Monty Lopez, father of TikTok star Addison Rae, was arrested last year for allegedly exposing himself in public, according to reports. The arrest, which occurred in Louisiana on July 27, 2025, stems from an incident said to have taken place in August 2024, involving public indecency charges that have drawn significant media attention.
Court documents reveal that Lopez was accused of
“exposing his genitals, pubic hair, in a public place or place open to public view, or in any prison or jail, with the intent of arousing sexual desire or which appealed to the prurient interest or was patently offensive.”
He faces felony obscenity and sex crime charges with a bond set at $2,500. Lopez has entered a not guilty plea, and his next court date is slated for March 19.
Family Background and Past Relationships
Monty Lopez has three children: Addison Rae, along with sons Enzo, 18, and Lucas, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Sheri Easterling. He also has a daughter, Macye Neumeyer, from a previous relationship. Lopez and Easterling’s relationship history is complex; they married in 2004, divorced, and later remarried in 2014 before separating permanently in 2022.
Addison Rae has previously discussed the challenges of her childhood, noting that her father was not consistently present. She shared,
“From about to 3 to 6 for me … Dad wasn’t really in my life very much. I’m sure that was personal decisions on your part with Dad,”
and added,
“You guys, I’m sure, kind of established that, like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna need some space. We need to have our time to figure things out.’”
Post-Divorce Developments and Public Reactions
The end of Lopez and Easterling’s marriage in 2022 led to speculation about infidelity, although Lopez has not publicly addressed these claims. Easterling responded to the breakup on Instagram, stating,
“Personal matters being brought public are always challenging and overwhelming for anyone involved,”
and emphasized,
“I will be okay. 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.”
Following their split, Easterling was seen attending the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards with rapper Yung Gravy, where the couple exhibited public displays of affection. Lopez commented on the situation with a lighthearted post on Instagram,
“Unbothered! Thank you @youngravy for taking the leftovers!”

Meanwhile, Addison Rae experienced a significant personal change after ending her four-year relationship with boyfriend Omer Fedi last year. She has shifted her focus toward her music career, releasing a self-titled debut album and earning a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, an accolade ultimately won by Olivia Dean.
