After Ricky Martin came out as gay at the end of March 2010, [6] Ruiz claimed in a TV interview with Viviana Canosa to have kissed Martin at a party in Mexico when he was 17 and Martin was around 22. Martin was working on the TV show Muñecos de Papel in Mexico at the time. [5] [7]

In 2014, Ruiz accused the Australian band Tame Impala of plagiarizing the song 'Océano' due to its similarities to Tame Impala's single 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'. [8] Ruiz responded by saying he would consult his lawyers about possible legal action, although the accusers later claimed it was a joke. [9]
