Singer Ricky Martin said he “never had to deal with anything so painful” as the accusation of abuse of his nephew and that he was “the victim of the lie”.

The indictment against Martin emerged in early July, when Puerto Rico justice issued the aforementioned restraining order against the singer for domestic violence. As local legislation guarantees the anonymity of the victims, there was no information on who made the request.
At the time, celebrity websites revealed that the singer and the alleged victim had been in a relationship for seven months, but the ex Menudo didn’t accept the end. On Twitter, Martin informed fans that the court ruling was based on “completely false allegations”, as he has been married for five years to Jwan Yosef, with whom he has four children.

And what they heard is that the accuser himself chose to drop the charge.
“The petitioner has voluntarily ceased his claims, so the case has been closed and no further proceedings are needed,” the court spokesman said.
In a press release, Martin’s legal team celebrated the result. “This has never been anything but a problematic individual who has made false claims with absolutely nothing to prove. We are delighted that our client has seen justice done and can now move on with his life and career,” they said in a statement. .
