Ricky Martin's Nephew Withdraws Court Case as Restraining Order Dismissed | PEOPLE

[SableSnowhite]

The nephew was lying to strike back at Ricky for cutting certain family members off ( after they would use him, blackmail him etc about embarrassing traumas that were inflicted on him) his nephew knew for Ricky to defend himself that would mean a bigger story would come out that Ricky has kept from public knowledge . I'm so glad Ricky won this B. S. Case

[Kenny_D]

People are saying Ricky used his money to get out of this case, but we don’t exactly know that. At least not yet. We don’t know celebrities that well, so it’s possible that his nephew really does have issues. Or Ricky did pay his nephew off. The right thing to do is stay neutral and support Ricky with his EP, Play, because we waited two years for this since Pausa.

[royaldiadem]

What if this was all simply for his nephew to get a pay day?

[Prii]

Unless it actually did happened and he just paid him off! I wouldn't be surprised. This allegation doesn't just come out of no where.

Ricky Martin in Puerto Rico? Case dismissed

[sweetbubblez]

Idk how can Ricky Martin ever forgive his own nephew… he could of ruin his life. This is such a case. I knew Ricky was innocent been a big fan of hun since I was a kid and when he came out he was gay. May god bless you along the way Ricky and may your nephew get the help he needs cause he could of messed up your life completely

[MrKelvin]

he wasn't accused of sexual abuse. it was a restraining order for two weeks for domestic abuse. which was false, and the nephew himself has a criminal history against him.

[marthamendoza]

I wonder if he wasn't paid or somehow minupulated.

[sdsurfgirl]

He's a good person to refer to his accuser as troubled instead of crazy.

[JaneDoe-cigj]

I would reallt like a liespotting video on Ricky Martins statement video! His body language in that video was totalt incongruent with what he was saying. He said he was telling the truth yet shaked his head when he said it etc!

[ericryanyawl]

But now people with no critical thinking skills will always believe he did it.

[atravessandolimites]

I ask who is attacking Ricky and defending Dennis Sanxhez who told this lie that you are supporting and gossiping against ricky
if your cousin or cousin, denouncing your father or mother for domestic violence, claiming that you had a relationship with them, and all your friends, colleagues, people on the internet who don't even know you properly, were attacking your father and mother, so is a cousin of yours accusing them? how would you feel? being you adults? How would you feel if you had people younger than you in your father's or mother's family?
want? for your father and mother, what do you wish for Ricky martin?

[gaia-papaya]

I never believed this in the 1st place, Ricky has a chicken heart 🥹❣️

[bbygrl]

Amber Heard #2. I never believed he did anything wrong. People can be so gross.

[carmenmiranda]

If, if Ricky Martin did such a thing, he must be DESPERATE or PSYCHO or both because he has an amazing and gorgeous MAN at home. I really never believed it but there some crazy thing happening in this world. I hope this mess doesn't tarnish his career. If he can prove it was all a lie, he should sue him for creating such stories. This can happen again. I hope not, cause I feel sorry for his kids, they always pay for the sins of their fathers, Not cool.

[xtina__]

I’m trying to figure out how it’s abuse if it was called a relationship and he was an adult 🤷🏾‍♀️

[nomalangak]

I believe the nephew, I hope someone else will come forward to expose him

[EmperorGuyver]

Yeeeah... This smells of bribery. And it's kinda pathetic how many pop star robotic simps, are so quickly to dismiss this kid. Kinda shows what kind of people are out there raising the current/next generation

[vanessaraices]

People with money, has too deal with families matter and ugly stuff. Poor martin
