The star’s attorney denied any charges. His brother also defended the artist: “Our nephew suffers from mental disorders”
“They are false accusations and also disgusting”: this is how Marty Singer, Ricky Martin’s lawyer, has labeled the accusations made in recent days by the nephew of the Puerto Rican star, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez. The 21-year-old son of star Vanessa’s half-sister, claimed to have had a seven-month clandestine affair with Martinwhich ended a couple of months ago and to have suffered domestic violence (because the singer, not having accepted the end of the relationship, he would begin to wander around his nephew’s house and fill it with phone calls and messages, leading him to file a complaint for stalking). “The person who made this claim is going through profound mental health challenges,” Singer told Variety and TMZ. Of course Ricky Martin has never been involved in any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with his nephew. We all hope this man gets the help he urgently needs. But above all we are looking forward to a judge being able to examine the facts and therefore dismiss the case ».

The hearing – for the review of the restraining order issued against Martin – will be held on 21 July. If you go to trial in case of conviction, the star risks up to 50 years of imprisonment (the maximum penalty under Puerto Rican law for the crimes Martin is accused of). Meanwhile, the brother of the pop star, Eric, took his defense: “If anyone has seen my dear nephew who has been missing from the family for some time, this is a message for him – he said in a live Facebook -. His family loves him, that he has mental problems is another matter, we have struggled all our life with this problem. I’m tired of being silent ».
