Ricky Martin addresses nephew’s accusations in new video: ‘So painful and devastating’

Ricky Martin said that he’s ready to move on from the “devastating” experience he’s had to endure over the past two weeks after he was accused by his nephew of incest and domestic violence.

In a video obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the 50-year-old Latin music superstar opened up about his recent ordeal, thanked his friends and “all the fans who always believed in me,” and said that his priority is now “to heal.”
