Ricky Martin's lawyers released a statement denying claims that the singer had a relationship with his nephew.
“
Ricky Martin released a statement through his lawyer and has denied
“
claims that he was involved in a months-long relationship with his nephew and has
“
deemed the allegations "untrue" and "disgusting." The statement comes after multiple reports out
“
of Puerto Rico alleged that Martin and his nephew allegedly carried on a seven-month affair.
“
In a statement reported by Entertainment Tonight, Martin's lawyer said, "Unfortunately the
“
person who made this claim is struggling with deep mental health challenges.
“
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, but it is also disgusting." The nephew has allegedly claimed that he
“
was a target of physical and psychological attacks after he allegedly broke things off with Martin.
