In June 2021, Kailyn Lowry filed a complaint against Briana DeJesus and opted to sue her for “defamation concerning recent untrue statements,” via People.
According to Kailyn, Briana “asserted that Lowry physically beat Christopher Lopez, the father of two of Lowry’s sons, and broke into and entered the home of Mr. Lopez’s mother.”
Kailyn maintains that these allegations are untrue and were simply made to hurt her. Despite the ongoing lawsuit, Kailyn took the time to reveal on her podcast, Coffee Convos, that she’s been struggling with weight gain due to her PCOS diagnosis (via The U.S. Sun).
Following this revelation, Briana sent her co-star a treadmill as a gift. Though Kailyn appeared to initially appreciate the gesture, it’s now being interpreted as a cruel dig.
“When read with the message, a reasonable reader would view [the treadmill] as your client calling my client overweight,” wrote Kailyn’s lawyer in an email to Briana’s lawyer. “If your client wants favors from my client, she should stop antagonizing her and perhaps issue an apology for the very statements she made which is the focus of this lawsuit.”
With the pair still gearing up for their big court hearing, it’s clear that they have many issues to sort through.
