The pop star’s father, Monty Lopez, is asking a judge to intervene in an increasingly bitter separation from his estranged wife, Kaitlyn. Court documents reveal he’s accusing her of violating a temporary protective order he secured earlier this year, alleging she’s reached out to him multiple times despite being ordered to stay away.
The couple married in Las Vegas in October 2025 and separated less than a month later. What followed was a whirlwind of legal drama that has now pulled the Obsessed singer into the center of the chaos. Monty was arrested in April on a felony charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and just days later, he filed for the protective order against Kaitlyn.
Monty’s biggest concern now isn’t just the alleged contact; it’s Kaitlyn’s social media activity. He claims she has been posting photos of Addison Rae on her Instagram story and adding the singer’s songs to her posts. She also posted photos of Monty and herself as a couple and allegedly asked the public for money, which Monty described as unstable behavior .
He argues that Kaitlyn “continues to post my daughter and my family on multiple occasions”, dragging the 25-year-old into a legal battle she never asked to be part of. The protective order is meant to keep Kaitlyn away, but Monty claims she’s weaponizing his famous daughter’s name online.
Addison Rae’s relationship with her father has been complicated for years. Monty and her mother, Sheri Easterling, married in 2004, divorced, reconciled, and split again in 2022 amid cheating allegations. In 2025, Sheri filed for sole custody of their youngest son, citing Monty’s history of legal troubles and alleged verbal abuse .
Monty has faced multiple arrests, including a felony obscenity charge for allegedly exposing himself in public, and a separate drug possession case. He agreed to a DNA test earlier this year as part of a custody battle. Now, his latest marriage has unraveled in spectacular fashion, and Addison finds herself mentioned in court filings she never signed up for.
Kaitlyn has publicly denied Monty’s claims. She told reporters she did not threaten anyone with a weapon, a reference to his allegation that she pulled a gun during an altercation. She described being caught in something “far more serious and dangerous than I ever understood,” saying the situation has affected her safety, finances, and ability to function.
Monty has filed for divorce from Kaitlyn, and the two are scheduled to face off in court. Meanwhile, Addison has yet to address the situation publicly. For a star who built her brand on positivity and pop energy, this family drama is the last thing she needs. But in the world of celebrity legal battles, blood ties are often the hardest to escape.
