Lauper, 72, rose to stardom in the '80s as an MTV staple with hit songs like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "Time After Time," and "She Bop." With a slew of awards under her belt, the beloved star continues to perform to this day. But for her son, Dex, 29, things have gotten a bit more complicated as he appeared in court on Friday to face charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Lucky for Dex, the aspiring musician received one year of interim probation for the bust, which came when cops found a gun on him after a friend was shot in the leg in Upper Manhattan on Feb. 7, 2024.
What Happened When Dex Lauper Got Arrested?
When Lauper was initially arrested on gun possession charges back in 2024, he attempted to use his mother's celebrity to get out of trouble, a previous New York Post article stated.
“I grew up, my mom is Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” Lauper allegedly told a detective, the Post shared.
