Luis D. Ortiz starred on Million Dollar Listing New York. Luis has denied accusations of domestic abuse made by his child's mother, Nikita Singh.
Luis D. Ortiz from Million Dollar Listing New York has found himself in hot water in light of abuse allegations, and we are about to explain all of the claims made against him. Luis is an accomplished real estate broker and reality television star, but his reputation is in jeopardy after accusations of domestic abuse. From the disturbing allegations made against him to Luis' statement pleading innocent, here's everything about the Million Dollar Listing star's abuse accusations.
Much like how fans do not trust Fredrik's husband, Derek, Luis has appeared to be a shady broker while on the Bravo real estate series. Luis starred on Million Dollar Listing New York on and off for several seasons from 2013 to 2019. While on the series, Luis spoke openly about his "bait and switch" strategy for selling homes. Luis was upfront about his need to survive by any means necessary. He was accused of presenting fraudulent pictures of homes to give buyers unrealistic expectations of what their listing actually looks like. Luis was even investigated by the New York Department of State for sending photoshopped pictures of an apartment he listed to other brokers. Unfortunately, doctoring photos is not the worst crime he has been accused of.
Luis' ex-girlfriend Nikita Singh recently accused the Million Dollar Listing star of domestic abuse. This accusation is one of the most explosive hidden secrets about a Million Dollar Listing cast member. On June 18, Nikita started a GoFundMe for her and the two-year-old daughter she has with Luis, Leela Daniel. Nikita is hoping to raise over $135,000 to pay legal fees for Leela. Nikita's goal is to keep Leela in the UK and away from Luis. In the description of her GoFundMe, Nikita explained that she had endured abuse from Luis and "other members of his family." Nikita did not detail exactly what she and her daughter survived while living with Luis, but she stated she moved across the Atlantic to get away from the broker. Nikita shared that she fears she is not safe from Luis in the UK due to the influential real estate agent's powerful allies.
Nikita's revelation has exposed the Million Dollar Listing star's apparent American dream journey from rags to riches to be a story of abuse behind the scenes. Luis has not let Nikita have the last word on the scandal, however. Luis made an appearance on Good Day New York to clear his name. During the interview, Luis said that everyone that knows him knows he is "a saint." Luis did not want to get into too much detail on the morning show for the sake of his daughter's privacy, but he expressed that Nikita's accusations are "completely untrue." This interview has not convinced all of Nikita's supporters, however, as she has currently raised over $3,300 on her GoFundMe. Luis posts on his Instagram as if there were no accusations at all, as his posts only pertain to his new Netflix show, The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals.
Luis might have been replaced by new agent Kirsten Jordan on Million Dollar Listing, but the broker is still making headlines. While Luis has denied his ex's allegations, fans are supportive of Nikita's appeal for help as she escapes the reality star's reach. Luis might have fooled clients on Million Dollar Listing New York, but he is unlikely to get off of the hook for Nikita's domestic abuse allegations as easily.
