What Is McKenna West's Surrogacy Controversy?

This dramatic filing does not exist in a vacuum. West was already making headlines for a separate, highly contentious courtroom drama involving a baby she carried as a surrogate. In that ongoing dispute, West delivered a child as a gestational carrier but subsequently became embroiled in a fierce tug-of-war with the baby's intended biological parents. That battle has seen both parties trading legal blows over the baby's custody and parental rights, creating a complex web of legal claims that has captured internet attention. With Gross now stepping forward to challenge her parental capacity regarding their biological son, West is effectively fighting two major custody battles simultaneously.
