Those who follow Vanessa Marcil on social media know what a proud mom she is, frequently showing off her teenage son, Kassius.
Prompted by a feature news excerpt from CNN reporter Lisa Ling’s story about custody cases, Marcil took to Instagram to explain what happened between herself and her son’s father, former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Greene.
Marcil claims that Greene and his wife, actress Megan Fox, tried to sue for full custody of Kassius 12 years ago. They also tried to sue her for $200,000 in a civil case.
After a long court ordeal, Greene lost both his civil and custody suits, but Marcil maintains that he always had legal partial custody of their son.
Despite this, she says that Greene cut the boy out of his life five years ago, as well as the lives of his younger half-brothers. Kassius also never met his youngest brother and only sees his father in passing while in public.
Here is Marcil’s entire account of what has transpired over the last dozen years:
“As usual I can’t wait to see @lisalingstagram show on custody cases. 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.
“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. 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. 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. He has only seen his dad in passing in public places. 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.”
