Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry accuses Chris Lopez of ‘trying to KILL her’ & slams him as ‘abusive’ in explosive court deposition
TEEN Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry has accused her ex-boyfriend Chris Lopez of “trying to kill her” and slammed him as “abusive” in her explosive court deposition, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
Kailyn, 30, sued Briana, 27, for defamation in June after she claimed the star “physically beat” her baby daddy Chris.
Briana claimed in her deposition that Chris told her Kailyn broke into his mother’s home and physically assaulted him over their oldest son’s haircut.
Kailyn was arrested for offensive touching in September 2020, though the charge was later dropped.
In Kailyn’s February 17 court deposition obtained by The Sun, she revealed more on their toxic relationship.
The mother of four, who shares two children with Chris, told Briana’s lawyer: “A lot of what comes out of Chris’ mouth is untrue.”

She claimed he lied to police about the alleged attack because “we had a very tumultuous relationship.”
The Teen Mom 2 star explained how she had a Protection From Abuse order against Chris at the time of the incident.
When asked why she had a PFA against Chris, she responded: “Chris almost killed me in October of 2019.”
The remaining information of the transcript was redacted.

When Briana’s lawyer asked if Kailyn was “okay” following the conversation, she responded: “I am trying to be.”
She then said of her baby daddy: “I think that Chris has narcissistic tendencies and narcissistic behaviors.
“He parents for himself, not for his children. He sees his children as objects and pawns and a way to control me. He is very manipulative. He is abusive. He is self-centered and will do whatever it takes to have his own way.”
PAST ABUSE
Kailyn and Chris’ relationship has been tumultuous since she welcomed their oldest son Lux, 4, in 2017.
That year, RadarOnline.com reported from a source: “There has been abuse against Kail on more than one occasion.”
Despite the PFA against Chris and their toxic romance, the two welcomed their second son Creed, 1, in 2020.
CHRIS ON CAMERA
Chris signed up for Teen Mom 2’s current season, a casting decision that made Kailyn decide to stop filming.
Her future with the franchise is currently up in the air.
On a recent episode, Chris complained to her enemy Briana about their co-parenting relationship.
He said in the scene: “It’s a set schedule. Every other week I get them for a certain amount of days, but it’s corny to me. Why can’t I chill with my kids the way that other dads do?
“When we good, I can see my kids whenever I want. I try to be nice… but you can only handle so much… I became real angry, bitter, resentful through this.”
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.
‘I FEEL GOOD!’
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.
MTV cameras were not present to film the hearing for Teen Mom 2.
KAILYN SUES
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.
FIGHT OVER SEXUAL HISTORY
The legal war has been nasty, as their latest fight involved Briana fighting to keep her sexual history confidential.
Earlier this month, Briana’s lawyer filed a Motion for a Protective Order to ban Kailyn from seeking information about her “sexual relationship with a third party” without confidentiality protection during her March 7 deposition.
Kailyn then filed to dismiss Briana’s request to keep the sex details confidential.
After a judge allegedly denied Kailyn’s request, she asked for Briana’s motion for a protective order to be “set aside.”
Kailyn’s lawyer argued that nothing in Briana’s deposition “should deserve the classification of confidential.”
But Briana’s lawyer fought back, claiming Kailyn “abandoned her vexatious attempt to have [Briana’s] sexual history protected from the public, and now “attempts to engage in further gamesmanship” by arguing the request should be “set aside” and “moot.”
The court papers read: “This bad faith [motion] argues that the filing of Ms. DeJesus’ deposition transcript – which contains no confidential information – somehow waives Ms. DeJesus’ right to seek protection from providing future answers in a resumed deposition that has not even occurred yet.”
He claims the redacted portions Kailyn provided to the court “contain no confidential information.”
Briana’s lawyer continued that this argument “has reached the point of absurdity.”
The court papers read: “Ms. Lowry and her counsel have now filed a second round of bad faith and misleading motions to try and obscure the fact that all of this ink has been spilled because [Kailyn’s attorney] lacked the class and professionalism to agree that questions about private sexual conduct should be kept confidential.”

Briana’s lawyer told The Sun after Tuesday’s hearing: “I think we got what is best in life – a thoughtful judge that I am confident will come down on the side that relied on the First Amendment, and not on the side that relied on negativity and smears.
“There has been no ruling on the confidentiality request, but it will be moot if we prevail, and I have faith that we will.”
