Malorie Beaver‘s baby daddy Lane Fernandez is speaking out after his wife got into a big social media brawl with the Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant star and the rest of the Beaver Bunch.
In a new interview, Lane— who has appeared on the MTV show in the past— denied Malorie & Co.’s claims that he’s a bad dad, stating that Malorie is just jealous that he has moved on and gotten married. He also revealed that he may attempt to take the Beavs to court so that he can snatch more custody of his daughter.
The Ashley broke the news earlier this week that Malorie battled Lane’s new wife Kylie on Facebook, after Kylie posted photos of Emerson (the daughter Malorie shares with Lane), and stated that Emerson calls her “Momma Kylie.” Kylie also accused Malorie of not properly caring for Emerson, attempting to shut Lane out of his daughter’s life and other unsavory things.

Malorie accused Lane of “traumatizing” their daughter, and pretending to be a good dad only for social media. She also brought up the fact that he was once arrested for assaulting her.
Naturally, Mal’s sister Rachel and mom Stephanie hopped into the hijinks, and legal threats were thrown all over, with Kylie hinting that she and Lane planned to take Malorie to court over the custody of Emerson.
In an interview with The Sun, Lane— whom Malorie has claimed “tried to kill me while I was holding my child when she was two weeks old”—stated that he hasn’t been allowed to see Emerson for months, despite his efforts to do so.
“We are very loving parents. I try to see my daughter but can’t and [Malorie] lies about me trying,” he said, adding that Malorie is angry that he has moved on with Kylie.
“To me, Malorie’s jealous that I got married and am building a life with another woman,” Lane told The Sun. “That’s what I think and that Emerson talking about my wife to Malorie also makes her mad.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Malorie accused Lane and Kylie of trying to act like involved parents to Emerson, though she feels that is not the case at all. (She also stated that Lane and Kylie had reported her to Child Protective Services multiple times and accused her of doing drugs and neglecting Emerson.)
“Her father has traumatized her & has been no help whatsoever. He has done nothing but hurt us & our family,” Mal wrote on Facebook earlier this week. “This is the reason she has not seen her father & the reason she will not be seeing him again until she is ready. I am sick & tired of them going around acting like they love MY CHILD when they have done nothing but hurt her…I am tired of seeing these posts & need it to be clear that this may be her biological father; but he is not by any means her father.”
During the Facebook fiasco, Kylie hinted that she and Lane would be taking Malorie to court over custody of Emerson.
“[Lane and I are] getting that situated,” she wrote. “I’m not worried. But I won’t deal with false accusations on me. At all. Ever.”
In his new interview, though, Lane seemed a little less sure about filing for joint custody. He told The Sun that he is considering it; however, he added that “it’s a big money racket.”
Stephanie, Malorie and Rachel don’t appear to be scared by Kylie and Lane’s threats.
“She can’t take anyone to court,” Steph recently wrote on Facebook of Kylie. “She has no idea what she is talking about that’s how you can tell she’s only 19 years old.”
When several of the Beavers’ Facebook friends suggested that Lane and Kylie were causing drama in order to get themselves on ‘Young and Pregnant,’ Rachel shut that idea down.
“She’s dumb, our part in the show is about me,” Rachel wrote. “As if I’ll ever allow them on it…he could never… The part in our show is about me not Malorie, Malorie’s in my life. So they’d never be on the show. I wouldn’t allow it.”

I’m sorry but Lane is a piece of crap on the bottom of her shoe, she needs to wipe him off or throw him away with a big ole GOOD RIDDANCE!
He was a scum of a male ( he’s definitely NOT a man!) that beat the mother of his child. He deserves NOTHING!
I think the new side piece/fiancé’ will be singing a different toon soon! Lane can’t keep his sh*t together all the time and I’m betting the real, abusive, jerk her really is will be shown soon! He can’t hide it….. it’s who he is! That poor little girl!
That’s thinking about getting a lawyer, not thinking about if you should try to get custody of your child.
As a parent myself, there would be no weighing my options if it meant I can’t see my child.
The only reason someone like this guy would have to think about it is because he allegedly abused former partners. I believe it is documented in the court system (not ? though). Or he doesn’t want to pay child support. He seems like a total loser.
If he signed the birth certificate as an unwed father, he has legal right to the child. If he didn’t, there’s this cool thing he can request through the court that’s called a paternity test that will offer him that right.
I think the courts (depending on the state) may absolutely make it harder for some Dad’s, but they’re not left without options. The Beavers are not these parents, but this guy is something else…
Give over, he doesn’t want any type of custody, he’s just trying to piss her off. He doesn’t want to be a full time dad. Oh he ‘asks about her constantly’ does he, Kylie? Only in a 19 year olds head could that constitute being a good dad.
In any case, it’s probably wise not to blow all his money on a custody case when he’ll need it for his divorce from Mommy Kylie. It’s always amusing when the next baby momma steps up to defend these dead beats and then a few years later finds herself in exactly the same position – like Taylor Halpur on TM throwing shade at Chelsea about Adam trying to be a dad, then a few months after she’s left holding the baby and agreeing with Chelsea about what a useless pos he is. Oh well, we live and learn!
The Beavers seem to be trash also, just to be clear.
Anyway, that’s my two penneth. Lol.
They’re always “thinking” about filing for custody only when they wanna piss the other parent off…
NONE OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE CONTACT WITH THESE BABIES ?
Malorie and the entire Beaver clan are pure trash. Malorie leaves her daughter with her mother in their cockroach infested house so she can go party. But, let’s not forget that this charmer Lane beat the shit out of Malorie on more than one occasion. This little girl needs at least one stable parent & she doesn’t have one.
I don’t think she has the power to decide who is on the show or not
Having gone through a custody battle that was mostly uncomplicated (no DV, no drugs, no accusations of being unfit) it was really just mom not wanting to allow more time just because that’s what she wanted. We still had to spend close to 10k in legal fees just to go through the process. He is right it’s expensive and it’s not easy to navigate on your own.
I think he is right though Mallory is just jealous and is withholding time. She seems spiteful like that.
i would love to see lane to even try getting any type of custody of emerson just because it’s obvious a judge wouldn’t grant that ?
If he asked for step up custody (start with weekends, move to 3 nights, 4 nights etc) he would probably get it granted. Just cause someone has one DV against a partner doesn’t mean they can never obtain more custody. Not saying he’s great or nothing but it’s not impossible.
Lol. Thinking about it. Can you imagine reading an article about your parent “thinking about” getting custody of you? Dude, you make the Beavers seem like great parents with comments like that.
It is something you have to think about. If you go in without a lawyer you are more likely to lose because you don’t know what to do or ask for. If you lose it’s much much harder to get the agreement changed down the road. If you don’t have the money for a lawyer you may have to weigh your options before applying for custody.
Dads get no default custody when they are unmarried so to get any official agreement will cost him a good amount of money.
