Monty Lopez, the father of social media sensation Addison Rae, faced legal troubles last year following allegations of public indecency.
Documents obtained by Page Six reveal that Monty Lopez, legally known as Manolito Juan Lopez, was taken into custody on July 27, 2025, in Louisiana. The arrest stems from an incident that purportedly took place on August 31, 2024.
The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office charged the 50-year-old with deliberately exposing his genitals and pubic area in a public space or any area visible to the public, including prisons and jails. According to the department’s documents, the act was reportedly committed with the intent to incite sexual interest or deemed patently offensive.
Lopez’s bond was set at $2,500. During his arraignment on September 2, 2025, he pled not guilty to the charges, which include obscenity—a felony—and a sex crime.
His next court appearance is scheduled for a hearing on March 19. TMZ was the first to break the story.
Lopez did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Tuesday evening, nor did a rep for Rae.
The news comes just weeks after Rae, 25, was nominated as best Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards — though the award ultimately went to Olivia Dean.
The “Obsessed” songstress was born to Lopez and ex-wife Sheri Easterling — along with her brothers Enzo, 17, and Lucas, 12. The former couple married in 2004 and parted ways a few years later, only to remarry in 2017.
Lopez, who also shares daughter Macye with a previous partner, split from Easterling again in 2022.
A then-25-year-old woman named Renée Ash accused Lopez that same year of lying about the marriage to Easterling and claimed he “misled” her into a five month long affair.
“Personal matters being brought public are always challenging and overwhelming for anyone involved,” Easterling wrote via social media at the time. “I will be OK.”
“My biggest concern is -and always will be- my children and their fragile hearts and minds. I will always do my best to protect them,” she added.
Ash and Lopez reunited in November 2022, with Lopez exclusively telling Page Six at the time that his divorce from Easterling had been finalized months earlier.
“What I can do from here on out, I can move forward,” Lopez told us.
Easterling was briefly linked to Yung Gravy, while Lopez went on to marry medical professional Kaitlyn Nicole Robins said at the Little Chapel of Hearts in Las Vegas in October.
“I just followed my heart and I’ve never been happier. I love this woman!” he told TMZ at the time.
