Teen Mom 2: Kailyn Lowry's Lawsuit Against Briana DeJesus Dismissed

Kailyn Lowry's defamation lawsuit against Teen Mom 2 co-star Briana DeJesus has been dismissed in Briana's favor. Kailyn and Briana, who starred on 16 And Pregnant seasons 2 and 4, respectively, have been at odds for years. Shortly after Kailyn and her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin, divorced in 2017, Javi and Briana began dating, to the surprise of Kailyn, their other co-workers and Teen Mom fans. This love triangle led to several verbal altercations throughout Teen Mom 2 season 8, with the mothers--along with Briana's sister Brittany DeJesus--coming close to physical blows at that season's reunion.

While Kailyn and Briana's feud died down for a bit after Javi and Briana broke up in 2018, things began to pick up steam once again last year. In 2020, Kailyn was arrested for allegedly punching her ex-boyfriend Chris Lowry; Chris is the father of Kailyn's two youngest children, Lux and Creed. Months later, Briana claimed that Kailyn's assault on Chris was not only true but that the 30-year-old allegedly attempted to break into the home of Chris' mother. Briana, who is known for posting and deleting social media tirades, was sued by Kailyn in June 2021 for defamation based on these comments. Since then, Kailyn and Briana have frequently thrown jabs at one another, with Briana even joining Chris on his podcast, P. T. S. D — Pressure Talks with Single Dads.
