Ricky Martin Hits With $3M Unpaid Commission Case; Former Manager Claims He Saved Himself From ‘Potentially Ending Career’

Ricky Martin’s former talent manager has issued a stern warning to the Grammy winner and Emmy nominee: Pay the storm or win. In her appeal to the Los Angeles Supreme Court on Wednesday, Rebecca Drucker specifically said, “More than $3,000,000 or as evidence and unpaid commissions are continually piling up.” The Assassination of Gianni Versace: An American Criminal History Star.

“Rebecca Drucker saved Ricky Martin’s career,” says Livin’ la Vida Loca, manager of the singer’s 2014-2018 and 2020-2022 seasons, often mocking her verbal breaches of the 15-page contract. “There’s just one problem: Martin completely and abusively refused to pay Rebecca the millions of dollars in commission due to him under the management contract.

The jury’s complaint (read here) adds that “Martin has now threatened Rebecca and is trying to compel her to sign a confidentiality agreement to silence Rebecca Martin about the appalling behavior she witnessed and endured.”

Unpaid commission dust between agents and their former clients is a virtual subspecies in the LASC connection. But in the case of Martin and Drucker, the latter bluntly and rudely wants the former to know that he will “not stay silent.” “For years she protected Martin from the consequences of her reckless folly. In the lawsuit filed by Rosenberg and Armound Gorchian at Venable LLP, attorney Joshua M. said, “Rebecca did this not only because she was her manager, but because she thought she was Martin’s dear friend.”

Now, “the toxic work environment,” a “particularly outrageous incident in Dubai involving Martin and his spokesman, Jose Vega,” in 2018, “personal life…” They did little to hide the fact that they believed.

Drucker and his team say they may not be the only ones in September 2020 to own Martin’s alleged assets with “potential end-of-career charges.” In the context of short-term reconciliation, 5% to 10% Commission promises and details, perceived legal threat:

Rebecca not only acted to advance Martin’s career, but also rendered services to protect him. In one instance, in September 2020, Martin received a letter from a respected court attorney in Los Angeles, California. Rebecca was with Martin when they first read the legal letter. In that letter, the lawyer threatened Martin with a public complaint if he did not pay the money his client was due against him. After reading the legal letter, Martin failed. He expressed to Rebecca his extreme fear that if this threat materialized, the consequences would be disastrous for Martin.

In response, Rebecca quickly brought in one of Los Angeles’ top lawyers, whom she had previously hired for her client. Based on Rebecca’s advice, Martin hired this elite law enforcement agency to protect him from this devastating allegation. Needless to say, the claim ultimately never came to light. Rebecca once again saved Martin’s career with her exceptional management and advisory services during this challenging time.

While the minor scandal awaiting CAA spokesman Martin remains confidential, lawyers like Rosenberg and Ghorchiani are less likely to make statements like “career-ending accusations” if they don’t have evidence to back them up. Together.

“This complaint is just scratching the surface,” Rosenberg said after Wednesday’s presentation. “Rebecca is looking forward to going to court and hearing her arguments before a jury.”

Martin’s representatives did not respond to the complaint or a request for comment on Drucker’s allegations. If they do, we will update this story. We do know that Martin is represented on this by Lavely & Singer led by Andrew Bretler.

He will soon release an EP to accompany his Latin Grammy Award-winning EP. Stop, Martin is also starring in the upcoming Apple TV+ series Miss American Pie. Written by Abe Sylvia and Tate Taylor Helmet, the comedy also stars Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig, Josh Lucas, Alison Jenny and Leslie Bibi.
