Why did Chase Chrisley not support his sister, Savannah? Know the real reason behind their relationship.
The Days When Everything Was Close
Until a few years ago, Savannah Chrisley and older brother Chase Chrisley‘s friendship was a given.
The two were just a year older than her, laughed together, cried together, and never let go of each other’s hands.
Silence the Last Two and a Half Years
“The man hasn’t been a help in the last two and a half years,” Savannah candidly says in the series premiere of Lifetime’s The Chrisleys: Back to Reality.
Todd and Julie Chrisley have had their challenges in prison, but Chase hasn’t taken any responsibility, according to Savannah. “He hasn’t been a help at all,” she insists.
Chase’s Side
Chase believes Savannah wants help “on her own terms.”
“She wants to prove to herself that she did it all by herself,” he explains in a separate confessional.
So when it’s time to speak up or meet up, he just shows up performatively—with the intent to get something.
Family’s night in limbo
An intense family dinner saw the siblings staring in silence at both ends of the table.
Chase told the camera, “Whenever Savannah comes close to me and talks, I know things can be okay.
But half the time she doesn’t like me.” Savannah admitted, “Once I lock someone up, they stay locked up.”
Grandpa Harvey’s rebuke
At the same dinner, Julie’s father, Harvey Hughes cornered Savannah, asking her why she was so vocal about the issue of her parents’ release from jail.
Harvey said, “The plan is so simple—the president’s pen gives a pardon.”
Savannah replied, “It’s not that easy; we’re making a big appeal to the most powerful person.”
Politics or family priority?
Savannah believes that only by changing public opinion will her voice reach the root of the matter.
Harvey argues that the right people should be heard directly, not just by social media noise.
What lies ahead?
The new season of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality is not just about flatbreak, but about the depths of relationships, the battle between silence and hope.
How will their journey unfold—will an old friendship be rekindled, or will the rift deepen?
When to watch?
The series premieres Sept. 1 on Lifetime. New episodes every Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
This story is not just about celebrity drama, but about a human being struggling to navigate his weaknesses and dreams.
Savannah and Chase’s conflict reminds us that sometimes blood ties can be the biggest challenge.
