Ricky Martin Denies Incestuous Relationship With 21-Year-Old Nephew

Ricky Martin Denies Having Sexual Relationship With His Cousin

Ricky Martin denies all claims of an incestuous relationship with his nephew after the 21 year old man claimed they were involved “romantically and sexually.”

A statement from the singer’s lawyer, Martin Singer. says the allegations are false and claims his nephew is “struggling” with his mental health.

“Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges. 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 wrote to Deadline.

“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,” Singer continued.

As previously reported, Ricky Martin’s 21-year-old nephew in Puerto Rico made allegations of domestic abuse in addition to an incestuous affair that reportedly occurred for seven months.

Earlier this month, Martin was given a temporary restraining order. A hearing for the allegations has been set for July 21, and if found guilty, the singer faces a 50-year prison sentence.

“The allegations against Ricky Martin that lead to a protection order are completely false and fabricated. We are very confident that when the true facts come out in this matter our client Ricky Martin will be fully vindicated,” his representatives said in a statement about the domestic abuse allegations to People.
