Chrisley Knows Best

Todd Chrisley’s Daughter Lindsie Chrisley Allegedly Played Key Role In His Downfall!

Todd Chrisley has gone through months of protesting his innocence amid evidence of his financial crimes.  And most recently, the Chrisley Knows Best star and his wife Julie Chrisley received hefty prison sentences. But now a new report alleges that his daughter Lindsie Chrisley helped to bring about her father’s downfall.

Find out about the alleged role that Lindsie played. And learn how the FBI reportedly got involved. Get all the details below.

Lindsie Chrisley – Allegedly Told FBI About Dad Todd’s Crimes!

A new report points to Lindsie Chrisley as a key player in bringing about the downfall of her father Todd Chrisley. And that includes her alleged role in his 12-year prison sentence. Lindsie, 33, told the FBI she felt fearful of Todd’s alleged blackmail, harassment, and violence, reported the Daily Mail.

The oldest daughter of Todd claimed that he warned her that he would leak her sex tape if she failed to lie for her father. And in her interview with the FBI, Lindsie also made other allegations that reportedly helped to bring about Todd’s fraud case charges. However, the new report also underscores a distinction between Lindsie’s public statements and FBI allegations. 

In public, Lindsie has shared that she feels heartbroken over Todd’s prison sentence. And she claimed to feel just as sad about the behind-bars future of her stepmother Julie Chrisley. The two face a combined 19 years in prison. But as Todd’s and Julie’s younger kids gather around the Chrisley Knows Best patriarch, 53, and matriarch, 49, Lindsie has stayed away.

Lindsie Chrisley – Filed Multiple Reports Against Dad Todd

Insiders as well as official documents indicate that Lindsie filed several different reports against her father. For instance, she reportedly contacted Georgia’s Department of Revenue (GDOR). And Lindsie also filed a report against Todd with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department. In addition, she provided the FBI with an interview that included her allegations against her father, such as physical violence. 

Lindsie allegedly claimed that Todd threatened to release a sex tape of her. That video, reportedly purchased by her half-brother, Chase, would get leaked if Lindsie failed to lie for her father, according to her allegations. But an insider claims that Lindsie had initially contacted the GDOR in 2017. That call came in the wake of Todd and Julie getting served with their state case. 

And Lindsie started out by worrying about how her father’s criminal investigation would impact her and her son Jackson, now age 10. But a source shared, “Then she just started saying what a horrible person her father was and how sick and tired she was of him and Julie getting away with stuff. She wanted everyone to know they were just the worst people. She called regularly and spoke with Josh Waites (Director of the Office of Special Investigations at GDOR).”

Todd Chrisley – Allegedly Harassed And Intimated Daughter Lindsie Chrisley

Lindsie reportedly provided details to Waites that he followed up on. And she then allegedly “called the FBI and US Probation to report that Todd was harassing and intimidating her. As the investigation went on Todd suspected she had spoken and was calling her a snake and saying things like she ‘needed to be careful,'” according to the insider.

However, in 2019, Lindsie then reached out to the FBI. And in a confession that took place after Todd and Julie received federal indictments on eight counts of fraud and two counts of tax evasion, she described herself as “truly afraid.” In a plea for a follow-up, Lindsie added, “There’s been some concerning things that Chase (sic) has been posting and I’m worried.”

Lindsie then asked the FBI to follow up with her. And she shared, “These are very suggestive – maybe I’m just truly afraid, but this is insane.” In her subsequent meeting with the FBI, Lindsie reportedly revealed that she remained estranged from Todd from age 19 throughout college. And she claimed that her father contacted her only to play a role in his reality TV show, Chrisley Knows Best.

But in recent weeks, Lindsie reportedly has ended her estrangement. And now she allegedly supports her father and stepmother. The duo will report to prison on January 17. Todd will spend 12 years behind bars, and Julie received a seven-year prison sentence.
