Ricky Martin’s Attorney Denies Singer Had ‘Sexual Or Romantic Relationship With His Nephew’

etcanada.com:

Ricky Martin’s attorney is firing back after several reports alleged the star may have had an abusive and incestuous relationship with his 21-year-old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez. “Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges,” Martin’s attorney Marty Singer said in a statement to ET Canada on Friday. “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.” “We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs,” the celeb attorney added. “But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts.” READ MORE: Ricky Martin Denies ‘Completely False And Fabricated’ Domestic Abuse Allegations In Restraining Order The latest allegations against Martin come just weeks after a then-unnamed plaintiff in Puerto Rico was granted a temporary restraining order against Martin, 50, after the petitioner claimed the singer was abusive towards them.

The identity of the plaintiff was kept anonymous by authorities due to the nature of the accusations. However, earlier this week, Spanish news outlet Marca reported that Eric Martin, the singer’s brother, identified the petitioner as the star’s 21-year-old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez.

According to Marca, Martin and Sanchez had an approximately 7-month long romantic relationship before Sanchez ended the affair.
