Interestingly enough, the recent Menudo documentary did not paint Ricky in a good light. There were some members seething jealousy because he got perks and was to some a bit of a diva. While I don't know the whole story about Ricky's time at Menudo, he did have one friend and it was Robby Rosa who wrote most of his hits when he was solo in the 90s. I am not saying Ricky was perfect, but he was the one that was going to make it. Best bet is to blame Edgardo for creating that toxic atmosphere. Ricky was not at fault there. He was what....12-13? No fault of his own. Again, my honest opinion.
