TikTok star and member of The Hype House, Tony Lopez, has been sued by two underage girls, who have levelled serious allegations of sexual battery against him.
In an exclusive scoop by TMZ, it is revealed that Tony Lopez has been accused of using social media to groom and exploit two underage girls, the details of which have been included in an incriminating lawsuit.

Tony Lopez has however, denied these allegations, stating that he has never sent explicit pictures to them and that he will fight on till the very end.
