Addison Rae’s father, Monty Lopez, has reportedly been arrested in Louisiana on a felony marijuana charge, adding to a string of controversies surrounding the social media personality.

According to reports, Lopez was taken into custody on April 28 and booked for alleged possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. The arrest came just days after police were called to his home on April 23 in response to what authorities described as a mental health-related complaint. That initial visit reportedly led to further investigation, ultimately resulting in the charge.

Jail records indicate that Lopez remains in custody, with his mugshot circulating online shortly after the news broke.

This is not his first encounter with legal trouble. Reports suggest he was previously arrested in 2025 in connection with an unrelated obscenity case, to which he pleaded not guilty.

Lopez, who gained public attention through his social media presence and connection to his daughter, has often made headlines for both his online activity and personal controversies. Meanwhile, Addison Rae, a major TikTok star turned singer and actress, has not publicly commented on the latest developments involving her father.

The case is ongoing, and further legal proceedings are expected to determine the outcome.
