With 40 million followers, her own fragrance line, and millions in sponsored content deals, Addison Rae is undeniably one of the most successful influencers on the planet.
But at that level of popularity, a good deal of unwanted attention is inevitable.
And Addison is uncharacteristically quiet today as her family faces yet another scandal.
According to a new report from Page Six, Rae’s father, Monty Lopez, has been accused of lying to a 25-year-old model with the goal of luring her into a sexual relationship.
The allegation comes from a woman named Renee Ash who spoke with the outlet after her relationship with Lopez went sour.
“Unfortunately, he misled me on his marriage, he lied to me,” Ash told Page Six.
“He told me that we were going to be together and have babies together.”
Ash went on to claim that Lopez told her that his marriage had come to an end.
Despite their 21-year age difference (and the fact that Renee is just a few years older than Addison) the relationship got so serious that Lopez introduced Ash to his mother and brother.
“He even introduced me to his mom, his youngest brother and I thought we had something real,” she told Page Six.
“He told me a story of his marriage that convinced me that they were apart and in the process of getting a divorce.”
Ash even supplied the outlet with screenshots of text exchanges between Lopez and herself.
She says the relationship might have continued were it not for a viral TikTok video (which has since been deleted) in which Lopez could be seen groping a 19-year-old model.
“Addison Rae’s dad is trying to f—k me, I swear to God,” the teen told her followers.
“If anybody was hurting, it was me and his family. I am beyond sorry for that,” Ash said of her time with Lopez.
“I loved him and I believed him. When I found out about the other young girls, my heart broke,” she continued.
“I am so sorry if anything I have said has hurt his family any more than he already has. And I am also sorry that he has hurt me so deeply that I believed we were in love.”
One insider tells Page Six that Lopez became jealous and possessive toward the end of the relationship.
“Anytime she spoke to a male, Renée would never hear the end of it,” the source claims. “Monty would threaten to break up with her over stuff that he seemed to be doing himself.”
The couple nearly split following a pregnancy scare in mid-June, before finally calling it quits this week as a result of Monty’s alleged infidelity.
As for Addison, she has yet to speak out the allegations toward her father, and fans expect that she’ll steer clear of social media for the foreseeable future.
Back in 2020, Rae disappeared from TikTok for several weeks after allegations of racial insensitivity threatened to derail her career.
