Lindsie Landsman, the eldest daughter of Todd Chrisley, is finally speaking out about her family amid the launch of Lifetime’s The Chrisleys: Back To Reality.
Known for her five-season stint on USA Network’s hit Chrisley Knows Best, Landsman is using her podcast to reveal the drama and blackmail she allegedly endured from her own family.
The Lifetime documentary, which premiered recently, highlights the many struggles faced by the Chrisley family, including Lindsie, who has been largely estranged from her parents. But according to Landsman, the show paints an inaccurate picture.
“I never had any intention of doing this. The Lifetime documentary of my family came out… and a lot of the things that were aired were inaccurate depictions of what has transpired,” she said.
Landsman, who recently changed her name, is set to discuss the family drama in a three-part series across her podcasts “The Southern Tea” and “Coffee Convos,” which she co-hosts with Teen Mom star Kail Lowry. The first episode drops October 22 on “The Southern Tea,” followed by a second on “Coffee Convos” on October 23. A third part, featuring exclusive content on Patreon, will air October 24, with the full audio releasing October 29.
According to Landsman, she has been threatened into silence, blamed for things she didn’t do, and blackmailed by members of her own family. Her allegations are serious: she reportedly contacted Georgia’s Department of Revenue and the FBI following her father’s indictment and even sought a restraining order against him. She has claimed that Todd attempted to exploit her and allegedly threatened to release a private sex tape if she did not lie on his behalf in court.
Her siblings have publicly responded to her claims. On the Lifetime special, Savannah Chrisley stated, “The prosecutors read the letter Lindsie wrote to the FBI. We’re no longer family.” Chase Chrisley added, “If your blood will screw you over, then a stranger definitely will.”
Landsman is using her podcasts to share her side of the story and provide context that the documentary allegedly left out. She promises to reveal the emotional and psychological toll the family feud has taken on her life, as a daughter, a woman, and a mother striving to protect her peace and reclaim her narrative.
“I will share my truth,” Landsman said. The conversations will be backed by never-before-seen documentation, including legal letters, emails and filings, offering a more complete picture of the events she endured.
