Briana DeJesus tried to apologize to Leah Messer after blasting her for telling Kailyn Lowry about her relationship with Javi Marroquin during the "Teen Mom 2" season eight reunion special last August. In a deleted scene from this week's episode of the show, DeJesus attempts to get Messer's attention for a chat when she and Messer come face-to-face in their dressing room.
"Leah, since you're here, may we talk or did you want to do it private?" DeJesus asked her co-star. "Listen, I gotta see the girl on set," Messer replied.
"We all do," DeJesus noted.
"No, I have to go out by myself first," Messer explained.
Did Leah Messer bolt at the thought of speaking with Briana DeJesus?
As the "Teen Mom 2" scene continued, Leah Messer was seen asking if anyone had seen her black pumps. Then, when Messer suddenly leaves the room, Briana DeJesus attempts to follow her and resolve their lingering feud.
"I want to talk to Leah," DeJesus was seen telling a producer behind the scenes.
"And what do you want to talk to Leah about?" he asked.
"I just want to say 'I'm sorry' because I think things came off the wrong way and I don't want [Leah Messer] to think that I hate her or I don't like her," Briana DeJesus explained. "Like, I just want it to be cool, like, no beef whatsoever.
I don't want her to feel bad for saying something. You know what I mean?"
"Is there a potential for a friendship between you and Leah?" he replied.
"Yeah, of course," DeJesus insisted.
"You seemed tense last night," he further noted.
Briana DeJesus says she understands where Leah Messer was coming from
"I feel like I understand where she's coming from because [Kailyn Lowry] and [Leah Messer] have been doing this for a long time," DeJesus continued.
"So, their loyalty is obviously before mine. But, I understand that she was in the middle. She didn't want to make anyone feel bad [and] ended up going the wrong way."
As "Teen Mom 2" fans well know, Kailyn Lowry wasn't too happy to hear that her ex-husband was involved in a short-lived romance with Briana DeJesus and later admitted that she had tried to get back together with him around the time they dated.
