Marlon Wayans slams ‘entitled’ ex following new paternity lawsuit: ‘I refuse to be used and discredited’

Marlon Wayans slammed the “entitled” woman who filed a paternity suit against the actor after she allegedly gave birth to his 1-year-old daughter, Axl July Ivory Wayans.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Brittany Moreland filed a petition Monday to establish the “White Chicks” star as the father of the toddler, born in December 2022.

Moreland asked for primary physical and legal custody and proposed that the comedian be awarded visitation rights.

Additionally, Moreland, 34, asked that her legal fees and “reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth” be covered by Marlon, 51.

“I’ve never had this problem. I’m a good man with a good heart and strong sense of responsibility, but I refuse to be used and discredited.”

Page Six has reached out to reps for Marlon but did not immediately hear back.

Marlon is already a dad to Kai, 23, and Shawn, 22, whom he shares with his former partner Angela Zachary.

Last November, the “Scary Movie” star revealed that his eldest child was transgender.

“I have a daughter that transitioned into a son,” he said on “The Breakfast Club” at the time. “My daughter Amai is now Kai.”

The “Little Man” actor and Zachary dated from 1992 to 2013 but never tied the knot.

Their romance ended after Marlon was caught cheating on her.
