Lindsie Chrisley Talks About Controlling Daddy

On a recent episode of The Southern Tea podcast, Lindsie talked about her controlling daddy. She recalled a time from her childhood when Todd would dress up Lindsie and Kyle in fancy clothes. He dictated everything they would do and say. One fan mentioned it on the Chrisley Knows Best subreddit.

Todd wanted his family to look “picture perfect,” even when they weren’t in front of the camera. His apparent mental illness affected his children. Fans already had a feeling this family was dysfunctional. Yet, they didn’t know it got this bad.

“That’s truly sad. The family is dysfunctional but the root of it all is their father. Empathy for the kids and how they had to adapt but as adults you have to learn and choose to break the cycle. Everyone has dysfunction – some are worse than others,” one fan noted.

Todd Chrisley Wants A Perfect Family?

One fan brought up an article from Todd Chrisley’s first wife. She shared the details of their marriage. He wanted everything to look just right. She was so tired of the emotional abuse — especially when things didn’t make him happy.

Some fans defended Kyle and Lindsie. They might be the outcasts of the family, but they probably received the brunt of the toxicity during their childhood.

There were times when Julie said that Todd would treat Lindsie like a “little doll.” Kyle might’ve felt ignored because he was the older son.

Savannah has echoed similar sentiments. She admitted that she always had to be “on” and “perfect” all the time. It’s possible that Todd Chrisley put so much pressure on her that she couldn’t handle it.

Some fans noted that Savannah’s suicide attempt happened when Lindsie was still living at home. Savannah might feel that she was being left out because Todd paid more attention to Lindsie at the time. After Lindsie left, Todd was in mourning for a month, Julie has said in the past.

Fans think Todd Chrisley has mental issues. He brought those issues onto his family. He has a problem where he wants to have control and things to go his way. Thankfully, his family gets to have a break from him after the mental distress he’s caused them.
