According to Savannah, reality TV was not good for their family dynamic.
“Then when the show came about I feel like there was jealousy … there was a whole bunch of things that were involved,” she explained.
That’s not all though. The influencer also claimed that her older siblings helped the court prosecute the Chrisleys in their recent fraud trial.

“The oldest two were also involved in my parents’ criminal case … they worked with the government, there is a lot of proof to show that,” Savannah stated. “And so at that point, I’m done.”
The podcaster continued, “My loyalty is to my parents and to the people who have always been there for me and loved me and showed up for me. They’re not in the picture at all.”
She does not believe that she owes anything to Kyle and Lindsie.
“Just because you’re family doesn’t mean I have to be the punching bag or I have to take unhealthy behavior just because we’re blood-related,” Savannah declared.
The reality star does not seem to have any questions about her decision.
“I’m a firm believer that I have friends who have been better family to me than some of my own family members,” she detailed. “At the end of the day, the hurt didn’t start with me but it can stop with me.”
Lindsie has said that she does not want to discuss their falling out in the public eye.
