Ricky Martin’s lawyer is speaking out following allegations of domestic violence against the singer. In early July, the Associated Press reported that a restraining order had been filed against Martin. At the time, the complainant’s identity was protected under the Domestic Abuse Prevention and Intervention Act. The documents stated that the petitioner feared for his safety. Martin denied these claims. The former Menudo star made a statement on social media about the matter. “The order of protection issued against me is based on completely false allegations, so I will respond through the legal process with the facts and dignity that characterize me,” he wrote. “Because it is an ongoing legal matter, I cannot make detailed statements at this time. I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity and take them wholeheartedly.” On July 13, Spanish news website Marca reported that Martin’s nephew, Denis Yadiel Sanchez, had filed the complaint against his uncle. Sanchez alleged that his uncle had physically and psychologically abused him during a seven-month romantic relationship. Now, Marty Singer, Martin’s attorney, is speaking out. “Unfortunately, the individual who made this claim is struggling with profound mental health challenges,” Singer said in a statement to Yahoo. “Ricky Martin, of course, has never – and never will – be involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew. The idea is not only untrue, but disgusting,” he continued. “We all hope this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But most of all, we look forward to seeing this awful case dismissed once a judge looks at the facts.” Marca claims the American Crime Story star could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted. Martin is also being sued by his former manager, Rebecca Drucker. Drucker claims the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer owes her more than $3 million in unpaid royalties. Variety reports that the documents refer to a “potentially career-ending claim” that Drucker was able to protect the singer’s career and guide Martin into 2020.
