Lindsie Chrisleydid what she thought was best.
“It would almost come across, based off of the events that have taken place with myself and my sister, for me to post something because it would feel insincere,” Lindsie, 34, told co-hostKailyn “Kail” Lowryon PodcastOne’sCoffee Convos. “And I don’t think that we should be living for what we’re posting on social media. We should be living for what we’re doing and our lives personally outside of what the public knows.”
Lindsie also said her decision stemmed from seeing one of Kerdiles' sisters commenting on a media outlet’s Instagram post, expressing their dissatisfaction with seeing him being linked to Savannah, 26, despite his own accomplishments.
“I had just made a decision that I wasn’t going to say anything publicly at all about it because I felt like it was based off of what the sister said on there, that she didn’t want any association to be tied back to the family and they are grieving people,” she explained.

With that, Lindsie noted that Kerdiles — who was recently working asa Nashville realtor— “had a life long before” he became associated with Savannah. However, in coming to her sister’s defense, Lindsie said Savannah “had absolutely nothing to do” with the public linking her to Kerdiles in the wake of his death.
“She is also grieving, whether they were together now or whether they weren’t,” added Lindsie.
Kerdilesdied in a motorcycle accidenton Sept. 23 at the age of 29. At the time, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department toldWRKN News 2that the retired athlete ran through a stop sign in a residential area north of the Tennessee capital while on his motorcycle at roughly 3:30 a.m.
Savannahshared multiple emotional tributes honoring Kerdiles, the first of which was a Boomerang on her Instagram Story of the two sharing a sweet kiss.

“I’m still hoping you respond to my text…” she wrote above the clip before later sharing a beachside pic of the pair with the caption. “Heaven gained the most beautiful angel today … I miss and love you. I’ll forever save our last messages of ‘I love you.'”
TheUnlockedpodcast host eventually posted a more extensive tribute, noting howKerdiles’ untimely death “isn’t fair.”
“We had some really great, bright moments, and we had some really hard ones, but the part of our relationship I will hold on to will always be the moments in the middle,” she wrote, in part, in theInstagram post.
Before grieving the loss of her former beau, Savannah had been dealing with the ongoing fallout from big sister Lindsie.
Lindsie shared in June that sheblocked siblingsSavannah,Chase ChrisleyandGrayson Chrisleyon social mediafollowing a recent fight, but indicated that “everything is fine” between them.
Later, after a source told PEOPLEthe siblings were “not fine,“Savannah confirmed onThe Viall Filespodcast that the two sisters were no longer on speaking terms. She also alleged that Lindsie and her brotherKyle Chrisley— both of whom their father,Todd Chrisley, had during a previous marriage — didn’t treat her motherJulie Chrisleyas if she were their mom, even though Julie “always treated them as if they were hers.”

“You didn’t have parents that were divorced or went through toxic co-parenting and hate each other,” she recently said on herCoffee Convospodcast. “It doesn’t mean that I didn’t love [Julie]. And I said on a previous episode, she could have hung the moon, but she still wasn’t my mother. I still had exposure to my mother.”
