Addison Rae’s mother seeks full custody of youngest son following ex husband’s arrest

In a significant legal development, Sheri Nicole Easterling, mother of TikTok sensation and singer Addison Rae, has filed to gain sole custody of her 12 year old son, Lucas Lopez.

The move comes seven months after her ex-husband, Monty Lopez, was arrested on a felony obscenity charge.

The 46 year old matriarch has requested the court to grant her primary custody and child support for Lucas, while suggesting that Lopez be allowed only supervised visitation due to a history of alleged verbal and physical abuse.

In legal filings obtained by TMZ, Easterling detailed incidents dating back to 2005, including claims of physical aggression and intimidation.

The couple, who wed in 2004, divorced in 2017, briefly remarried in 2018, and finalized their divorce in 2022, have faced a turbulent history.

Lopez’s arrest in July 2024 involved allegedly exposing himself in public, and he has pled not guilty, with the next court date scheduled for March 19.

Sheri Easterling also recounted an October 2024 incident where Lopez showed up at her home with his second wife, Kaitlyn Nicole Lopez, reportedly banging violently on the door, prompting her to call police.

Easterling has since moved on, marrying high school football coach Jess Curtis in 2024.

Lucas is Addison Rae’s youngest sibling, her other brother, Enzo Lopez, is now an adult. Despite family challenges, Rae herself continues to flourish professionally.

The social media star, who joined TikTok in 2019, boasts over 127 million followers and maintains a strong presence on Spotify, averaging 18 million monthly listeners.

She is set to headline “The Addison Tour,” performing at Lollapalooza festivals across Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia in March.

Additionally, Rae has a role in the upcoming Warner Bros. live-action/CG hybrid film Animal Friends, alongside stars like Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, and Aubrey Plaza.

As the custody proceedings unfold, Addison Rae’s family dynamics remain under intense public scrutiny, even as the young star continues to expand her global music and acting career.
