Through his attorney, Ricky Martin has strongly denied a bizarre accusation on Friday that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with his 21-year-old nephew that turned abusive.
“Unfortunately, the person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges,” Martin’s attorney, Marty Singer said in a statement provided to TheWrap. “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.
