Chrisleys’ TV Comeback Exposes Deep Family Rifts and Fresh On-Air Denials

Fresh disclosures in Lifetime’s Back to Reality follow their May pardons, repositioning the family’s politics and narrative.

Overview

  • Savannah Chrisley said on Nightline that she hasn’t spoken to brother Chase “in I can’t tell you when,” though she stopped short of calling the relationship estranged.
  • The new series revisits the break with Lindsie Chrisley, with the family saying prosecutors read her letter to the FBI at sentencing and describing the revelation as a profound betrayal.
  • Julie Chrisley dismissed rumors about Todd’s sexuality with “I know who I’m married to,” as Todd again denied former associate Mark Braddock’s affair claims on camera.
  • Todd described the family as “socially liberal and fiscally conservative” and expressed gratitude to President Trump for their pardons, while Savannah’s high-profile advocacy has opened political discussions she says she is not rushing to pursue.
  • In a new People interview, Todd said he had been preparing a final season of Chrisley Knows Best before his 2022 conviction; the USA Network shows were canceled, and Lifetime’s Back to Reality is airing through Sept. 16.
