Baron Geisler

Personal life Geisler enjoys drawing and writing poems. Geisler's family house was razed by fire twice in 2004.

In 2018, Geisler joined Maranatha Christian Fellowship, a "Bible-based, spirit-led congregation" in Cebu, and speaking about mental health awareness at various symposiums.

On September 12, 2019, Geisler married his girlfriend Jamie Marie Evangelista, a psychologist from Cebu City, in a civil wedding at the Quezon City Hall. Together, they have a daughter born in January 2020.

Geisler has been residing in Cebu since his marriage. Geisler announced that he was working on his AB Theology degree through a modular course in 2019. He completed such degree in 2022. In 2020, Geisler revealed that he enlisted to be a Philippine Navy reservist.

In September 2019, initial reports surfaced online saying that Geisler was conferred to the title of "Peace and Prosperity Ambassador" by Mohammadmamay Hasan Abdurajak and Maria Makiling Helen Fatima Nasaria Panolino Abdurajak allegedly from the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo, thus making Geisler a Datu of Sulu. However, this was dismissed officially by the Royal House of Sulu's Chancellery which stated that both Hasan and Helen Abdurajak are "commoners with no royal blood" and are "not even recognized by the Philippine government as one of the claimants to the Sultanate of Sulu".

On July 19, 2024, actress Nadia Montenegro revealed on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that Geisler is the father of her youngest daughter Sophia, who was born in 2006.

Controversies Geisler has been described as one of the most controversial actors of his generation. A self-proclaimed alcoholic who started drinking as early as 14 years old, Geisler made headlines early in his career after his mother confined him in a detox facility for 10 days and was involved in a high-profile bar brawl in Pampanga that left him visibly scarred in the face. Geisler was tagged as the "Wild Child" of Philippine showbiz, a nickname widely used in 2007 during his stint in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2.

Sexual assault In 2008, Geisler was charged with act of lasciviousness by Patrizha Martinez (daughter of fellow Pinoy Big Brother housemate Yayo Aguila and William Martinez), after he allegedly touched her breasts and made sexual advances while he was drunk during a party in a bar in Makati. Geisler denied the accusations. He was found guilty in 2013 and was sentenced to a minimum of six months and maximum of over two years in prison, in addition to paying to Martinez for damages and community service.

In 2009, Geisler faced another act of lasciviousness lawsuit from actress Yasmien Kurdi. According to news reports, Geisler allegedly made unwanted sexual advances towards Kurdi, groped her and masturbated in front of the actress while filming for the TV series SRO Cinemaserye. Kurdi agreed to withdraw the criminal charges in 2011 after the two actors reconciled.

In April 2010, Geisler was accused of harassing Eat Bulaga! co-host Julia Clarete during a wrap-up party for an independent film. Geisler reportedly groped Clarete in the buttocks and breasts while they were performing a song together on stage. Clarete affirmed the reports, but admitted that she intentionally downplayed the issue to avoid jeopardizing her own career.

In 2011, actress Cherry Pie Picache, accused Geisler of groping her breasts on the set of TV series Noah. Picache filed the complaint directly with the Philippine Artists Managers Incorporated (PAMI) and the management of ABS-CBN, seeking an "indefinite artist ban" for Geisler. Geisler was additionally accused of inappropriately kissing and groping a female member of the production staff. Child actors Zaijan Jaranilla and Xyriel Manabat were also said to have been traumatized by Geisler's "extreme" behavior while on set. Following the complaint, ABS-CBN immediately removed Geisler's character from Noah while PAMI issued a ban on working with Geisler for all artists managed by its members. Geisler was initially charged with malicious mischief and physical injuries, which were later dropped after the couple reached a settlement with Geisler. Geisler's brother and his manager claimed that the actor was struggling from bipolar disorder and may have missed his medication that night. The bouncers denied him entry as he was visibly drunk, which was against the bar's policies. Geisler reportedly then became aggressive and challenged the bouncers to a fistfight, but eventually left of his own accord. Geisler's management later released a statement claiming discrimination against the actor, adding that there was "no justifiable reason" for the bar's management to deny Geisler's admission other than his past reputation.

On September 15, 2015, Geisler was involved in a car accident but left unhurt. Geisler's SUV crashed with a 16-wheeler truck in Pasig before dawn. Geisler was presumably under the influence of alcohol according to early reports. Geisler's vehicle and the truck were brought to the Pasig traffic bureau as the investigation continued to determine who was at fault. According to a report from DZMM posted on the ABS-CBN website, the Traffic Division of Pasig said that Geisler was driving his car after his taping when he got into an accident with the truck. No one was hurt but according to Geisler, his companion during the clash suffered minor injuries.

On May 15, 2016, Geisler again featured in a viral video showing him verbally berating a production team and assaulting a student filmmaker from the University of the Philippines. Geisler was allegedly hired by the students for a school project, but was reportedly furious after the students failed to give him his script on time and resorted instead to using "idiot boards" or cue cards. Geisler's publicist issued a statement to the press the following day claiming that the viral video was "taken out of context". The video was taken later down after Geisler and the student resolved their issues, with both denying that the viral video was a staged publicity stunt.

Not long after on May 25, 2016, another viral video showed Geisler being involved in a brawl with independent film actor Kiko Matos in a bar in Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City. The video show Geisler attempting to shake hands with Matos after an apparent argument, but Matos instead repeatedly threw punches at Geisler instead before the rest of the bar patrons could separate them. Following the incident, Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC), a mixed-martial arts promoter, announced that the two actors will participate in an exhibition MMA match on June 25, 2016. The match ended in a 19–19 draw.

It was later revealed in December 2016 that the bar brawl between Geisler and Matos was a staged performance art for a documentary called Beastmode: A Social Experiment. The documentary's production, however, claims that the invitation from the URCC was unplanned and the subsequent MMA match was also not choreographed.

In November 2016, actor Ping Medina accused Geisler of urinating on him on the set of the movie Bubog during a scene in which Medina was gagged and his hands and feet were bound. In a prior conversation, Medina was made to believe that Geisler would only spit on him during the scene. Geisler apologized for the incident, adding he was drunk and on heavy medication during the filming of the scene. Geisler was removed from the film production, while PAMI meted out a second indefinite ban on Geisler on December 4, 2016. The ban was lifted in September 2017.

On October 16, 2017, Quezon City police arrested Geisler at a TGI Fridays branch in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. Geisler was charged with unjust vexation and alarm and scandal. He was released from jail after a week. Prior to the incident, Geisler also had a standing arrest warrant issued in Cebu for smoking inside a plane, in violation of the Civil Aviation Authority Act.

On March 5, 2018, Geisler was again arrested by Angeles City police after he threatened to kill his brother-in-law Michael Robinstone Morales. According to police reports, Geisler was seen shirtless and holding a kitchen knife while kicking the gate of Morales' house when police arrived to respond to Morales' call. He was charged with grave threat, alarm and scandal, and illegal possession of a deadly weapon. Morales dropped the charges when Geisler agreed to enter intensive rehab.

On February 22, 2025, Geisler was briefly detained and fined by police in Mandaue for public drunkenness.

Business venture During his time in Cebu where he took his alcohol rehabilitation in 2019, Geisler sold his property including his car to open up Gents Barber, a barber shop located in Gaisano Country Mall, Cebu City that employs recovering addicts and alcoholics.
