Ricky Martin and Lawyer denied domestic violence allegations.
A Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and actor, Enrique Martín Morales, known as Ricky Martin, 50, shared a tweet in which he shared a statement claiming the allegations untrue and disgusting.
"The protection order entered against me is based on completely false allegations, so I will respond through the judicial process with the facts and the dignity that characterize me,"
"Because it is an ongoing legal matter, I cannot make detailed statements at this time. I am grateful for the countless messages of solidarity, and I receive them with all my heart."

A Spanish news site Marca earlier reported that Martin’s nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, had filed the complaint against his uncle in which he claimed his uncle had been physically and psychologically abusive during a seven-month-long romantic relationship.
Marty Singer, an attorney for Martin, also shared his views,
“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, it is disgusting, We all hope that this man gets the help he so urgently needs. But, most of all, we look forward to this awful case being dismissed as soon as a judge gets to look at the facts.”
