Ricky Martin denies allegations he had an incestuous relationship with his 21-year-old nephew.
According to Puerto Rican news website El Vocero, a man took out a restraining order against the star. The man claimed he had dated the singer for 7 months.
“[Ricky] calls him frequently. In addition, the petitioner has seen him hanging around his residence on at least three occasions,” the docs read. “The petitioner fears for his safety.”
The man is reported to be his nephew.
The singer’s attorney, Marty Singer, said the singer denies having “any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew.”
“Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges,” the statement continued. “Ricky Martin has, of course, never been — and would never be– involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew,” the Hollywood heavyweight litigator added. “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.”
