Ricky Martin has been sued by whoever was his manager for several years; specifically between 2014 and 2018 and again since May 2020 until April 2022.
The woman, who goes by the name of Rebecca Drucker, maintains that she has not been paid the money that was owed to her according to the representation agreement reached at the time, and in the documents Legal proceedings filed this Wednesday, 29 in June, before the Los Angeles Superior Court add that the famous artist “maliciously refused to pay him millions of dollars” in concept of commissions.
Drucker affirms that he “saved the career” of the interpreter of ‘Livin’ la Vida Loca’ and that he also protected him from “the consequences of his reckless indiscretions”. According to her version of events, to which the Entertainment tonight portal has had access, she did it because she considered him a good friend and not because it was part of her responsibilities as an employee.
The hiatus that occurred in her employment relationship with Ricky Martin was supposedly due to “a particularly ugly incident” that she had place in 2018 while they were in Dubai, and that involved the artist and his representative José Vega. Rebecca affirms that at that time she decided to resign from her position, but months later the singer himself would have asked her to return and she decided to give him another chance. When he returned to the position, he found that his client’s personal life was “a disaster” and he does not hesitate to list all the fronts that he found open.
“Although Martin’s career blossomed since he rehired Rebecca as his manager in May of 2020, she has been forced to deal with a litany of Martin’s personal issues, including issues with the nanny he hired to take care of their children, Martin’s non-payment of taxes and his substance abuse, among other issues”, his lawyers point out in the lawsuit.
In July 2021 tried to quit the job again, but changed his mind in exchange for a raise. She alleges that she was promised a 10 percent commission on gross receipts under the agency agreement, instead of the 5 percent that they had agreed to in May of 2020. Now Rebecca says that Rick Martin’s team has refused to pay her and probably won’t in the future either, despite the fact that she would be entitled to an amount that she has estimated at three million dollars, although she remembers that “unpaid commissions they accumulate continuously”.
Rebecca has also mysteriously added through her legal representatives that “she has only scratched ” the surface and that you are looking forward to going to trial.
