5:43 PM PDT, July 15, 2022 is vehemently denying he was involved in a months-long relationship with his nephew, calling the allegations"untrue" and"disgusting."
In a statement to ET, the singer's lawyer, Marty Singer, says,"Unfortunately the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges." Singer added,"Ricky Martin has, of course, never been -- and would never be -- involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew."
"The idea is not only untrue, it is disgusting," he continued."We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts." According to multiple reports out of Puerto Rico, Martin and the nephew allegedly carried on a seven-month affair. What's more, the nephew alleges he was the target of physical and psychological attacks after he allegedly broke things off with Martin.
Reports also say that, because this is considered incest, the penalty for such a crime in Puerto Rico is 50 years in prison. The news outlet El Vocero in Puerto Rico also reported that Martin's brother, Eric Martin, claimed the accusations stem from a nephew with mental health problems.
