On this week’s episode of Lindsie’sThe Southern Teapodcast, the eldest Chrisley family daughter expressed confusion over Savannah’s remarks, where theSpecial Forcesalum addressed their estrangement and alleged that it’s “110 percent true” that her big sister helped put their parentsToddandJuliein prison.
“My sister has never privately reached out to me to discuss her apparent issues with me and has publicly said several times that we have no relationship at all. … It’s nothing,” she continued. “So, why she has chosen to have a public conversation regarding me at every opportunity she is given, I will truly never understand that, but I hope it gives her whatever she is seeking from doing so.”

Lindsie also noted that Savannah — who hasbeen a vocal mental health advocate— “should maybe make sure that you aren’t harming someone’s mental health” when making statements publicly, suggesting it “seems a little bit contradictory for a person to do both of those things simultaneously.” Lindsie added that next week’sSouthern Teaepisode will feature her addressing the ongoing family drama alongside her attorney Musa Ghanayem.
“There has been a lot of public lashing out at each other,” Savannah said. “I find it funny because her so-called lawyer wants to say that I’m using her as a ‘punching bag’ for my emotions, which is not true at all because I go off of facts and I go off of you have interviews that she did with the FBI for two years — two years.”
“So, I’m going off the facts of it and I wholeheartedly believe she was a huge player in this whole fiasco,” she continued. “And, it just is what it is. At this point, I believe that family is not blood. Family can be some of your closest friends. Blood does not mean you are family to someone.”

Savannah claimed Lindsie’s “anger, bitterness and resentment” led her to allegedly give interviews to the FBI in their family’s legal battle. She additionally suggested that if Lindsie “couldn’t have the success that everyone else was having, then they weren’t going to have it either.”
Lindsie’s attorney previously told PEOPLE that she had “no ill will” for Savannah, adding, “She’s dealing with a lot andit doesn’t surprise me that she’s lashing out at Lindsie. I mean, some of the stuff that she’s saying with regard to her parents, that’s got to be out of anger because it’s not in fact.”
Meanwhile, Savannah — who is also not on speaking terms with big brotherKyle Chrisley— previously described her fallout with Lindsie as “very interesting,” telling PEOPLE thatshe doesn’t “do well with constant lies and victim mentality"and is “good” to no longer have a relationship with her sister.
“I have realized that as an adult, it’s my responsibility to have healthy relationships and cut out unhealthy ones,” she added. “And especially now with the two kids, it’s my job to protect them emotionally, physically, psychologically and I just don’t have room for people that don’t want to show up and show up in a healthy manner.”
