<p id=”par-1_79″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/todd-and-julie-chrisley-opted-for-2-different-fast-food-meals-after-leaving-prison.html/”>Todd and Julie Chrisley’s presidential pardon</a> may have reunited them with most of their children, but the family estrangements remain strong. Todd’s eldest daughter from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/”>his first marriage,</a> Lindsie, shocked fans when she quietly changed her name from Chrisley to Landsman. She opened up about the decision on her podcast, but an insider claims Todd Chrisley isn’t buying her reasoning. The father of five has been publicly critical of his daughter in the past, so negative feelings aren’t surprising.</p>

<p id=”par-2_71″>Lindsie Landsman opened up about her decision to change her name on her podcast, <em><a href=”https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-southern-tea/id1568540573″>The Southern Tea</a></em>. While fans initially assumed she had secretly married her boyfriend, David Landsman, that is not the case. The former reality TV star revealed that carrying the Chrisley name was hampering her career endeavors and saddling her with a stigma she was desperate to shake. She insists the Chrisley name never gave her more opportunities.</p>

<p id=”par-3_63″>Lindsie claims that she changed her name to “reclaim her peace” and move toward her future. While she insists that the decision to change her name from Chrisley to Landsman was not made with the intention of erasing her past, fans wouldn’t blame her if she was trying to do just that. Her relationship with her biological family has been rocky, at best.</p>
<p id=”par-4_91″>The eldest daughter of Todd Chrisley has had <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/chrisley-knows-best-lindsie-chrisley-opens-possibility-reconciliation-amid-parents-conviction.html/”>an incredibly strained relationship</a> with her father and stepmother for years. The tension has boiled over into public arenas on multiple occasions. Over the years, Todd Chrisley has publicly admonished his daughter and made accusations against her. He publicly lambasted Lindsie, calling her disrespectful, for marrying Will Campbell without his expressed approval. They split in 2021. He has accused his eldest daughter of being “jealous” of her younger sister, and he claimed she was the “catalyst” for his arrest on tax fraud charges.</p>

<p id=”par-5_53″>Lindsie Chrisley has also brought the tea to the public. The podcaster accused her father and brother of extortion over a sex tape in 2019. They denied the allegations. Lindsie remains estranged from the Chrisley family, with Todd telling <a href=”https://people.com/tv/todd-chrisley-explains-why-not-interested-sitting-down-estranged-daughter-lindsie/?utm_source=chatgpt.com”>People</a> he is not interested in having a “day-to-day” relationship with his adult child.</p>

<p id=”par-6_55″>Todd Chrisley has not spoken out publicly about Lindsie’s sudden name change. The property developer doesn’t actually follow the 35-year-old on social media, although his wife does. His children with his second wife don’t speak to her either, with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/savannah-chrisley-embraces-a-simplified-life-now-that-todd-and-julie-chrisley-have-been-pardoned.html/”>Savannah Chrisley </a>claiming they have no contact. Still, he apparently has private thoughts on the decision.</p>
<p id=”par-7_83″>An insider connected with <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/why-lindsie-chrisleys-family-isnt-shocked-by-her-name-change-excl/”>Us Weekly</a> and told the publication that the Chrisleys are eying Lindsie’s name change decision with suspicion. The insider claims the family isn’t “shocked” by the decision, but thinks the timing is strange. They claim the Chrisley family thinks the timing is “calculated” and that the name change isn’t a heartfelt one. Currently, Todd and Julie Chrisley appear focused on rebuilding their lives and returning to TV, so any public backbiting comments will likely be kept to a minimum.</p>
