Addison Rae's father, Monty Lopez, sparked confusion and concern when he posted his own obituary.
After the Monday, August 3, upload to his social media accounts, his Wikipedia page listed the 50-year-old as deceased, but it's since been changed to no longer include a death date.
Addison Rae's dad posted his own obituary on Monday, August 3.
"Monty Lopez will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his love for family and friends, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life," the post read. "Throughout his life, he cherished time with those he loved and worked to make a lasting impact through his relationships and experiences."
"He is survived by his children, family members, and loved ones, who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him," the message concluded. "His legacy will love on through the lives he touched, the stories he created, and the love he gave."
The post also said a "celebration of his life" would be announced by the family at an "appropriate time."

Inside Monty Lopez's String of Troubles
Monty Lopez said he had been to the ER three times in the last two weeks.
Lopez — whose birth name is Manolito Juan Lopez — has a history of troubling behavior.
Just last summer, he was arrested and accused of "exposing his g-------, pubic hair, in a public place or place open to public view, or in any prison or jail, with the intent of arousing sexual desire or which appealed to the prurient interest or was patently offensive."
Though the arrest occurred in July 2025, the Louisiana police department cited August 31, 2024 as the day the incident occurred. It wasn't reported until this February. He pleaded not guilty, but there's been no record of the outcome.
The singer's parents, Monty Lopez and Sheri Easterling, married and divorced twice.
Lopez also sparked headlines over his relationship with Rae's mom, Sheri Easterling.
Lopez and Easterling first divorced when the singer was a child, but they reunited and got married for a second time in 2017. However, in 2022, a woman named Renée Ash claimed she was in a relationship with Lopez.
At the time, a source told people that the pop star'a parents had "been separated for a year."
