THE JUDGE'S DECISION

According to documents obtained by The Sun, the case was dismissed in favor of the Florida native, as the judge found Kailyn's claims to be unfounded.

The judge agreed with Briana that Kailyn was required to give Briana notice that she was about to file the lawsuit, but she didn't comply.

In regards to Briana's online comments, the court official said: "The written post cannot be considered defamatory because, as a matter of law, it contained protected speech regarding opinion or was factually accurate."

The judge added: "It was widely publicized that Lowry had been arrested for domestic violence and Soto’s comments on the issue were substantially true.

"The damage to Lowry’s reputation, if any, had already occurred when the incident was publicized by news media."

ONGOING WAR

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

In Kail’sinitial 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 said the statements “threatened” her “ability to earn a living" and that she suffered “personal humiliation and mental anguish.”

The MTV star requested $30,000, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and a jury trial.

BRIANA'S CLAP BACK

In Briana’s answer to the complaint, herattorney claimed his client could not have defamed Kailynwith "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.”

Kailyn was arrested inSeptember of 2020for allegedly “punching” her baby daddy Chris Lopez “many times with a closed hand” over their son's haircut.

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

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

Briana also credited the source of the information to be the MTV “production,” crew, meaning the producers that filmTeen Mom 2.

WINNER'S CONFIDENCE

After Briana's Florida court hearing late last month, she emerged from the trial grinning from ear to ear.

In photos exclusively obtained by The Sun, Briana could be 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 afterward: “I’m okay. I feel good.”
