Actor Baron Geisler has spoken out following reports of his recent arrest, addressing what he calls the spread of misinformation and revealing plans to seek legal counsel. The 42-year-old “Incognito” star took to social media to set the record straight, criticizing news outlets for allegedly publishing unverified details about the incident.
On February 22, 2025, at around 3:50 a.m., Geisler was arrested in Barangay Canduman, Mandaue City, Cebu. Authorities detained him at the Canduman Police Station for public intoxication after he allegedly caused a disturbance outside his brother-in-law’s residence. According to local reports, the actor was charged under Mandaue City’s Ordinance No. 11-2008-434, which penalizes public drunkenness.
Geisler was held at Police Station 6 of the Mandaue City Police Office for several hours before being released. His wife reportedly paid the P500 fine required for his release. While no further legal action has been announced, the incident quickly made headlines, sparking controversy online.
Geisler’s Response
Following his release, Geisler posted a statement on his official Facebook page, condemning what he described as “irresponsible journalism” that distorted the facts surrounding his detention.
“Breaking my silence. There’s a lot of misinformation circulating, especially from news outlets that failed to verify the facts before reporting,” he wrote. “Irresponsible journalism has blown things out of proportion, creating unnecessary confusion. I want to make it clear—I’m okay, and I’m seeking legal advice to address this properly.”
He also expressed gratitude to his supporters, assuring them of his well-being.
Geisler has long been known for his volatile past but has made significant efforts in recent years to turn his life around. He publicly embraced faith, sobriety, and family life, positioning himself for a comeback in the entertainment industry. His role in “Incognito” was viewed as part of his career resurgence.
However, this latest incident has led to renewed speculation about whether his past struggles may resurface, potentially affecting his professional path. While Geisler has not elaborated on the alleged misinformation, his legal team is expected to address the issue in the coming days.’
This controversy underscores the pressures faced by public figures, particularly in managing their personal lives under the spotlight. It also raises concerns about media accountability, emphasizing the need for factual reporting to prevent the spread of misinformation.
