Chapter 1: 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?
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: How did the Chrisley family end up with a reality TV show?
And that just made it really, really hard. So... I always ask production, hey, like when we are doing these heavier scenes, can we please schedule the interviews that are consistent with these scenes that you guys are going to need during that week? Because once that scene is over... emotionally you go through all these emotions and especially with like divorce, right?
So I was so back and forth with my ex-husband that I didn't even really know if it's what I wanted. It felt like it was the right thing that I needed to do. And I knew that I needed to make some type of forward progress. Right. So even if it was the wrong choice, at least I was walking through those emotions and it didn't feel permanent because it's like, okay, well, this is just a divorce filing.
If I really don't want this, I don't have to follow through with it, but I'm going to see how I feel once I file for it. I leave, we're disconnected, all of these things. I go and do this scene and it's not until seven days later that they filmed the interview and I I'm already like, I don't think I want to get divorced.
Right. I'm totally switched.
Yeah. You need to catch it in the moment. Like not. Yeah. Like the diary cam, I feel like would have been great for something like that to kind of follow the, the following days of that instead of doing a sit down interview. And so I get into it with production because I'm like, I'm not in the same place as what I was when I did that scene.
and therefore this does not feel authentic, and I'm a fraud for coming on here and saying what I am currently saying so that it matches with this scene. Yeah, because now I'm lying. Now I'm lying.
And the production wanted you, obviously, to pretend that you were still wanting the divorce and stuff. Oh, for sure. Yeah, that is... So, okay, so you and your husband got divorced, but did you think the show had a role to play in that at all?
I don't. I think some of... Just my actions, my mindset, the life that I was living versus what he was living was just not aligning. And do I think that we would be divorced today if I never got into entertainment? No, I don't think we would.
Really?
