When a podcast becomes your primary platform, losing a cohost mid-tour hits differently. That’s the reality Kailyn Lowry is navigating after Lindsie Chrisley dropped out of their Coffee Convos tour dates scheduled for North Carolina in July.
On Thursday, June 4, the 34-year-old Teen Mom alum went public with the news, telling listeners that Chrisley, 36, would no longer be joining her for shows in Charleston, Charlotte, and Durham. Lowry was direct with fans who’d specifically purchased tickets to see both women perform: refunds are available if you want them. It’s the kind of transparency that matters when people have invested their money and time.
The reason for the exit is Chrisley’s May 23 DUI arrest in Georgia. According to police records, she was charged with DUI less safe, attempting to elude police, improper passing, reckless driving, and speeding. A police report claims she was driving nearly 90 miles per hour, tailgating, and flashing her high beams before officers say they detected alcohol on her breath and alleged she refused a field sobriety test. After posting bond on May 24—bail totaled $4,606 across all charges—Chrisley told TMZ she intends to fight the charges, claiming she was speeding to avoid hitting an animal that nearly collided with her vehicle.
Since the arrest, Lowry has been hosting Coffee Convos solo. During Thursday’s episode, she acknowledged the flood of fan questions about Chrisley’s legal situation but made clear what she can and can’t discuss. I’m not trying to evade your questions, she explained, but there are certain things when it comes to legal matters that I cannot speak on—that’s what PR teams and lawyers are for. It’s a practical reality in the celebrity world: when legal proceedings are ongoing, public comment can complicate things.
The fallout extends beyond just the tour. On June 1, Chrisley’s legal team filed a motion to suppress all evidence seized during her arrest, arguing there was a lack of probable cause. The Cherokee County Solicitor-General’s office responded that they’re still reviewing the evidence to make appropriate charging decisions. This case is far from settled, and the podcast tour cancellation is just the visible ripple effect of something much larger unfolding behind the scenes.
For Lowry and the Coffee Convos audience, it’s a reminder of how quickly professional partnerships can shift when personal circumstances change. Whether this is a temporary pause or a permanent split remains to be seen, but for now, the tour carries on with one less voice in the mix.
