Why Lindsie Chrisley Has ‘Never Allowed’ Son Jackson, 11, to Have Social Media



Lindsie Chrisley is explaining why her son isn’t allowed to be on social media yet.

On this week’s episode of her podcast Coffee Convos, which she co-hosts with Kailyn Lowry, Chrisley, 35, shared that her 11-year-old son Jackson is not allowed to have any form of social media yet. The proud mom, who is the daughter of Todd Chrisley and his ex-wife Teresa Terry, shares her son with ex-husband Will Campbell.

As the two spoke about pursuing careers on social media, Lowry noted that she didn’t know if Instagram or TikTok would fall off, prompting Chrisley to say that’s one of the reasons her son doesn’t have public profiles.

“That’s why I have never allowed Jackson to have any type of social media presence whatsoever outside of what I share of him on my stuff because I don’t want him to build some type of following, see a paycheck that comes in that looks like that, and then turn 16 years old, start working at Chick-Fil-A, and the paycheck looks very, very different,” Chrisley said.

“I think it’s setting a tone for unrealistic expectation, but then you also have to balance,” she went on. “You have this opportunity, so why would I not let my child capitalize on said opportunity to be able to make money? So how do you balance that?”

Lowry shared that she didn’t know what the answer was, adding that she was surprised schools haven’t created a course on social media since it’s becoming a profession in itself.

“And the the crazy thing is too, I have a very untraditional job, and Will has a very traditional job in sales,” Chrisley responded, referring to Campbell. “And Jackson does notice the difference in those jobs.”

“Like, for example, he’ll go to Will’s and he’ll be like, ‘Well, can’t you just take off? Like, it’s your day for you to have me. Can’t you just take off?'”

“And [Will’s] like, ‘No. Like, I have these scheduled meetings.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, if I ask mom not to do something, then she doesn’t do it,'” Chrisley said.
