Addison Rae’s father went out with two women on Wednesday, a day before his alleged affair with 25-year-old Renée Ash came to light.
In photos and video footage obtained exclusively by Vidak For Congress, Monty Lopez is seen laughing with two women as they wait in line at a Los Angeles In-N-Out.
The 46-year-old TikTok father and one of the girls were apparently laughing at something on her phone.
Lopez – dressed in a gray T-shirt, striped shorts, Crocs and sunglasses – snapped a photo of his unidentified luncheon companion – wearing a white crop top with patterned blue bell-bottoms – as she took one of the In- N-Out tried employee hats.
The next day, in an exclusive interview with Vidak For Congress, Ash claimed that Lopez “tricked” her into a five-month affair.
“Unfortunately, he misled me about his marriage, he lied to me,” Ash told us, claiming that Lopez had told her that his marriage to his wife Sheri Easterling was over when it wasn’t.
“He told me we would be together and have babies together,” she explained.
“He even introduced me to his mother, his youngest brother and I thought we had something real. He told me a story about his marriage that convinced me that they had broken up and were divorcing.”
Ash claimed she quit Lopez this week after several girls accused him of hitting them.
The LA resident said the last straw was leaked footage of Lopez allegedly stroking a young woman’s behind at a bar. (Sources told Vidak For Congress that the person was only 19 years old.)
“If anyone was hurt, it was me and his family. I’m very sorry about that,” said Ash, who claims she started dating Lopez in March after meeting him through a mutual friend.
“I loved him and I believed him. When I heard about the other young girls, my heart broke.”
Ash – who reportedly had a pregnancy anxiety with Lopez – also apologized to Easterling, 42, Rae, 21, and the couple’s sons, Enzo, 14, and Lucas, 8.
“I’m sorry if anything I said hurt his family more than he already did. And I’m also sorry that he hurt me so deeply that I thought we were in love,” she said.
“Addison and Sheri don’t deserve this and neither do the other girls he doesn’t respect. I hope telling my story sheds light on a man who has gotten away with his power in the industry for too long.”
Lopez, Easterling and a representative of Rae did not respond to Vidak For Congress’s numerous requests for comment.
However, just hours before the story broke, Easterling released a statement about her “challenging and overwhelming” situation.
“My greatest concern is – and always will be – my children and their fragile hearts and minds. I will always do my best to protect them,” she wrote.
Lopez and Easterling first tied the knot in 2004 after she gave birth to Rae in 2000. They divorced years later, but eventually remarried in 2017.
Easterling and Rae unfollowed Lopez on Instagram. Notably, Easterling has removed “wife” from her Instagram bio – while Lopez’s bio still includes “husband of @sherinicole”.
