'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.

It very much alarms me, and I'm just going to leave it at that,' she stated.

Savannah Chrisley cuts ties with sister Lindsie in new trailer; says, 'Lose our last name'
The Chrisley family's internal rift continues to play out publicly, with the longstanding feud between sisters Savannah and Lindsie Chrisley taking center stage in the trailer for their upcoming reality show, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, premiering September 1 on Lifetime. In the emotional teaser, Savannah, 27, alludes to a letter her older sister Lindsie allegedly wrote to the FBI, a move Savannah suggests was a betrayal during one of the family's darkest chapters. 'We're no longer family. Lose our last name,' Savannah states, referencing the turmoil that followed their parents' high-profile legal battle. Grayson Chrisley echoes his sister's sentiments, remarking, 'I mean, your blood will screw you over more than a stranger definitely will.' These remarks highlight just how deep the fractures within the Chrisley household have become since the legal downfall of Todd and Julie Chrisley. Todd and Julie were convicted in November 2022 on 12 counts including bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion, leading to a combined prison sentence of 19 years. Although their sentences were later slightly reduced, the conviction took a heavy toll on the family. Todd's appeal was upheld, while Julie's initial reprieve was later overturned, reinforcing the weight of their legal troubles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo In the show's trailer, matriarch Nanny Faye offers a poignant reflection on the family's current state, gesturing with her hands to show how distant they've all become: 'This family's been torn apart.' Lindsie, meanwhile, has shared her perspective on her estrangement from the family and the baggage that comes with the Chrisley name. On a recent episode of her podcast The Southern Tea, she opened up about her decision to distance herself from the legacy — and from the name itself. 'For a long time, I very much battled with carrying my maiden last name,' she said, noting that the association has brought more burden than benefit. Despite the public perception that the Chrisley surname opened doors, Lindsie asserts it did the opposite. 'It 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,' she explained. While Savannah remains devoted to protecting her parents' legacy and navigating the family's fractured dynamics, Lindsie is carving a path that further separates her from her reality TV past — and from her siblings. With the family now back in the public eye following Todd and Julie's release from prison — a development made possible through a pardon by former President Donald Trump, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality is poised to offer a raw and emotional look into how fame, legal troubles, and internal disputes have left deep and lasting scars on a once-unified household. As Savannah admits in the trailer: 'I told my parents I don't know if it can ever be repaired, honestly.' The Chrisleys' journey continues, but reconciliation still feels out of reach.
