The younger man claims he had a seven-month-long sexual relationship with his uncle.He said when he broke it off a couple of months ago, Martin reacted badly and harassed him over the decision, prompting the legal action.Responding to the claims, Martin’s lawyer Marty Singer told Deadline on Friday, “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.”“We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs,” Singer said. “But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts.”This statement was echoed by Martin’s own younger half-brother, Eric Martin.
