For those wondering why Alexis found herself in prison, per HITC, it was for “forgery and possession of methamphetamine.” Alexis was 20 years old at the time, and she has revealed that she was in jail for eight months.
So, Did Tasia Alexis Feature on a Disney Channel Show?
Of course, it goes without saying that 2014 and 2022 rumors notwithstanding, Tasia Alexis never actually featured on the Disney Channel or worked with the Walt Disney Company. These were just rumors circulating about the internet that never actually came to fruition.
Now, Tasia Alexis Hussey, per her own admission, has stepped away from her Vine-making days and personality and is interested in focusing on living a more peaceful life inspired by her Christian faith.
