Lindsie Chrisley isn’t on the best terms with dad Todd Chrisley — or his wife Julie Chrisley — as they serve time behind bars.
During the Wednesday, March 19 episode of her “Southern Tea” podcast, Lindsie, 35, tried to recall the last time she saw Todd, 55, and Julie, 52, who are in prison for charges relating to bank and wire fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy.
“The last time I visited my dad, probably … was it the beginning of last year?” Lindsie said. “I can’t even honestly remember.”
Lindsie explained that she initially went with her grandmother “Nanny” Faye Chrisley to see Todd. “It was just like [a] more comfortable situation for both of us to go … [and] stay in a hotel together,” she explained. “I have not seen my dad in quite some time and I have had no contact. And that’s all I’m going to say for that.”

When it comes to Julie, Lindsie admitted she has “never been to” her stepmother’s prison. Todd and Julie were first indicted in 2019 on charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. After being found guilty in 2022, Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and his wife received a seven-year sentence. While their sentences were reduced in September 2023 by nearly two years. the couple have maintained their innocence.
Lindsie has had a lot of ups and downs with her family. They were most recently on good terms in 2022.
“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 in May 2023. “Finally, I have been able to communicate over [the Kentucky 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.”
Lindsie previously revealed that sister Savannah Chrisley asked her not to attend Todd and Julie’s appeals in summer 2024.

“My sister privately let the message get to us that she did not want us present at the hearing. And it was shared with me that if we were there, there would be issues and that we would be asked to leave,” Lindsie shared in 2024. “It’s mindblowing to me, the control and manipulation. It very much alarms me and I’m just going to leave it at that.”
Lindsie referred to her current relationship with Savannah, 27, as “nothing.”
Shortly after, Savannah addressed the situation during an Instagram Stories Q+A, where she revealed that she told Lindsie that “she was not wanted” and their father “did not want her there and that he didn’t care to have a relationship with her.”
“I said all of these things. I am more than happy that I said them and it’s my parents’ appeal. They have the right to say who they want there and who they don’t,” Savannah wrote via Instagram Story, claiming their father “did not want her there and that he didn’t care to have a relationship with her.”
