Monty Lopez, the father of TikTok sensation Addison Rae, is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. On April 28, 2026, he was arrested for felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, just days after police visited his home for a mental health call. It’s a classic case of the situation going from bad to worse when the cops showed up looking for one thing but ended up uncovering another.
Just imagine the scene: police cars outside Monty’s home following reports of a mental health concern, only to discover he had more than just a few bumps in the mental road. The arrest has raised eyebrows not only for Monty but also for his daughter’s reputation as a social media star. It quickly escalated from concern to criminal charges, and now Monty finds himself donning an orange jumpsuit instead of dancing in TikTok videos.
This isn’t Monty’s first brush with the law; he had a previous run-in back in July 2025 for unrelated charges. At this point, you have to wonder if someone in this family is taking a page out of a reality show script. What’s next for Monty? It seems like we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for more unexpected news on the Lopez family front!
