Kyle didn’t make any appearances on the show’s sophomore season, and Todd revealed to People magazine Tuesday, June 2 that the family plans to follow suit for the third season as well.
He explained why and said, “He’s not a part of the show any longer. It’s not something that he’s interested in or that he wanted to participate.”

As for public comments that Kyle has made about Todd from calling him a “snake” and saying that he is trying to take his two-year-old daughter, Todd said Kyle’s hurt played a huge part in that.
“Our relationship has never changed. I think Kyle strikes out when he’s hurt. I ask myself, ‘Can you imagine the pain they went through when they said that to you?’”
He said that Kyle also doesn’t have a relationship with his biological mother. He thinks that is a part of the issue as well.
“I think that my son… he has a lot of struggles. My children are forgiven for anything they do before they do it. So they don’t have to come to me and ask for forgiveness because I’ve forgiven them when they screw up.”
He also opened up about Kyle’s fight with mental illness and substance abuse. Todd has said in the past that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While they are famous, he said they are no different from other families going through similar situations.
“I think that we are like so many families in this country who have children that suffer from mental illness or substance abuse. And all that we do everyday is we pray. Our family lifts Kyle up to The Lord. He’s doing better. He will always have a struggle. We love him.”
Take a look at what he said is the biggest lesson he has learned in the full interview below.
Chrisley Knows Best airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on USA.
