Case Dismissed! After Ricky Martin’s Testimony This Morning, His Nephew Has Withdrawn His Complaint

Apparently, Ricky Martin’s version of La Vida Loca in 2022 involves getting up at the ass crack of dawn and hopping on a Zoom call from Puerto Rico to testify against his 21-year-old nephew who had accused him of domestic abuse and engaging in a 7-month sexual relationship with him. And luckily for him, before I ever got a chance to use the nickname Icky Ricky, he’s in the clear. Variety reports that following Ricky’s testimony, the nephew withdrew his complaint and the case has been dismissed. As such, the temporary restraining order filed by the nephew was not extended.

I guess this means Thanksgiving is back on! Variety reports:

Ricky Martin’s nephew withdrew his harassment and affair claims against the singer in a July 21 court appearance, which effectively closed the case.

Joaquín Monserrate Matienzo, Carmelo Dávila and Harry Massanet Pastrana, the attorneys for Martin, released a statement about the dismissal.

“Just as we had anticipated, the temporary protection order was not extended by the Court,” the statement reads. “The accuser confirmed to the court that his decision to dismiss the matter was his alone, without any outside influence or pressure, and the accuser confirmed he was satisfied with his legal representation in the matter. The request came from the accuser asking to dismiss the case. This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them. We are glad that our client saw justice done and can now move forward with his life and his career.”

Martin appeared virtually in a Puerto Rico court to address the allegations made by his 21-year-old nephew. Prior to this in early July, Martin had been served a restraining order by his nephew that cited abuse. Martin had denied the allegations against him, with the singer’s lawyer offering a statement regarding the matter last Friday.

Ricky is still facing the $3 million dollar lawsuit filed by his former manager, Rebecca Drunker, seeking unpaid commissions in which she accused him of “reckless indiscretions,” “abhorrent behavior,” and of having “a personal life… in disarray,”  but all of that can be explained by that black cat and voodoo doll loving mujer who’s had him under her spell since 1999. According to Deadline, Rebecca has obliquely threatened to reveal all his alleged dirty secrets if he doesn’t settle. But really, with the accusations of incest out of the way, what’s left? The only thing that could be more shocking is if we found out that La Vida Loca was actually written about … A MAN!
