The lawsuit, filed in Puerto Rico in July, accuses the legendary singer of adultery, which is considered a felony under Puerto Rican law. If convicted of this crime, he could face up to 50 years in prison.
Martin denied the allegations and the case was later dismissed. In her denial, the “She Bangs” singer claimed her niece was mentally ill. So, Martin filed a $20 million lawsuit against Dennis on Wednesday, September 7. He claims Dennis is trying to “kill” his character. The singer also claimed he was “persecuted, besieged, harassed, stalked and blackmailed by uncoordinated people,” aka his nephew.

In the lawsuit, Martin asked a Puerto Rican judge to order the nephew to refrain from all communication with him and his family.
Twitter will now defend Martin. Here are some examples:
“Good. False accusations are reprehensible and reduce the chance of real victims being heard.”
“I never believed it at first. Happy Ricky was going after a nephew.”
“He knew his nephew didn’t have that much money. Way to keep this story in the news, Ricky.”

In late July, Martin shared his truth about the highly publicized incident. He appeared on camera and said, “I’m on camera today because I really need to talk so I can start my healing process. For two weeks, I was not allowed to defend myself because I followed a procedure where the law required me not to speak until I was in front of the judge.”

The “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” star expressed gratitude to God that the accusations leveled against him were proven false. However, he wanted to tell the truth.
“It was very painful. It has destroyed me, for my family, for my friends. I don’t wish this on anyone,” Martin shared emotionally.
He then contacted his nephew directly, saying, “To the person who is claiming this nonsense, I wish him the best. And I hope he gets help so he can start a new life full of love and truth and joy and he doesn’t hurt other people.”
It’s unclear how the nephew will respond to the lawsuit. We have reached out to Ricky’s camp, so far no official comment.
