Ricky Martin sues his nephew for $20 million

Ricky Martin strikes back.

While last July, the Puerto Rican authorities cleared him of the allegations of incest by his nephew, the singer decided, in turn, to attack the young man.

The

singer is claiming $20 million for defamation, and her lawyers have been ruthless.

"Plaintiff Sanchez's reckless, malicious, and culpable actions were motivated by a desire to expose the defendant to the hatred and contempt of his fans, threaten his business opportunities, and destroy his reputation," reads the statement. complaint relayed by Deadline.

Not safe

We also learn that Dennie Yadiel Sanchez, described as "misfit", would continue to threaten the reputation of his uncle, and that Ricky Martin and his family no longer feel safe in Puerto Rico.

“These culpable actions have also caused damage to the reputation (of Ricky Martin) who, until the protective order became public knowledge, enjoyed an impeccable reputation acquired through his long artistic and selfless career during the last forty years of his life,” the document also reads.

It's hard to know how this case will end, but it seems obvious that Ricky Martin's nephew will never be able to pay the 20 million dollars claimed.
