The Chrisley family reunion isn’t exactly a fairytale. Despite Todd and Julie’s recent freedom, Chase Chrisley is getting candid about the “nightmare” tension with sister Savannah that’s keeping him away from his parents.
NASHVILLE — Just months after Todd and Julie Chrisley walked free following a high-profile presidential pardon, the real drama is happening inside the family home. In the latest episode of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, Chase Chrisley, 29, dropped a bombshell about his “non-existent” relationship with his sister, Savannah, 28.
“It’s Beyond Awkward”
During a heart-to-heart with Nanny Faye, Chase didn’t hold back, admitting that while he sees his parents as much as possible, Savannah’s presence makes every visit a battlefield.
- The “Putin” Comparison: Chase took a sharp jab at his sister’s rigid demeanor, stating, “I can’t go over there as much as I want to because of Savannah… because she’s Vladimir Putin’s daughter.”
- Frozen Out: Chase claims he’s been effectively “excommunicated” from the inner circle since his parents went away. “She has no idea where I’m at… Savannah is a hypocrite. I love her, but stay out of my business.”
Savannah’s Side: “I Have to Love Myself”
Savannah, who stepped up as the family’s matriarchal figure during her parents’ 18-month stint in federal prison, sees things differently. In a recent Nightline interview, she confirmed the siblings haven’t spoken in a “long time.”
“He’s my brother and I love him,” Savannah shared, “but I also have to love myself.”
Insiders suggest the friction stems from Savannah’s disapproval of Chase’s lifestyle choices while their parents were incarcerated, leading to a “protection of peace” boundary that Chase clearly isn’t buying.
Todd Chrisley Lays Down the Law
The patriarch himself, Todd Chrisley, 57, isn’t playing favorites. In a stern confessional, Todd revealed he’s had “heated arguments” with Savannah over her refusal to reconcile.
“I told her, ‘You better get over your s*** because you can’t go out there and preach hypocrisy… fighting for the world when you won’t even fight for your own brother,'” Todd said.
Despite his frustration, Todd acknowledged that while Chase might be ready to say “I’m sorry,” Savannah isn’t in the same headspace yet. “This will not continue,” he concluded, “because I will not tolerate it.”
The Bottom Line
While Todd and Julie are back in the fold after their 2022 bank fraud and tax evasion convictions were overturned via pardon in May 2025, the “Chrisley Knows Best” era of unity seems long gone. For now, Chase and Savannah remain at a total standstill, proving that sometimes, prison bars are easier to break than sibling rivalries.
