Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry reveals reality TV fakery in court deposition (2024)

TEEN Mom star Kailyn Lowry revealed reality TV fakery in her court deposition and admitted producers "tell her what to say" on camera.

Kailyn, 30, sued Briana, 27, for defamation in June after she claimed the star “physically beat” her baby daddy Chris Lopez.

In her court deposition taken on February 17, Kailyn revealed Teen Mom 2 fakery.

In the deposition, Briana’s lawyer asked Kailyn if the show “actually depicts reality.”

Kailyn responded: “Sometimes.”

He then followed up with: “So would that imply that sometimes it doesn’t?”

SECRET BOYFRIEND

As The Sun previously reported, the court deposition also revealed Kailyn’s secret boyfriend.

Briana claimed in court papers that her co-star didn’t appear on an episode of Teen Mom 2 last season because she didn’t want to discuss the offensive touching arrest, which was later dropped, on camera.

Kailyn hit back that she refused to film because she wanted to keep a romantic relationship private.

She said in her deposition: “I refused to film about a person I was dating. His name is Malik Montgomery.

“I have had several relationships on the show fail and, also, just trolls becoming involved in my relationship had led me to not want to have any type of public relationship.”

Back in August, Kail confirmed she was in a relationship in court papers, but she chose not to disclose his identity at the time.

The Sun caught Malik coming out of Kailyn’s Delaware home in late June 2021 walking a dog at around 1:30pm.

A source told The Sun of their romance over the summer: "He’s her boyfriend of over a year. He helps her with everything, including helping her with the kids.

“She doesn’t want the public to know about him.”

Malik has been in Kailyn’s life for a while, as he posted a photo with her in a bar back in January 2019.

According to his social media, he is a “business owner” and is also in customer service.

It is unclear if they are still together today, as he claimed to be “single” in a March 13 Instagram post.

KAILYN SUES BRIANA

The Sun has extensively reported on the nasty legal war between the co-stars.

In Kail’s initial complaint against Briana filed in June, her legal team claimed that her co-star’s comments are false and were made "for the purpose of causing Lowry harm."

The court papers continued: "Defendant used Lowry to gain additional media attention for herself."

Kailyn then went into their long-standing feud in the court papers filed on June 25, which began when Briana joined Teen Mom 2 in 2017.

Kailyn claimed Briana "has a history of making false public statements regarding Lowry’s family life,” including when she allegedly responded to a Twitter user “[Lowry] gets beat the f**k up by Chris in front of her kids.”

Kailyn mentioned in the lawsuit when she was excluded from the June 8, 2021, Teen Mom 2 episode.

Briana claimed she wasn’t included because she allegedly “committed violent, physical crimes towards Mr. Lopez. Defendant also asserted that Lowry was arrested for breaking and entering into the home of Mr. Lopez’s mother.”

Briana alleged Kailyn “didn’t want to film” about the alleged incident.

Kailyn claimed she did not break into Chris’ mother’s home or beat him up.

She claimed the statements “threatened” her “ability to earn a living" and that she suffered “personal humiliation and mental anguish.”

She requested $30,000, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and a jury trial.

BRIANA FIGHTS BACK

In Briana’s answer to the complaint, her attorney claimed his client could not have defamed Kailyn with "false" stories because she was arrested for the alleged assault on her ex.

The attorney wrote: “She verifiably was arrested for this, and her arrest garnered media attention.”

Briana's lawyer called Kailyn’s lawsuit "meritless" and demanded the entire case be dismissed.

Also in the court documents, Kailyn alleged Briana claimed she obtained the arrest information from “credible source” Chris, 27.

Briana also credited the source of the information as “production,” meaning the producers and crew that film Teen Mom 2.

The Sun was the first to report on Kailyn's offensive touching charges against Chris, which were later dropped.

BRI IN COURT

As The Sun previously reported, Briana attended a court hearing in Florida on Tuesday for Judge Robert J. Egan to rule on her anti-slapp motion, which protects a person’s freedom of speech, that she filed to have the case dismissed.

In photos obtained by The Sun, Briana was seen smiling alongside her lawyer, Marc J. Randazza, as they left the courtroom.

Briana and her attorney seemed confident after the hearing, as they were spotted giving each other a high-five.

Briana exclusively told a Sun reporter after the hearing: “I’m okay. I feel good.”

In video taken by The Sun, her lawyer seemed pleased with the hearing, as he said: “Alright, let’s go celebrate!”

Despite the early celebration, Judge Egan did not rule to dismiss the case yet, as the judge will review the information presented at the hearing and make a decision at a later date.

While Briana appeared in person for the hearing, Delaware resident Kailyn’s attorney could be seen attending over Zoom.
