Ricky Martin Speaks Out Publicly for First Time About Nephew's False Claims: 'It Has Been So Painful'

Ricky Martin is speaking publicly in a new video following the news that his nephew withdrew the claims he made about the singer.

The 50-year-old singer’s nephew claimed they had a relationship that lasted seven months, and that Ricky allegedly stalked and harassed him.

During a court hearing on Thursday (July 21), the accuser asked to dismiss the case.

Ricky‘s lawyer said, “This was never anything more than a troubled individual making false allegations with absolutely nothing to substantiate them.”

Now, Ricky is speaking publicly about the case for the first time.
