What was Lindsie's life like before reality TV?
So how, how was life? Like how's everything going?
Um, wow. There's just been so much change since then. Um, I left reality TV. Okay. Um.
And why is that?
Why did Lindsie Chrisley leave the reality TV show?
I just made the choice personally for myself to step away from that. It wasn't serving my marriage well, which ultimately ended anyway. Okay. Oh, okay. My child was getting ready to start school, and I didn't want him filmed. There was no pay for my child on that show. Oh, yeah, no. And so that just accompanied with my parents having some legal issues that were going on. They went to trial, were convicted, and are both in federal prison now.
And is that your dad and your stepmom?
Yes.
So it's your stepmom, not your biological mom.
But she did adopt me.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, because to be honest, we don't really know anything about anything. I know Chris Lee knows best. I know all that stuff, but as far as the details, I don't know anything.
Yeah, so... I mean, obviously, I did see it in the media. I did see about your parents and all of that, but I didn't know the nitty-gritty of it all.
Yeah, and even that, though, I don't understand really what happened or what... Were you involved in all that? Or were you not talking to them?
Oh, in the legal stuff? No, I was not involved.
Okay, okay, got it.
I was not involved in that. It was just them. None of the kids were involved. I mean, involved in the sense of going to trial and stuff. We were all there. But as far as the legalities of the situation, my parents were indicted.
Okay. But how did all that start? Okay, take me back, because I don't know how, like, where... Whatever you feel comfortable with. Yeah, obviously. But, like, you know, Christy knows best. How did that even happen?
Yeah, I want to go from, like, to the beginning. Like, how did your family even... How did that ever even happen? How was reality TV brought up to them? Were you guys always a known family before that happened?
Yeah. I would say known in Atlanta, my dad as a businessman was known. But as far as like thoughts on TV was never, like we never saw that coming.
Yeah.
My dad went to New York Fashion Week and became friends with someone who was in the business of pitching shows for networks.
Okay. Yeah.
And she became privy to like a lot of family stuff that was going on in the intricacies of the family and the dynamic. And so he was asked if the family would shoot a sizzle reel and had no idea about anything about TV. So he's like, you got to tell me like more about this information. At that time, I was not even in communication with my parents. Oh, okay. How old were you about that time? I was in a sophomore in college at that point. So I guess what, like 19, 20 years old. My parents, I grew up in a very religious household, very conservative household. I lived at home for one year, my first year of college. And my dad had made a deal with me that if I got my grades and was able to maintain my college life, aka not drinking and not sleeping around, then they would buy me a condo.
So I kept up my end of the deal, go into my sophomore year, parents buy me a condo, and I started letting my boyfriend sleep over. And my dad found out about it. And he was like, that's not going to happen. So I made the decision for my own life. I'm an adult. Yeah. I'm doing this on my own. I went to school completely on scholarship. My parents paid nothing for that.
