Lindsie Chrisley is breaking her silence.
After her parents Todd and Julie Chrisley were pardoned by President Donald Trump on May 27, the 35-year-old Southern Tea podcast host — who is Todd’s eldest child from a previous marriage — is addressing the matter for the first time.
“With God all things are possible,” Lindsie wrote in a simple post shared to her Instagram Stories.Lindsie Chrisley reacts to Todd and Julie’s pard
Trump, 78, pardoned the longtime couple after they served two and a half years of their since-reduced 19-year sentence. They reported to prison in January 2023 but have continued to appeal their case ever since.
“It’s a terrible thing, but it’s a great thing, because your parents are going to be free and clean,” Trump said to the couple’s children, including Savannah Chrisley, via phone call. “I hope we can do it by tomorrow. … I don’t know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good luck.”
Two months before they were pardoned, Lindsie touched on her ongoing estrangement with Todd, 57, and Julie, 52, on an episode of her Southern Tea podcast as she revealed the last time she saw them.

“The last time I visited my dad probably was … was it the beginning of last year? I can’t even honestly remember,” Lindsie said.
“[Nanny Faye and I] used to go together when they first went [to prison],” she continued. “It was just like, [a] more comfortable situation for both of us to go when they both of us stay in a hotel together. I have never been to Lexington to visit Julie.”
She added, “I have not seen my dad in quite some time and I have had no contact. And that’s all I’m going to say for that.”
