Kailyn Lowry has addressed speculation surrounding her podcast partnership with Lindsie Chrisley after Chrisley’s DUI arrest in late May 2026. On a recent episode of Coffee Convos, Lowry said Chrisley will not continue as her special guest on the “Fatherless Behavior” podcast tour, but emphasized that the decision was not presented as a punishment or public fallout. Instead, Lowry said Chrisley is “taking time to heal” and reassess her next steps after a difficult period.
The situation drew extra attention because Chrisley’s arrest, which occurred on May 24, 2026, generated widespread headlines and renewed scrutiny around her personal life. Lowry’s comments led some viewers to wonder whether Chrisley had been removed from the project because of the negative publicity. Lowry later pushed back on that interpretation, saying there was nothing else behind the change and that she simply wanted to clear up rumors.
Jenelle Evans fueled the conversation further during a TikTok Live appearance, claiming that if she were in Lowry’s position, she would have used the controversy to boost podcast attention rather than remove Chrisley from the show. Evans suggested that Lowry had only distanced herself because Chrisley’s reputation no longer fit the brand, and accused Lowry of dropping her cohost after the arrest. She also said she would have been willing to cohost with Chrisley herself, repeating an earlier claim that the two had nearly worked together on a podcast. Chrisley previously denied that allegation, calling it outlandish.
Lowry responded directly on Facebook on June 10, 2026, rejecting the idea that she kicked Chrisley off the podcast. She explained that Chrisley still owns 50 percent of the podcast, making it impossible for Lowry to unilaterally remove her even if she wanted to. Lowry also said she had recently removed her list of podcasts from her Instagram bio in order to make ticket purchases for her upcoming tour easier for fans.
The exchange highlights how reality television personalities continue to generate headlines through both professional collaborations and personal controversies. In this case, the dispute centers less on whether Chrisley’s arrest affected the podcast and more on how each public figure framed the change. Lowry portrayed the shift as a pause for Chrisley’s recovery, while Evans cast it as a strategic or reputational decision. Lowry’s Facebook clarification appears intended to shut down further rumors and reinforce that the podcast arrangement remains a shared business relationship rather than a terminated partnership.
