Ricky Martin's Nephew Withdraws Affair and Harassment Claims, Judge Dissmisses Case
According to the filing, the man claimed that he and Martin dated for seven months before breaking up two months ago. The petitioner alleged that Martin did not accept the separation and accused him of stalking and harassment. The order alleged that Marin called him frequently and had been seen loitering near his house at least three times. “The petitioner fears for his safety,” the order said.
“Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges," Martin's attorney Marty Singers told NBC earlier this week."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.”
Martin responded to the original order in a short statement posted to his social media earlier this month:"The protection order entered against me is based on completely false allegations, so I will respond through the judicial process with the facts and the dignity that characterizes me. Because it is an ongoing legal matter, I cannot make detailed statements at this time. I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity, and I receive them with all my heart.
