TEEN Mom 2 star Briana DeJesus has dissed Kailyn Lowry as “lacking class” for trying to “dig into her sexual history” in their nasty lawsuit.
Kailyn, 29, sued Briana, 27, for defamation in June after she claimed the star “physically beat” her baby daddy Chris Lopez.
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 is now asking for Briana’s motion for a protective order be “set aside.”

Kailyn’s lawyer argued that nothing in Briana’s deposition “should deserve the classification of confidential.”
She claimed that on March 25, she provided to the court a copy of Briana’s deposition with four pages redacted.
When Briana’s lawyer provided the transcript of the deposition to the court, not a “single word” was redacted, according to the mom of four.
Kailyn wrote the deposition is now a “matter of public record and consumption.”

The court papers read: “[Briana’s] motion for protective order has become irrelevant to the case given [Briana’s] voluntary disclosure.”
‘LACKING CLASS!’
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.”
He claimed the confidential portions were separated by the court reporter.
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.”
He is asking the court to deny Kailyn’s motion to set aside the protective order and to make it clear that her counsel “attempts to mislead this court with material falsehood should come to an end.”
Briana’s deposition in question is not yet available.
BRI’S FIGHT FOR PRIVACY
Briana had her deposition, which is testimony, in the case on March 7, 2022.
As The Sun previously reported, her lawyer claimed Kail’s attorney asking about her sexual history is “irrelevant” to the case and the line of questioning is aimed to “pry into the salacious details of Briana’s private life for the benefit of embarrassing her.”
The court papers continued: “The case isn’t really about defamation. The case is really about the fact that Ms. Lowry is upset that Ms. DeJesus has had a relationship with her ex.
“That was apparent from the start, but during Ms. DeJesus’s deposition on March 7, 2022, it was no longer deniable.”
The court papers continued that when consel began “prying into the matters of Ms. DeJesus’ sexual history,” Kailyn’s attorney “insisted that every salacious detail would be properly a matter of public record.”
The documents claim: “It is quite clear that the intent of this line of questioning was to both try to humiliate Ms. DeJesus and for Ms. Lowry to use this information for purposes that have nothing to do with the lawsuit.”
The attorney also mentioned how the parties are “popular reality television stars” and “followed closely on social media.”
He added that there are “no reasons for such questions” about Briana’s sexual history and that even so, she would be willing to answer them as long as the information is kept “confidential,” which was denied by Kail’s legal counsel.
He added that this is “an abuse of the discovery process” and that Briana is asking for a protective order to keep the information confidential, as opposed to filing a counterclaim.
KAIL SHUTS BRI DOWN
Kailyn filed to dismiss Briana’s request to keep the sex details confidential.
In court papers obtained by The Sun, Kailyn said in her response: “None of the information claimed by [Briana] is either sensitive or confidential. [Briana]’s motion for protective order is frivolous and unwarranted.”
She said in Briana’s request for a protective order of the information that she “made a series of distortions and misrepresentations of what transpired during the [deposition.]”
Kail said Briana’s request was “plagued with scandalous and untrue assertions” of the deposition.
Because Briana admitted in her deposition that Chris was her source of information, Kailyn claimed the questions about their joint trip to Miami in April 2021 must be asked to determine whether he is a “biased witness.”
The podcast host said knowing the information is “highly relevant” and “not harassing at all.”
‘DO WHAT ANY DECENT HUMAN WOULD’
Briana responded by begging the court to force Kailyn “to do what any decent human being would have agreed to do – to keep the details of her sexual history off the public record.”
She asked to “preserve her dignity and save her from public humiliation and embarrassment.”
Briana’s lawyer called Kailyn’s demands for the information without confidentiality “abusive.”
The enemies have a court hearing set for today to rule on Briana’s anti-slapp motion, which protects a person’s freedom of speech, that was filed in August to have the case dismissed.
KAILYN KICKS OFF LEGAL WAR
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… 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 response, 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 lawsuit 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.
