Chase Chrisley doesn’t hold back as he talks candidly about his split from his ex-fiancée, Emmy Medders.
On Tuesday’s episode of his sister Savannah Chrisley Unlocked podcast, Chase talked about the bumpy road that led to the breakup — and what the future holds. The Nashville realtor admitted that while he “learned a lot of lessons” from the whole experience, things weren’t perfect between them.
“Our whole relationship wasn’t about bad times,” said Chase, 27. “I mean, I have a lot of s— to deal with, she has a lot of s— to deal with. She just decided to leave me while I I was dealing with my s—, but we parted by mutual consent.”
Chase said he’s “great” and “doing really well now.”
“I’m definitely over the hump. It was tough there for a while, but I’m over it now,” he explained. “God hears conversations we don’t hear and sees things we don’t see. He took her out of my life and I’m thankful for that because it obviously wasn’t meant to be.”
The reality star continued, “There was a lot of dirty shit that happened that should have been handled differently. It’s just that the lack of respect wasn’t there… I made mistakes in our relationship, 100 percent. But, so did she.”

Clarifying his comments, Chase said he doesn’t think the Elegant Tans by Emmy founder is a “bad person.” He then admitted that while he was “in love” with Medders, there was still a lack of a level of “respect” on both sides.
“All I can do is thank God for getting me through it,” he said. “I learned many valuable lessons.”
As for whether he thinks the pair could ever work things out, Chase said, “No way in hell. It would never happen because I’ve seen too much. I’ve seen true colors.”
“If [her family] needed me, I would be there for them. But if I don’t have to be there in the room with them, I won’t,” he added. “She was still doing some dirty stuff with . . .
Near the end of the podcast, Chase concluded, “I don’t want to look like I’m at the Emmys. I just wish her the best, but there was some s—-y — that went down.”
