  • Rebecca Drucker was Ricky Martin's talent manager.

  • According to Drucker, Martin owes her millions of dollars.

  • According to the lawsuit, she once saved Martin from a career ending scandal.

Rebecca Drucker, Ricky Martin's former talent manager, is accusing the singer of failing to pay her millions of dollars in commission.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Martin's career was saved from a devastating scandal because of the way he was treated.

She protected Martin from the consequences of his bad decisions. According to the lawsuit, Rebecca did so because she believed that Martin was her dearest friend.

Insider reached out to Martin's attorney for more information, but did not get a reply on Thursday. An attorney for Martin didn't reply to Insider's request for comment.

In the lawsuit, she said she befriended Martin in the early 2000s. According to the lawsuit, they parted ways in February of last year after a particularly ugly incident in the Persian Gulf.

He begged her to come back and work for him after she stopped working for him. According to the lawsuit, she initially agreed to get a 5% commission.

According to the lawsuit, Martin's career was "resurrected" thanks to her help.

Business dealings were just one of the things that Drucker aided Martin with. Martin's personal issues included problems with the nanny he hired to take care of his children, Martin's nonpayment of taxes, and his substance abuse.

When Martin's career was in danger, he stepped up.

Martin received a letter from a highly respected litigation attorney in Los Angeles, California in September 2020. They read the legal letter for the first time. The lawsuit states that the attorney wrote a letter threatening to file a legal complaint against Martin if he didn't pay money to resolve the claim against him.

Martin collapsed after he read the letter. The consequences to Martin would be catastrophic if this threat were carried out.

The claim never saw the light of day after Drucker brought in one of the top defense attorneys in Los Angeles to work for Martin.

"Martin went back to work and did well." Rebecca gave exceptional managerial and advisory services to Martin during this time, which saved his career.

According to the lawsuit, Martin wasn't grateful for the work done by Drucker. Martinfostered a toxic work environment where he mistreated, manipulated, and lied to Rebecca.

After a "communication breakdown" in July 2021, Drucker resigned, but once again Martin "begged" her to stay, increasing her commission to 10%, according to the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, she was forced to resign after agreeing to it.

The deals she brokered for Martin are at the center of the dispute.

According to the lawsuit, when Martin and his business entities realized they had millions of dollars in debt, they refused to pay her anything.
