Unfortunately, Rebecca Drucker's lawsuit against Ricky Martin didn't sound quite as amicable. In her 15-page document, she made a series of allegations against Martin, one of which related to substance use issues, according to Deadline. Drucker's legal filing gave a stark warning to Martin, essentially notifying him that she planned to air some potentially explosive details about the star if he refused to comply with their financial agreement. "For years, she protected Martin from the consequences of his reckless indiscretions," stated the documents. Within them, Drucker also alleged she'd helped to support him through some potentially incriminating behavior, all the while dealing with a purported toxic work environment with Martin as her client. 

In the bombshell HBO documentary "Menudo: Forever Young" (via New York Post) many former members of the boy band alleged instances of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, as well as exposure to drugs. Martin was not part of the documentary and has not made his own statements to suggest he experienced similar. However, accusations from other former Menudo members suggest the young group may have been casually introduced to substance use. Sergio Blass, who was in the band between 1986 and 1991, described an occasion when a man entered his and Menudo member Rubén Gómez's hotel room. "He pulls out what must have been about a kilo of cocaine," he said. "... we freaked out ... the guy was actually one of the producers and promoters."
