Ricky Martin Faces Domestic Violence Allegations + Served With Restraining Order

According to local media reports in Puerto Rico, a judge has issued a restraining order against pop singer Ricky Martin.

An individual who previously dated Martin issued the restraining order after he was found loitering outside of their home on three different occasions after he refused to accept their break up. The order was granted based on evidence presented by the anonymous ex. The gender of the person has not been disclosed. 

TMZ have reported that local police have lodged the complaint within their Law 54 statute which deals with issues surrounding Domestic Violence.

A representative for Martin released a statement today which stated, "The allegations against Ricky Martin that led to a protection order are completely false and fabricated. We are very confident that when the true facts come out in this matter our client Ricky Martin will be fully vindicated.”

Local press outlet El Vocero who have claimed to have access to the press documents stated that, “The parties were related for 7 months. They separated 2 months ago, but the petitioner does not accept the separation. He calls him frequently. In addition, the petitioner has seen him hanging around his residence on at least 3 occasions. The petitioner fears for his safety.”

They also report that the order states, "the petitioning party demonstrated that there is a substantial possibility of immediate risk of abuse."

It continues to read that it, "orders the petitioned party to refrain from approaching, harassing, intimidating, threatening or in any other way interfering with the petitioning party."

Martin is also not allowed to make phone calls, send text or voice messages to the person, work, family or friends of the petitioner. 

It's not the first time that Martin is in the news this week, being sued by his ex-manager, Rebecca Drucker for $3 million for breach of a contract.
