Monty Lopez, father of social media star Addison Rae, was arrested for allegedly exposing himself at a Walgreens in Lafayette, Louisiana, on July 31, 2024. The arrest, connected to indecent exposure allegations, was confirmed by police records obtained on February 25, 2025, as part of an ongoing case involving Lopez.
Lopez, 50, was taken into custody and charged with felony obscenity and a sex crime by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office, with his bond set at $2,500. According to the sheriff’s office, the charge stems from
“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”
—a violation considered especially serious under local law. Lopez pleaded not guilty, and his next court appearance is scheduled for March 19, 2025.
Background on Lopez’s Family Life and Past Relationships
Monty Lopez shares three children with his ex-wife Sheri Easterling, including Addison Rae, 25, known for her TikTok fame and recent music career, as well as sons Enzo, 18, and Lucas, 12. He also has a daughter named Macye Neumeyer from a previous relationship. Lopez and Easterling were first married in 2004 and divorced before rekindling their relationship in 2014; however, they officially separated again in 2022.
Addison Rae has publicly discussed her complicated childhood experience with Lopez, noting in a 2020 interview that from ages three to six, her father was largely absent. She explained,
