Actress and singer-songwriter Alix Lapri, best known for her portrayal of Effie Morales in Power and its spinoff Power Book II: Ghost, has reportedly been arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia.
According reports, Lapri—real name Alexus Lapri Geier—was booked into the DeKalb County Jail on August 18, 2025, on charges of third‑degree cruelty to children and disorderly conduct, before being released the following day, August 19.
Georgia law defines third‑degree cruelty to children not necessarily as direct physical harm, but as committing or allowing a child under 18 to witness a forcible felony, battery, or family violence battery.
Michael Rainey Speaks:
The situation gained traction online after what appeared to be a mugshot went viral alongside early reports that Lapri had been arrested. Lapri co-star, Michael Rainey spoke out on the charges after the reports went viral. “On the real though y’all gotta start reading before commenting. She didn’t hurt any kids. Y’all are hoping that’s the case so bad… that’s crazy smh.”
