Savannah Chrisley knew she had to draw the line at drinking with brother Chase Chrisley after one experience together.
“I remember drinking with Chase one time. I think we were, like, I don’t know, 19 [or] 20, and I was like, ‘Never again.’ I will never drink with him again,” Savannah, 28, said during the Tuesday, September 2, episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “I’ve always known how Chase acts when he drinks, right? So from that point forward, I said, ‘I will never drink with him again.’ And I have not.”
Savannah’s mom, Julie Chrisley, was her guest on the episode and said she didn’t want to discuss Chase much further. (The topic of alcohol came up after Savannah claimed her dad, Todd Chrisley, threw out all the hard seltzers in her fridge.)
“I’m not going to go down that vein of Chase’s story because hopefully Chase will tell his own story one day,” Julie, 52, said. Savannah reminded her mother that his story is “public,” seemingly referring to an incident that occurred this past January.
Chase, 29, was arrested after allegedly slapping the manager of a bar in Atlanta. He was released on a $10,000 bond at the time and Chase’s attorney claimed the altercation was “entirely blown out of proportion.” The bar’s employee decided not to press charges.
Chase’s arrest was discussed during the family’s new Lifetime docuseries, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, which premiered its first two episodes on Monday, September 1.
The reality star claimed he didn’t “remember a lot” from the night of his arrest, stating that he “wouldn’t slap somebody.” Chase noted that he “hit rock bottom” and admitted that he had been “drinking heavily” after his parents reported to prison.
Todd and Julie were convicted of tax evasion and bank and wire fraud charges in 2023. They spent 28 months in prison before being pardoned by President Donald Trump in May. The couple reunited when they returned home that same month.
Following Todd and Julie’s arrests, the family’s reality show Chrisley Knows Best was canceled, as was its spinoff, Growing Up Chrisley.
“I 100 percent took the show for granted,” Chase said during episode 2 of the docuseries. “It was, like, the best job in the world. After my parents went away, when I started drinking, I would just go and go and go and go. [I] wasn’t setting any boundaries for myself and didn’t really have anybody to tell me no.”
The Chrisleys: Back to Reality continues on Lifetime Tuesday, September 2, at 8 p.m. ET with another two back-to-back episodes on September 9. The finale airs September 16.
