Todd Chrisley’s daughter Lindsie Chrisley has shared an update about the state of her relationship with her parents as they continue to serve their prison sentences for fraud and tax evasion.
Speaking about the tense topic on the latest episode of her podcast, Southern Tea, she revealed that she hasn’t been to see her father Todd for over a year.
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old said she never been to visit her step-mom Julie Chrisley in the more than two years that the reality star has been in prison.
She candidly stated: ‘The last time I visited my dad probably was … was it the beginning of last year? I can’t even honestly remember.
Lindsie continued: ‘[Nanny Faye and I] used to go together [to see my dad] when they first went [to prison].
‘It was just like, [a] more comfortable situation for both of us to go [and] stay in a hotel together. I have never been to Lexington to visit Julie.’

Todd and his wife Julie were found guilty of committing tax evasion and bank fraud totaling $30 million in June 2022
Todd and his wife Julie were found guilty of committing tax evasion and bank fraud totaling $30 million in June 2022.
Chrisley’s 12-year sentence was reduced to 10 years, while his wife’s seven-year sentence was cut to 14 months.
She has been a prisoner at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky since January 2023.
Lindsie admitted: ‘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.’
Todd welcomed Lindsie and her brother, Kyle, during his first marriage to Teresa Terry and Julie adopted both of them when she and Todd wed.
The two children were notably around during in the early days of Chrisley Knows Best, but it seems Lindsie’s relationship with them has been strained ever since Todd and Julie’s prison sentence.
Lindsie’s comments came after her younger sister Savannah Chrisley admitted that visiting her parents in prison is ‘really tough.’
The 26-year-old television personality – who recently talked about the poor conditions endured by her father – opened up on her Unlocked podcast about her two recent visits with her parents.

She said that she has found that the process has actually gotten tougher when visiting her mother Julie, 51, who is serving her prison sentence in a different facility than 55-year-old husband Todd.
Savannah explained: ‘I used to say I think it would get easier as time goes on, but I really think that’s a lie.
‘I think I was lying to myself to make myself feel better because it does get harder. It gets harder each time you leave, and you know you’re leaving them behind.’
It wasn’t just leaving her parents that she had trouble navigating, as Savannah also admitted to having a ‘really tough’ time watching other families visit their loved ones in prison.
Savannah continued: ‘It truly does just break a lot of families.
‘And a lot of families don’t have the resources to maybe get the help that they so desperately need or that they’re searching for or they may not have the guidance.’
She did say that her separate visits with her parents have actually aided in spending quality time with them in addition to helping in bringing her clarity regarding her life.
The Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens actress said: ‘I love my one-on-one time, but also, we get to have really intentional conversations.
‘I find myself just kind of reflecting on a lot of things in life, and just things as a kid, and we just get to have conversations that I feel like we’ve needed to have for a really long time.’
