Brian Austin Green is the father of a 16-year-old son with his ex Vanessa Marcil, but she says he hasn’t seen their son Kassius in five years.
Vanessa is speaking out for the first time about her custody battle with Brian, who took her to court to seek full custody of their son.
“12 years ago I was served legal papers and then spent 8 years+ defending myself and my son in custody court in response to his father & his stepmother trying to get full custody (that means I would have seen my son four days a month) and then asking me to pay them child support,” Vanessa wrote on Instagram. “They lost that case & a civil case asking me for 200,000.”
“I never spoke publicly in order to protect my then young son from paparazzi that used to follow him & terrify him. I had also never asked for child support of any kind and had never tried to take time away from Kass’ dad seeing him. Ever,” Vanessa added. “In the end they lost all of these court cases. The judge called them all ‘Frivolous.’ They always had 50% custody and still did when court ended as I had and have NEVER asked for full custody.”
Vanessa says that Brian and his wife Megan Fox cut Kassius out of their lives and he hasn’t met his younger brother Journey, 2.
“Then, 5 years ago on their own they decided to completely cut Kass out of their lives and his younger brothers’ lives. Kass has never met his youngest brother and is not allowed to know where his bio father, stepmother and three younger brothers live,” she wrote. “Custody cases hurt the children only and the truth shall set us all free. Put the kids first you guys. There shouldn’t be a ‘more important parent’ kids love both parents equally no matter what either parent’s struggles may be. Kass has been truly heartbroken since being cut out of his other families lives with NO explanation. Let’s do better for our kids. Let’s share our stories.”
Megan and Brian recently shared some rare family photos on Halloween.
