Lindsie Chrisley 'Not Interested' in Reconciling With Dad Todd (Exclusive)

what do you think it would take for reconciliation with your dad and also your family there's not there's not no there there will never be a reconciliation i think that um the most that anyone could ask for it at this point is for everyone to go on with their lives um as they see fit and to just leave the other side alone but at this point um there there will be no chance for reconciliation and unfortunately i'm going to continue to respond to whatever allegations are put out and i just want to make it clear in this interview that the only time i ever say anything is if i am responding to something if you want to speak and for whatever to be heard or believed then you have to be accepting of the fact that the other side is going to have something to say too i want to give you the opportunity right now if your dad was watching what would you say to him what message do you have for todd i don't have leave me alone leave me alone let me live my life i'm tired i'm over it um i thought that i had moved on from that part of my life and it seems week after week that something else is dredged up for whatever reason or whatever agenda is being pressed that week and i'm just tired of it leave me alone i wanted to start with your post from july 27th and that's of course you announcing that you and your husband were splitting after nine years together i mean first of all how are you holding up you know i think it would be a lie if i said i wasn't sad some days and happy some days you know some days you wake up and it's gonna be a great day and then some days you wake up and you're all in your feels and i'm just trying to take it day by day um i have a little one you know he's eight years old but we're trying our best to do it together and to understand each other's feelings um and just navigate this with jackson in the best way possible but also by taking care of ourselves too absolutely now are you still in communication with jackson's dad like what is your house how would you describe your guys's relationship now i wouldn't say that there's been a huge change in communication the communication just looks differently you know now we're co-parenting and we're learning how to navigate that and learning what proper boundaries are and trying to really set those and make sure you know that jackson knows that he's loved when he wants to see his dad when i have him i have allowed my door to be open because i feel that that is healthy right now for the transition and as long as we can continue to get along and i'm really proud of what we're doing so i think that that's not going to change well it sounds like there's no bad blood then between you two at all there's amazing what would you say led to this decision i would say not one single action led to this decision it was over a period of time ultimately we're just different people we want different things and you know we were 19 years old when we fell in love and now we're i'm almost 32 and life just looks very different and that's okay it's taken a lot for us to realize that and accept that that's been really hard so obviously you know there comes the decision to split and then there comes the decision to make it public and to make that announcement and you just know i'm sure that that opens you up to some scrutiny from fans followers but also family and your dad did take to instagram uh following your divorce announcement and he said that his support for you was quote biblically based what did you make of that because he has me blocked on social media i was just a little confused by the post there's been many exchanges and um we have each other's personal numbers so i feel that if it was something that was from a genuine place then it should have been private and not on instagram so your dad never reached out to you privately after you announced you're getting divorced no okay well he did talk about it on his podcast as well were you surprised by his reaction there you know i get bits and pieces of what happens on his podcast um through therapy over the last year i had just been advised by my therapist to not tune in to not follow along on social media things that were being posted because it's triggering to me and so i try to distance myself from that as much as possible however i was told many things that have been said and it's hard not to want to respond to those things because some of the things that have been said um either are just categorically false or maybe the intentions i don't feel are pure as you know he also did sit down with e.t and he did make some claims about you that i was hoping i could actually get your reaction to and maybe even add some clarification um you know todd said that you texted him around the time that you announced that you were getting a divorce i received a text message from lindsay about two weeks ago and i turned that over to our attorneys why um because we don't feel that it's safe to communicate i find it odd that anyone would go out here and make some of the statements that are allegedly said on the podcast things that have been posted over the years and then use the excuse of i don't feel comfortable or safe doing that will you feel safe speaking on me publicly so i feel that it would be in the best interest for everyone to be able to sit down and you know bring everything to the table and say you know this is what it is and let the pieces fall where they may um i have extended that courtesy multiple times and never been taken up on it so i think that speaks volumes do you feel like you've done things to harm your family that warranted him to make it so straightforward and be like you know what she texted and i actually just passed those over to our attorney well actually i believe that it was um it was made people were made to believe that it was multiple texts that were it was a singular text right and um the text had a direction to actually give it to his attorney so that's probably what i would have done as well and i think he knows that i wouldn't speak to him without attorneys present anyway so it was like protocol almost yeah right um you know in our interview with him todd described an emotional battle uh within you there was just some kind of emotional battle that lindsay has had within herself and you know jealousy with amongst her siblings any truth to that and where do things stand with you and your siblings now there is no jealousy what is there to be jealous of i moved away from something that i felt was toxic and not in my best interest and encouraged my own path i'm educated i have my own home i have a beautiful child i have a great life i have a life outside of the public eye that i truly value and there's nothing there's nothing to be jealous of because they're on a reality tv show i'm not envious of anyone who's on reality tv you just mentioned that you know it's up to people to believe what they want to believe do you feel like your siblings believe one example taught over you do you feel like your siblings have sided with him definitely there's there's been a line drawn in the sand and um participation from siblings to to go along with the story that is being sold to anyone who will listen that's unfortunate there's nothing i can really do about that and at the end of the day it's not it's not for me to care because i know i know what the truth is and i know what the majority of people who have watched my story and who have listened to me know that it's not hard to pick out the pieces of the puzzle and to make it match you know your lawyer is on the call with us and i don't want to get into the nuts and bolts of these allegations but of course in the past you have accused your dad and chase of extortion and blackmail and so i just wanted to ask where does that case stand right now that case is still an investigation what we're doing is we're making sure we have all our ducks in a row to make sure that lindsay is protected we've provided the information and communication that we have to law enforcement and uh are ready for any questions about it from law enforcement or the public lindsay let me ask you this how do you move on from that when it comes to your relationship with your family if at all i'm not interested whatsoever um truthfully it's something that i probably and this sounds crazy but it's true it's something i probably could have moved past had people been honest about the entire situation and how it unfolded at this point do you still talk to anyone in the family i don't you don't no can i ask do you miss them in some ways i think yes because you know that's your family but then in a lot of ways i feel like it's a lot healthier for me to be where i'm at i need to protect my peace and i don't want to be drug up in drama all of the time and i don't and unfortunately i have been the person that drama is always surrounding because i'm not a part of them you know and so i'm the outsider looking in so i'm always the target in the last five years had i known what i know today i never would have done the show really because i feel like i'm still dealing with things from when i was on the show so many years ago i haven't been on chris leno's best since 2017. right and i still feel like i'm pigeonholed into some of those storylines and get messages all the time for people seeing reruns or you know whatever um that it's just not me and so there's been a lot of learning lessons and it's not for the faint of heart to live their life publicly because you do feel like you owe people an explanation to a degree and um for that i wish that that was different but unfortunately it's not and um you just have to make the best of it i mean how do you think your life and your relationship with your family would be different had you not done the show that's an interesting question and um i actually didn't have a relationship with my family prior to the show so when that opportunity came to fruition it was like everybody came together to do this and didn't know what was going to happen with it and then you know it was like this one big happy family but up until that point i was just a college student living with my boyfriend and had no communication with my dad or his wife whatsoever you know your dad also had a message for you in the podcast too like i mentioned saying that he was there for you there for jackson whenever he needs him well one they don't know my son so i don't i don't know how you could be there for someone that you don't know they haven't he hasn't seen my son since he was four years old and he's gonna be nine at the end of december together was that was that your decision or was that his that was my decision yeah um and i feel validated in that and i don't need public validation you know to to make that type of decision because ultimately i'm jackson's mother absolutely but with that being said um i don't see how you say some of the things that are said but then in the same breath say that um you know you're there you're there for this person it's um it's a bit calculated and manipulating i think you
