Ricky Martin is suing the man who allegedly leveled false accusations against him because he claims that he has been “persecuted, besieged, harassed, stalked and extorted by a maladjusted person,” i.e. his nephew. Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who Martin claims is attempting to “assassinate” his reputation, was the target of a lawsuit that was filed against him on Wednesday in San Juan.
Ricky claimed that Dennis’s claim that he and Ricky had a 7-month romantic relationship and that when it ended, Ricky started stalking and harassing him was demonstrably false. Dennis made the claim back in July. When the pressure was on him, the nephew withdrew the entire restraining order that he had filed.
Ricky Martin Filing $20 Million Lawsuit Against Nephew Who Accused Him Of Sexual Abuse
Before Dennis requested a restraining order, according to Ricky, he was openly bragging about being Ricky’s nephew in the lawsuit. For four months, according to Ricky, the nephew barraged him with messages, sometimes sending more than ten in a single day. According to Ricky, it was obvious who wrote the messages: a “maladjusted individual.”
The singer’s phone number was then posted on Instagram, according to Ricky, after the nephew apparently went rogue. Additionally, according to Ricky, the nephew created an Instagram account for one of his kids, which alarmed him. Ricky claims he has lost numerous, multi-million dollar deals as a result of his nephew’s unfounded accusations, and he is now seeking a minimum of $20 million in damages from the singer.
Ricky claims that because of Dennis’ actions, he and his family feel “unsafe” in Puerto Rico. He wants the judge to rule that Dennis must stop talking to Ricky and his family completely.
