Cheating allegations against Monty Lopez first surfaced after two TikTok videos gained massive traction on July 4, 2022. In one video, Monty is seen getting inappropriately close to a woman in a club. The same lady is later heard saying:

"Addison Rae's dad is trying to f**k me right now, I swear to god!"

A few days later, 25-year-old Instagram Influencer Renée Ash revealed that she and Lopez were in a romantic relationship. She took to Instagram to share her side of the tale. She posted a story of herself with Lopez with the text "5 months wasted" written on it. She even shared a screenshot of a text conversation between the two, where Lopez had allegedly said "I love you" to Renée.

In a tell-all interview with Six Pages, Renée Ash shared that Lopez had lied to her that his marriage to Rae's mom was over. She added that Monty had led her on to believe that they would get married and have children together. She said:

He even introduced me to his mom and his youngest brother and I thought we had something real. He told me a story of his marriage that convinced me that they were apart and in the process of getting a divorce.”

She added:

“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.”

She revealed that she wanted to be the person who was "brave enough to tell the truth." Expressing her concern for Addison and her mom, she shared that neither they nor all the women he was involved with deserved disrespect. Monty Lopez's alleged ex-girlfriend continued to say:

I hope telling my story sheds light on a man who has gotten away with their power in the industry for too long.”

Based on Ash's statement, the couple was together for five months, after which they broke up due to an alleged pregnancy scare.

She also took to Instagram to announce that her children and their mental health were her priority during this "challenging and overwhelming" time.
