The Chrisley family is facing another public crisis as Lindsie Chrisley, daughter of reality star Todd Chrisley, has officially petitioned for a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, David Landsman. The legal move follows an April 11, 2026, incident that resulted in Landsman’s arrest on charges of aggravated assault and strangulation.
According to court documents filed in Georgia, the situation escalated during a heated argument at Chrisley’s home. The reality star and podcast host alleges that Landsman grabbed her by the throat and lifted her entirely off the ground, causing her to lose breath and struggle for air. This harrowing account has brought renewed attention to domestic violence allegations in celebrity relationships and the critical importance of swift legal intervention. Witnesses reportedly heard the disturbance, and local law enforcement was dispatched to the scene shortly after the physical contact occurred.
David Landsman was taken into custody on the night of the incident and booked into the local county jail. Due to the severity of the choking allegations legally classified as strangulation in the state of Georgia Landsman is facing a felony charge of aggravated assault. If convicted, he could face a prison sentence of up to 20 years. The court has set a preliminary hearing for later this month to determine if the temporary restraining order will be extended into a permanent protective order.
The sudden turn in the relationship has shocked fans, as the couple had recently sparked engagement rumors after being spotted together at various high-profile events. Chrisley has since wiped her social media of all photos featuring Landsman and released a brief statement through her representative. She emphasized her commitment to the safety of herself and her son, requesting privacy while the criminal case proceeds through the judicial system.
