This beautiful model who starred in the music video for Ricky Martin’s smash hit ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ has shown severe back bruises in a social media snap and says her boyfriend beat her up.

Croatian stunner Nina Moric, 43, who now resides in Italy, has accused her then-boyfriend of domestic violence, according to local media.

On social media, Moric claimed that Luigi Mario Favoloso physically abused her and her 17-year-old son Carlos.

The model included a photo of her lower back that appears to be severely bruised.

She said on social media: “He not only hit me, but wanted to kill me as well.”

Moric added: “Luigi once hit my son Carlos and from that moment on he was out of my life. There are also hospital records which prove this. He beat me several times.”

She also claimed that he wanted to get back with her and once wrote: “I found a doctor who is helping me. I want you to know how I feel about you.”

Moric simply replied: “You are crazy!”

Since making the allegations, local media said the model has been unavailable for comment

However, Favoloso has appeared on TV to claim she sustained the juries when he tried to stop her self-harming: “I was only defending her from herself, I did not want her to get hurt.”

While working in Los Angeles in 1999, she was cast in Ricky Martin’s music video for ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’.

She was also selected by Jim Carrey as the female lead in a sequel for the 1994 film ‘The Mask’, but negotiations fell through and Carrey eventually left the project.

Between 2001 and 2007, Moric was married to Fabrizio Corona, an owner of a photography agency, and the couple had son Carlos in 2002.

She became an Italian citizen after two years of marriage with Corona.
