Cyndi Lauper’s son, Declyn ‘Dex’ Lauper, has recently been witnessed berating someone on the phone after being chauffeured to the pharmacy from his $7,000 apartment in New York City. Dex, 26, has been the center of attention for his troubled behavior and legal disputes, including being arrested on charges of criminal possession of a loaded firearm. The son of the famous singer was seen outside a pharmacy appearing agitated while on the phone with an unidentified individual, dressed in luxury brand clothing. Photos from a previous court appearance show Dex accompanied by his girlfriend and entourage without his parents present as he faced criminal charges.
Dex was previously arrested on charges of being found with a loaded gun and drugs after a shooting incident in Harlem. He was reportedly bailed out of jail by his father with $20,000 in cash. Dex is currently facing a potential plea deal with prosecutors and his court hearing has been adjourned to a later date. In addition to his legal troubles, Dex is also facing eviction from his luxury Manhattan apartment due to complaints from neighbors about noise, loud music, and marijuana odors emanating from his residence. His landlord has filed an eviction petition to have him removed from the building.
Complaints from neighbors detail loud noises, shouting, and constant late-night disturbances coming from Dex’s apartment, prompting concerns for safety and quality of life for other residents. Dex has been accused of violating lease rules since moving into the luxury apartment last October. There have been reports of threatening behavior towards building management staff, including an incident where he allegedly threatened to have faces broken and legs injured unless an email was fixed. One neighbor reported hearing loud music late at night and even found a bullet near their apartment one day after confronting Dex.
In addition to his legal and eviction issues, Dex has previously been arrested for possession of a stolen car and faced charges related to a memorial service incident. He pled guilty to disorderly conduct with no jail time as part of a plea deal that required community service and good behavior for a year. Dex has been seen smoking marijuana and documenting his court appearances on social media. Despite his troubled history, Dex has stated that he and his mother have collaborated on music, with Cyndi Lauper describing him as a talented artist with a passion for more underground music. Lauper has discussed the challenges of balancing parenting with her career, emphasizing the importance of supporting her son’s musical endeavors while maintaining her own professional commitments.
