**Julie Chrisley’s Alleged Assault on Lindsie Chrisley Disputed by Production Insider**
*Published November 5, 2025, 1:05 p.m. ET*
Years after Lindsie Chrisley made the shocking allegation that Julie Chrisley “shoved at her neck,” a production insider has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com to refute the claim.
On a 2019 episode of *Dr. Phil*, Lindsie stated there was an argument that escalated into a “physical altercation,” during which Julie allegedly “shoved me at my neck.”
### ‘Julie Never Assaulted Lindsie,’ Source Reveals
“Julie never assaulted Lindsie or put her hands on her,” a source told us exclusively. “Anyone who knows Julie knows that’s not even something she’s remotely capable of.”
The source added that Lindsie’s allegations are especially puzzling given that Lindsie once asked Julie to adopt her. According to the insider, in a 2023 podcast, Lindsie expressed that she had no regrets about that decision.
“Why would someone you wanted to adopt you put their hands on you? It doesn’t make sense,” the insider remarked.
### Lindsie Chrisie Addresses the Alleged Incident
In a recent episode of the podcast *The Southern Tea*, Lindsie revisited the alleged incident. She reiterated that there was a “physical altercation,” but outside of that event, she said, “Julie has never done anything to me and has not gone out of her way to emotionally harm me or had reckless behavior.”
Lindsie also claimed there are “significant records” related to the incident, which she reported to All3Media.
She revealed that on the night the incident supposedly occurred, production took her to an “undisclosed hotel location” and did not inform others involved where she was. Afterwards, she alleges they flew her back home.
### Production Insider Denies Lindsie’s Version of Events
The source refuted Lindsie’s claims about being placed in a hotel to support her story, explaining that production “previously put her up in hotels” when she flew into Nashville to film.
“So, this wasn’t a ‘special reward’ or them siding with her or anything,” the insider said.
They also raised several questions challenging the assault allegation: “If Julie did get physical, why was there no police report filed? Why wasn’t Julie disciplined by the network? Why was Lindsie then the one who left the show?”
“These are all valid questions that don’t seem to align with Julie assaulting her,” the source added.
### Clarifying Control Over Show Decisions
Some believe Todd Chrisley, Julie’s husband, controlled casting decisions, implying Julie could have remained on the show despite any incidents if Todd wished.
However, the insider clarified, “There was still a production company and a major TV network that made final rulings, not Todd.”
### Julie Chrisley’s Reaction to the Allegation
Though the Chrisley family has been estranged from Lindsie for some time, the insider shared that the ongoing discussion about this particular situation deeply affects Julie.
“At the end of the day, this situation with Lindsie and the allegation absolutely broke Julie’s heart,” the source said.
“Julie considered Lindsie like her own daughter and raised her, and having this horrid accusation waged against her… It’s something Julie’s never been able to get over. It cut her like a knife.”
