Chloe (whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016). Nanny Faye will also be back, along with Julie’s parents, Harvey and Pam Hughes.

The project will highlight Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, navigating life after they “are eventually pardoned, released from prison and return home.”

And they are not holding back. In the five-minute trailer, the Chrisleys detail having their “own family members betray” them.

“The prosecutor read the letter Lindsie wrote to the FBI. We’re no longer family, lose our last name,” Savannah said of her older sister.

“I mean, if your own blood will screw you over, then a stranger definitely will,” Chase, 29, added.

“This family’s been torn apart. Because it was always like this and now it’s like this,” Nanny Faye explained. 

Todd and Julie were indicted in 2019, with federal prosecutors accusing them of submitting fake documents to banks in order to garner more than $30 million in loans. In 2022, the couple was found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion.

Todd received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie was sentenced to seven years. The pair has maintained their innocence.

“With my parents gone, our household is completely divided,” Savannah said in the trailer. “I told my parents I don’t know if it can ever be repaired, honestly.”

Despite Lindsie, 35, being on the outs with her family, she gave a subtle nod to her dad and stepmom after it was announced they were being pardoned by President Donald Trump in May.

Lindsie, whom Todd shares with his first wife, Teresa Terry, wrote on her Instagram Stories, “With God all things are possible.”

The podcast host previously starred alongside her family in 20 episodes of their 10-season reality show, “Chrisley Knows Best.”

Last month, Lindsie revealed she decided to drop her surname and go by her boyfriend’s last name instead.

After eagle-eyed fans noticed the mom-of-one changed her name on Instagram to “Lindsie Landsman,” she detailed the reason why.

“For a long time, I very much battled with carrying my maiden last name, and with me carrying that last name came public association,” she explained to listeners on her “Southern Tea” podcast.

Lindsie added that the popular moniker came with “assumptions of all different kinds, weight that I truly feel like I never asked for.” 

“And I do think it’s fair to say that contrary to what some people believe, the Chrisley last name, while it did start with ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ — and we all collectively were doing that project together — outside of that, that last name did not create income or opportunity for me,” she continued.

Lindsie admitted the last name “became very problematic with me being associated in any capacity, in business, and has been problematic for projects that I have done post-‘Chrisley Knows Best.’”

Now, the star is going by a name that feels right.

“You know, the big question is: ‘Are David and I married?’ And we are not married,” expressed Lindsie. “I feel that it is fair to say that he and I built a safe and loving relationship that allows for stability in my life and in Jackson’s life, and in this chapter, that name feels like home to me.”

This isn’t the first time, however, that the Chrisleys’ drama has played out publicly.

In 2023, Lindsie gave insight into her fractured relationship with Todd and Julie.

“There were some rumors that went around after our last podcast episode that the reason that I have not seen Julie was because she doesn’t want to see me, and that is just untrue,” she said on her podcast. “Finally, I have been able to communicate over [her prison’s] form of email for the first time, but also her email is very delayed. Dad’s is very different. You can send him an email and you will hear back within maybe two hours.”

A year later, Lindsie confessed that her relationship with Savannah is “nothing.”

“It’s mind-blowing to me, the control and manipulation. It very much alarms me, and I’m just going to leave it at that,” she stated.
