Restraining order against Ricky Martin dismissed during Puerto Rico hearing

The Livin' la Vida Loca singer was hit by a restraining order earlier this month following claims of domestic violence from an unnamed petitioner and it was revealed last week that the petitioner was his 21-year-old nephew, Dennis Yadiel Sanchez. Martin appeared virtually in court in Puerto Rico on Thursday, and a judge dismissed the temporary restraining order and declined to extend it, with the 50-year-old's lawyers claiming Sanchez requested to dismiss the case himself.
