Hey everyone! Hope you all enjoy this analysis of Ricky Martin. Here are a few additional thoughts to address some great comments and questions 1) it is entirely possible that he had some Botox injections before going on Ellen and the lack of movement is due to that. Botox usually causes even more stiffness than that, there is SOME movement there but it’s possible that Botox has a role to play. I still think his eyebrows do the Atari gesture when he’s emotionally invested though. Because Ellen isn’t the only time they didn’t do it much. 2) some of you brought up a language barrier. It’s a great point. Sometimes when someone is speaking in a language other than their first language we see no gestures as they struggle to find the right words. Pauses are also common in a scenario like this. Now Ricky Martin is certainly fluent enough in English for absolute comfort and ease when he speaks but there may be certain things he says better in Spanish so some of these behaviors can 100% be caused by that 3) the reason it’s hard to figure out if he did what he was accused of or not is because he never directly accused the claims except when he called them “nonesense.” This avoidance is not in and of itself incriminating. This video isn’t about the claims it’s about the lawsuit being dropped. Nobody is asking him a question. I would love for someone to ask him “is there any truth to your nephews claims” and see how he reacts to that. But without an interrogation or interview. On a planned statement we can’t get much about the validity of the accusations. Just the emotions around the subject

I want to add a tiny something. English is my second language and while I no longer need to translate in my head, it to me looks like he translates in his head still when speaking English especially with the bigger words or less common words. Several times it was like I could see him speak to himself in Spanish and quick search for the translation word he wants to say and I think that adds to how animated he looks or the pauses he takes because the brain is working so hard at juggling languages that conveying emotion can fall behind.

When he says "I wish him the best", I think he wants to wish for that, rationally, but emotionally, he's not there yet, as his cousin really hurt him with this. It takes time to get over something like that and come to the point so you can honestly wish someone who wronged you the best .

The allegations were dropped. This man has maintained a solid reputation of his character for over 50 years, why do people keep giving energy to the claims? He deserves to be presumed innocent unless any evidence of the allegations are presented.

Welcome home Spidey. Really enjoyed your breakdown of RM clip. Whilst noone outside of the situation can ever know the truth. The fact that you use not only your knowledge, but that of those highly esteemed in this area is a credit to why you're so successful. Also opening up a dialogue with your audience shows your humility and openness to learn or be corrected. Not something often seen or welcomed on YT or the media in general. So if you didn't know, I believe that's your general appeal. Congrats and continued happiness and success.🙏🌏💙

As someone who has had family members spread some vicious and hurtful lies about me, I can say with confidence that it is absolutely possible to wish someone well and, at the same time, to be very angry at them and the things they've put you through. Also, the pain of betrayal from family can bring up feelings of shame that were instilled in you from being raised in a toxic or dysfunctional family system, even if you haven't actually done anything to be ashamed of.

I admire your integrity and how respectful you are when analyzing things like this.

The no-gesture after „this nonsense“ to me seems like a lingering gesture. The disbelieve & disappointment about the situation & that it was from someone in his family hitting after putting it in words. That’s what it feels like to me. Super intersting deep dive into baseline here Spidey! I appreciate what you do 🙌🏼

First thoughts - part 1 he seemed guarded to me. he honestly looked so sad during part 2, and most of part 3. At the very end of the video when he says “I hope he doesn’t hurt anybody else”, I noticed a facial expression that to me, showed a general “what the ever living fuck,” which gives me the vibe he’s still so confused/bewildered by the situation.

I also wanted to comment on psychological distancing. Many years ago, I worked as a corrections officer in a maximum security prison. I noticed, even back then, that when an inmate spoke about their crimes, they never, EVER said, "...and then I killed him/her/them." It was always, "...and then, they died." I found this incredibly interesting and it wasn't until I started my graduate degree in psychology that I realized what this was. Super interesting behavior. Thanks Spidey!

My inclination is that he and his family have been hurt by the allegations, there is still some anger for what he and his family have been put through, and he just wants to move on with his life. I think he's telling the truth.

What a joy to see you again and with such a complete and profound analysis. 👏👏👏 I like a lot David's 3rd theory "lingering or leading gesture", because it happens to me sometimes, when I notice I'm doing a leading gesture 😂. Then I realize the result is weird, the gesture matched the next sentence, nor the actual one, so, sometimes I explain "my gesture is because I'm thinking this and this". And I explain it because I am very aware of the contradictory message that my gestures and words can send. Also I noticed, just at the beginning of the video, with the left thumb he is massaging his right one, in a comforting gesture, just like telling himself "it's ok, it's fine, you can do this" or "it's ok if you feel what you are feeling". Thanks a lot, as always, Spidey.

I believe Ricky. What a nightmare he's gone through, but is handling it with grace and compassion. I'm not sure I'd be able to forgive someone for telling such heinous lies about me. Thank you Spidey 💜

I think he was holding back most of his emotions and reading a script. His hands kinda showed him trying to cage those emotions in a way. He was being reserved for himself. I think I believe he didn't do those awful things but he definitely did not wish his accuser the best. Disgust was definitely how I describe the way he reacted to the LAW and BEST comments he was supposed to say. I don't think those two will be speaking to each other again. That distancing from his nephew may be in every sense of the word. I don't know if the nephew did it for money or attention or even anger towards his uncle but he destroyed family relations after that.

You are my favourite analyst on the platform. Thorough, engaging, accurate. I also can’t believe we used to allow interviewers to confront ppl on rumours so sensitive in nature! So dangerous- it’s called a closet for a reason: it’s safe

Just getting round to watching this a couple of weeks after you posted. What I love, love, love about your videos, Spidey, is that you manage to replicate the expressions whilst giving several examples of how they are used. And I also love how you take on additional ideas from the feedback you receive or the thoughts you have, and add them to the post. Great video - thanks x

YESSSSSSS WE’VE MISSED YOU!!!! You look amazing! Hope you’re well! Great vid as usual 😁

First impression: I think he more so wants the person who alleged abuse to never do something like that again vs. he wants them to have a fulfilled life. His eyes opened up a little bit wider when he said "and he doesn't hurt anybody else". I think he was hurt by the allegations.

Hi Spidey! This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done yet!! I loved you stepping us through the baseline background research. It really showed how intricate body analysis really is.

Welcome back, spidey! You were very missed!! ❤️ Loved this video! So truthful, so unbiased, and so coherent. That's why I follow you and trust you. You're a very honest person and I learn a lot from you! I started following you with the JD-AH law suit, and I have been watching your videos ever since.. That's the only good thing that came from that horrendous trial! Thank you! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Keep the good work!! ❤️

The "no" head gesture and the affirmation "I wish him the best" feels natural to me. What he thinks and feels could be more along the lines of "I don't wish him harm" which is consistent with the head gesture. However when scripting something to gain sympathy, it is better to use affirmations since it gives an overall more positive image of the person speaking.

With the head shake 'no' when he says "I'm going to tell you the truth" could it be that he's not allowed for legal reasons to tell us the whole truth as he would like to say and instead has to stick to what his lawyers have told him he can legally say? So, technically the truth but not what he really wanted to say. Unintended physical reaction to not being able to tell his whole truth?

When you mentioned illustrators, I thought about how I gesticulate a lot when speaking because British Sign Language is my second language. It would be fascinating to see you do an analysis of someone signing and to know your reflections on how the use of sign language impacts body language and language analysis! Also - your integrity in every one of your videos is a rare and treasured gift to KZfaq. Thank you.

Great video again Spidey! I always enjoy your videos and I have learned so, so much. That feeling when you've learned something and you can spot these things on your own and then Spidey brings them up as well, it's just amazing! When you talked about the no gesture and dishonesty, I loved it how you said "is that what's happening there?" and gestured no with your head 😄 When you talk about disbelief you gestured yes with your head when you said "i do like that". I really like that you are quite animated so the viewers can spot these things on you as well 👍🏼

He doesn't want to be doing this at all! It reminds me of the "hostage" video that Amber and Johnny had to do in Australia. This is not his idea, and he clearly doesn't wish his accuser peace, love and wellness. I don't think he's anywhere near ready to make nice, but somebody advised him it would be a good idea, either a publicist, or possibly even a family member, since his accuser was also a family member. But, yeah, this is NOT his true feeling on the matter, not by a long shot.

Why don't you analyze the spanish version which is a longer video and in his native language and do a comparison between the two.

The overall feeling I get was that he was extremely uncomfortable, biting his tongue, and being very careful about the words he is choosing. I read devastation on his face... and I noticed he distanced himself when talking about his family member - "THIS PERSON". I do not know if he did these awful things or not... but I can tell he is using a lot of will to confine his emotions and is uncomfortable.

When the video started, I thought the final conclusion was going to be a lot different. I recognized the side-side (no) physical response that didn't seem to match the verbal output and I was ready to write the ending right there. Then I thought, "I can't believe he's reviewing this without a baseline." Silly me!! This video had some of the most thorough baseline review I think we've ever seen in your videos! Another excellent video full of detailed, well presented analysis. It's great to see you back on YT. Thanks for high quality content!

Good to have you back, Spidey. I’ve been a Ricky fan my entire life and when I saw those allegations, I was stunned. When I saw the video he posted, I felt so bad for him (and I was also like OOF, he is not himself). I think he’s incredibly hurt by what’s happened. On top of that I think, given the way he kept visibly restraining himself, that more than anything, he is absolutely furious but is trying his hardest not to show his anger. When he said “I wish him the best”, I saw his mouth pull back into a snarl. It’s sad to see him that way. Ricky is a kind person and this is a crappy position to be in.

I feel like he in being careful in choosing his words. He also had a look of actual emotions through his eyes and eyebrows

Hey everyone! I was reading on the language issue and I had to find the video in Spanish. In that clip I can see how he is really hurt and he is definitely expressing his emotions in a very different level. I think the English video he is not as expressive, and as Spidey said, it may be, somewhat, rehearsed. Not because he cannot speak English well, which he does. It is just because your feelings are better expressed in your own language. My primary language is Spanish, I have been here for a while now, and I don’t really need to go in my head to translate a word or what I want to say any more. In fact, I can think in English as easily as in Spanish. However, when I’m very emotional I can show , or rather, my feelings are shown much clearly when I communicate them in Spanish. Something else that is not said in the English clip is that this person is suffering from mental issues. Which may me think of the way he said that he which him the best. I feel that his “no, head movement” is like he thinking “ I can’t believe it, or I’m not sure if he will be well some day”, something like that. In the Spanish version of this clip it’s very clear that he is really devastated and hurt by this situation.

He definitely seems genuine. You can tell his mind is juggling languages. He seems like he is still in shock by these allegations so his hand gestures are off from his words. You can tell he is in pain from his family member needing to seek help. He is generally a caring person and you can tell he is emotional.

I’m so glad you’re back! I hope you’re well 😊 I’ve been looking forward to another video from you.

Take into account that he is Puerto Rican (aka Boricua) thus more likely to be VERY physically expressive. Additionally, I think he still practices Buddhism and the tendency would be to extend wishes of “loving kindness” even to those that have caused damage. So, if still angry, verbalizing good wishes would be something to do to help yourself out of angst.

Welcome back Spidey! 🤗 We missed you! And thanks for the way you let us analyse the original video first before breaking it down. It was really helpful and cool to see how first impressions may not necessarily be accurate especially without a baseline! And thanks for the reminder too about clusters of deception and just not using one factor to come to a conclusion. 🙏🏽

I have a question I think is potentially interesting. I grew up in an abusive household, where it is essentially, lie to survive, otherwise you'd be beaten for the most miniscule thing(your bed not being perfectly made). So I tried the negative head shaking, whilst saying something that is true, and vica versa, and it was honestly simple to do it. So I'm curious, is it harder to read people, who have a background that encourages them to lie, or is it that you just have to read a different baseline?

The law… Law 54 on the island is punitive and does not require police report or investigation. Because of the many cases of incest and rape on the island, the law was put in effect a few years ago allowing the victim to have a hearing with a judge to file the restraining order. The media immediately speculated that Ricky was guilty and the homophobia coming from journalists was vicious. Ricky knows his audience. He was wooden and factual in the video. He knew that even a tiny statement would be ripped apart. I appreciate your analysis. Glad to see you’re back! Yes. There is much to learn about these microscopic gestures and what they mean.

He emphasized the word “claim” both times he said it. Like he was making a point of really driving home the falsehood with that one word. He also sounded really disgusted when he said it.

I'm so so happy you're back!! Your channel is so interesting and amazing. I would LOVE to add Spanish subtitles to your videos, so more people can learn from you 🥰

Soooo happpyyy to see you after so long Spidey! Really missed your videos. This one is very invasive and satisfying to watch (and learn)! Thank you for imparting this behavioural arts' knowledge 😊😇👍💙🙏

Spidey, I am so flipping happy you’re back! You were missed. Can’t wait to learn more from you

Great to have you back! Hope all is going well. Yep, he's hurt, he resents him, he wants to be better and more "enlightened" and not dwell in the negativity, to be a good example of how you should move on, but he resents him. And that is his deception. Even if he does wish him well, in the sense that he changes his ways.

It's great to see you back! I missed you! I hope you're feeling good and everything is going well for you. I grew up in a home being sexually abused for years by my step-Dad. I tend to believe Ricky didn't do it but that's based on my intuition, not training like you have. Of course nobody knows for sure what happened except Ricky and his nephew. This is a great video! The extensive look at establishing a baseline is incredibly informative! Thank you! 💕

I love your way of approaching cases and analysing them. I‘m following you since the Depp/Heard trial. And even living in germany and not being a native speaker I‘m able to follow your analysises. It‘s always worth watching! Great work Spidey! 💙

Using a script is essentially REQUIRED of celebrities when making a public statement on a very serious topic. He isn't going to just "wing" ANY part of his public statement. Being scripted IS to be expected. Don't hold that against him. Do not forget, Ricky Martin has a large extended family in Puerto Rico. THIS FACT impacts how he chooses to handle what is essentially a horrible "family" situation that has legal implications - and that went public. He has no desire to bash a younger family member (that reportedly has mental health challenges). Ricky Martin is being especially gentle in his words because this kid is part of his FAMILY. Don't forget the cultural differences when it comes to family. Ricky has many other family members.

I feel like this was a forced statement and I feel the "I can't believe I have to even make this." I think that may be part of why we're seeing head shake where it contradicts what he's saying.

Hello just have to say I love your channel and really enjoy seeing your Analysis on these videos. I feel I’m learning quite a bit watching these. Look forward to seeing much more. Thanks.

Hi Spidey, I just found your channel and enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for being clear about the science behind body language and all. Very well explained too. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Much love ❤️

I took it as a disbelief head shake, that this has happened and the negative effect it has had on his family and himself.

Thanks so much for these videos, your editing style makes it much easier for a beginner to understand what you're referring to

Thank you, Spidey, for such an amazing video! I started to follow you just recently and absolutely fell in love with your content. I also noted when Ricky talked about family and said "Wishes" in 2:50 I see more sadness with his eyes. And when he uses the same word "Wish" in 3:19 it seems as anger for me: wide nostrils, eyes open widely as well + raised up eyebrows. Don't know if I get it right, but really glad that some details catch my attention. Thank you a lot! 🤗

Great comeback video Spidey! My only input is that strange head shake to me reminds me of when I'm talking about something painful, so yes he's being truthful, but either the truth is painful to relate, or the fact that he feels the need to even go down that route is painful. I've actually paused to type this, so may have to jump back in and edit at the end, but wanted to type my thoughts on it while still fresh in my mind 🦄

Hey Spidey, this was incredibly useful! Thank you so much. It really allowed me to see in depth exactly what you were describing. You are a great teacher, and this was a great teaching moment. Thank you again.

About the "I wish him the best" part. I think it's an inner conflict because this was a person who he actually loved and never expected something like this from and when he's saying "I wish him the best", those memories or emotions are coming up and it's an inner conflict because at some point, he did love that person as a part of his family but now that they've accused him of something horrible, he's still having a hard time coming to terms with such conflicting emotions of there once being love and now just pain and betrayal. Once again, I'm trying to put myself in a similar spot and if someone I truly cared for hurt me like that, I would just retreat and I'd be dejected, hence the sideways head shake, and won't wish the same kind of pain on them because despite being hurt by them, they were still a loved one and I wouldn't want people I loved to go through such immense pain. Especially when the pain and hurt is fresh. A few years down the road changes things.

I'm super glad you're back! I was able to catch several things you saw too, so I'm definitely learning so much from you and my other fav behavior panel guys!

So glad to see you back. Glad you’re filming again and the cap 🧢 looks good on you. I hope you’re happy with the long term results. Great information as always Spidey 👍🏼

Not only analyzing behaviors , also very educational! Thank you for putting a lot of thoughts & efforts in the video as always. Welcome back!

I give a greater allowance for speech when someone is not speaking in their native language. Even when someone is fluent in a language, and it’s even more true in stressful situations, and even more so when you’re over 50, sometimes we have to search for words. It just happens. His cadence and word searching are quite reasonable in this situation. I can see how others might misconstrue it as deceptive, but it simply does not read that way to me. I think he left his nephew’s name out for 2 reasons. First, you do what you can to protect anonymity whenever possible. While we all know the accusation came from a nephew, I don’t know his name or his parents name. I’ve only heard him referred to as nephew. That’s as it should be for victims. Second, there remains a likelihood he was abused by someone and he’s named the wrong person because it has fewer repercussions than the actual perpetrator. This is very common in childhood SA victims. They continue finding themselves in abusive relationships until they face the truth and process their history with a trained professional who specializes in this kind of abuse. It’s so much more complicated than any non victim could imagine. This is another reason I understand how people could choose not to believe Ricky Martin. Those who have been victims will understand how child has to process something so vile and personal that it’s easier for their own survival to lay the blame on someone no longer in their day to day life. It happens. I found him believable, but we have a limited context here. It’s not a full legal interview. There’s no longer an investigation. I do believe the police wouldn’t just walk away if they had any evidence to further an investigation without the nephew’s statement. Regarding the interview with Barbara Walters, at the time, he was touring with an up and coming Jessica Simpson. When you sit the two of them together, you have a perfect Barbie and Ken picture. I believe HE was ready to come out, but the record company and your promoters would not allow it. That’s why you see him really fighting to keep his truth to himself. When he refuses to define his sexuality, I believe the statement had words to the effect, “I’m not ready at this time to disclose or discuss it.” If HE was the one trying to hide it, I think we would have gotten a very strong, possibly angry denial. That’s not what happened.

In situations where you know the person very well, as in a nephew who he may have watched grow up, and is also aware of the sadness that this has caused within the family, can cause an emotional conflict. This is especially hard when you may know the difficulties a person has, so you feel sorry, but you can't get past your rage over what he's done to you. Its like this may be a person he's helped out over time and then to have this person come and stab him in the back, its mind boggling. He can't figure it out. So he goes back and forth, feeling sorry for his nephew and at the same time feeling outraged.

I love watching other videos of interviews and im analyzing and learning about other ppls motions and movements and Tells and I gotta say your videos are great and I've learned a ton whenever I see something that stands out me and my brother point to something that happened in one of your videos and can tell the person is Lying or not telling the truth or their body Language is all over the place and we can point to some of your videos and say wow the same thing happened their thats happening here I love it and I love learning this stuff thank You.

to me he feels like he is containing rage. and the part where he says he wishes the other person the best the head is actually moving in a no gesture, instead of yes/affirmative.

He’s angry. He does not wish his accuser well. He’s trying to be intellectual about it. He’s feeling more than he’s letting on.

Watched your analysis just now. I believe that was a masterclass in indepth behaviour analysis. Your thorough attention to detail is exceptional. What I gleaned from the video was a real attempt at masking anger. Especially towards the end of the video. Like you, I cannot tell innocence nor guilt. The feeling I get is that he is hurt and very angry and I didn't believe his best wishes for "this person". Looking forward to your next video. Thank you, from Ireland.

Great job Spidey, and welcome back brother. This one was really well put together, loved how you set this one up and thoroughly delivered. Cheers from Toronto. ✌️ Ps, can't wait to see the new quaff!

My first impression of this part before we even made a base line was that he is really trying not to cry just after the word Truth.. he has a broken indrawn breath and my feeling was I'm not going to cry.. He nods his head (yes) when saying clames and proven... and then he says BUT and starts making a NO gesture like "I can't believe this happen and how painful it was" he even has a hitch in his breath like " no I'm not going to cry".. and talks about pain.. But that is just the feeling I got first time seeing this part..

Glad to see you again, Spidey! So, in the first part, it seems like he smirks when he pauses after saying "the law" like maybe there was something else that stopped him or her was feeling very wronged by that. In part 3, it definitely seems like he is trying to insinuate that his accuser is crazy and pitiful. And it seems like he is trying to play up the victim role with the line about "without hurting anyone else."

This is an excellent vid, in fact it's one of the most helpful body language instruction lessons I've seen, you have such an easy way of bringing about a methodical way of seeing body language and then interpreting body language in us, Bravo! Spidey.

Insightful, your videos are awesome. This is a difficult one to judge..... I am usually, lol, spot on with deception and reading people, but this one if also leaving me thinking..... Yes and No .... So I don't know. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. Thank you. If i just follow my "gut" on this one, i feel there is some truth to it..... but not sure.

Thanks for this opportunity, Spidey! It’s helpful to have such a short clip, especially since you’ve broken it down into themed segments for us. This is my first attempt at body language/behavior analysis, after watching The Behavior Panel for about a year, and you starting with Depp/Heard. Here goes! PART ONE 1. His eyebrows are incredibly active! Lots of “requests for approval”; I feel like he wants to connect with the viewer. 2. His voice and cadence are steady, with corresponding hand/arm punctuating gestures. 3. I was intrigued by his pause and repetition of “the law.” I have no idea what he was thinking then. Maybe he wanted to say something else? Very interesting. PART TWO 1. His tone shifts markedly here: his pitch is deeper. 2. His eyebrows are very different here. His words are about injury; his eyebrows seem to be trying to communicate concern; but somehow he seems angry to me, as the fundamental emotion. PART THREE 1. His expressive eyebrows are back, though not the same as in Part One, somehow. 2. His tone is also more like in Part One. 3. His cadence is more halting, like he’s choosing his words carefully. 4. I think he sincerely hopes his accuser gets help and goes off to his own life where RM won’t have to deal with him ever again. However, I don’t think RM actually wishes the accuser love and happiness. Again, he seems angry, fundamentally. This was fun! Thanks again! 💐

I felt he was pretty on guard about what he was going to say. Part 1 was just a plain statement about the law, and he seemed calmer. He seemed like he wanted to say much more but held back in p2, he seemed like he was pretty upset about the situation but tried to remain positive and neutral. In p3 I saw that even more, as if he doesn't really "wish the best" but he says it to just maintain a public image. Overall, this felt very scripted, and I can't fault him for that. I'd do the same if I was a celeb.

I love your videos! So insightful. I also appreciate that you don’t present your interpretations in a scandalous / salacious manner. Those videos can become rather annoying and tedious. You’ve taught me a lot.

Spidey! This is my first comment on your channel and I have to first say thank you!!!! Another AMAZING breakdown! All of the knowledge you've gifted has helped me to created some interesting discussions around delicate conversations and also guide people back to your channel because their interest is piqued at well 🙏 If you happen to cover the Will Smith apology... The slow blinks/eye closes are fascinating. Especially considering his up bringing and life experience... Would love to hear your take on it! Thanks for being you!!! 😊 Your content is always 💯. You do you and go at your speed (cuz there's life to life too, hehe). Just appreciative of the quality 🙏

Everyone talks about baseline, baseline, baseline. I really appreciate that in this video, you actually went out and got some baseline and analyzed it and gave us a much better idea of how baseline works in an analysis. Very valuable, thank you!

“I wish him the best” with the head shake looks to me like he’s thinking about him and is disappointed in him. Like, “I can’t believe you did this.”

You have done so much work here, excellent editing to reinforce the point you are trying to make. How do you find all that amazing old footage of these people? Wow! 👏🏻

So happy to see you, Spidey❣️ Worth the wait. This was great. Just a little atta boy. I noticed your enunciation is so nice to hear. So often I can't watch videos because the speaker swallows syllables, mumbles, or flattens Ts. I'm not talking about accents or dialects. Obviously everyone sounds like the community they grew up in but if you're going to speak a language, I think you should speak that language clearly and thoughtfully. I appreciate you so much 🤗

So happy to have you back Spidey!!! Hope you are doing well ❤️

In regards to the Walter's questioning, I think he eye blocks to hold back from telling her how rude she was being by continuing to talk. I think Walter's felt she could bully him passive/aggressively into him coming out. I would recoil against someone like that too. I disagree that it was a "I don't want you face this." He was trying yo answer, she was continuing, so he stopped looking at her as a way of being respectfully rude, if that makes any sense.

Thanks for all of your work for this analysis, Spidey. It's great to have you with us again. Glad you're doing well.

I'm glad your back! I've missed you and have been watching all your videos on repeat like a sad puppy

I think Ricky wants to wish him the best, but it's still very emotional, so he may be having conflicting feelings. There may be a very human part of him that wants this young man to hurt in the same way. He's not there yet to fully forgive him for what he did.

I believe his no gesture expresses disagreement with the entire situation. The inconsistency comes with his mind running faster than speech. It just goes much more inside of him emotionally than comes out through words. Sure the speech was prepared cause nobody wants to say stupid things in such circumstances. One more thing to that, from psychological point of view, he is definately person who has a tendency to see bigger picture rather than focus on particular detail, therefore I went with my first statement that he reacts more to the entire situation with his head nodding. And he still didn't digest the act of nephew. I believe he means it really he wishes him the best but he still cannot believe that he did it and why and how he could. So it is undigested experience for him yet.

My first impression was that he is managing his anger. He is distancing himself from his nephew and he's angry. He wants him to get help and move on, but he won't be able to forgive and forget for a long time. I believe that first part too, that he wanted to speak about the allegations earlier but had to stay quiet against his will. Is Ricky Martin guilty? I don't know, but at the moment I'm finding myself being more on his side. Maybe one day the nephew will give an interview, and then we'll be able to check his body language and determine better what really happened in this case. Spidy, it's great to see you again and this video was very educational, I really appreciate your hard work!! Thank you ❤️

Really glad you’re back! I love your content and the way you interact with your audience. I believe you are a good person.

Welcome back! I feel like his statement sounds like what people say on Facebook after they block someone that has put them in their place, after the individual is no longer able to respond. It's condescending in a self-righteous way. Perhaps slightly passive aggressive?

I wanted to note one exception in regards to asymmetrical facial expressions which reinforces the importance of baseline. Spidey mentioned "you'll never see someone smiling like this..." while demonstrating a lopsided smile, and for some people that can be normal if they have previously suffered a stroke or something like Bell's palsy which can cause weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. I just wanted to point that out in case anyone feels like someone they know is *always* talking to them with a look of contempt, to consider that there might be something else going on. But then again, maybe that person just really doesn't like you!

Great analysis (as always) and great to have you back! ❤️

Yay you’re back! I legit missed your wonderful energy & outstanding perspective. I have been checking all sorts of behavior peeps & I have to say I think you’re the best. I adore the Behavior Panel gents, they are obviously the kings of reading people & literally wrote the books; but Spidey you consistently catch significant bits. Chase should be so proud. You should be so proud🙏📿

First impressions: hes reading a script, look at his eyes, he keeps glancing at something then quickly looking away

Can't hit that like button enough! So glad to see you back and appreciate your precision and objective reactions. Obviously, I would be horrible at this because my first response was belief. Then I started noticing the eyes and this seemed unusual for him.

First, I can't believe I missed you coming back! so glad to catch you! Also, thank you so much for helping us how to baseline, I needed this! So great to have you back, welcome and thank you!

This was so helpful in terms of baselining and you explained it so well. A big thank you! My feeling for the tilted head in the third clip is that Ricky Martin was lingering in the emotion that this person he is taking about needs help because there is something wrong with him. I think he wants to stress with that gesture that this person really is in need of an intervention.

I think I speak for most of your fans when I say, WE MISSED YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS! ❤️❤️

Oh dear lord, having this man explaining what Atari was has never made me feel older. Fun aside, wearing a shirt with that exact logo on it. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

Welcome back Spidey, missed seeing you pop up! Fantastic video as always!

You are amazing. I just watched a45 minute video on KZfaq and was interested the entire time!

Welcome back, what a great video! When he says nonsense, his eyebrows are asymmetric (or maybe it's just the angle?) and it definitely adds to the contempt. Also, the use of the word "nonesense" to describe such a devastating accusation. I believe it's used for distancing himself from this terrible thing that he was accused of. Last thing, I really hated the choice of the soft, pastel hue, lighting and filtering, because it made the whole thing look dreamy and fake, almost like in a Hallmark Christmas movie (or is it just my screen? Did you see it, as well, and had a hard time to relate, like I did?)

In regards to shaking your head when you should be nodding, I know I do it all the time. It took me forever to figure it out, but I think I finally have. In this situation, I could be thinking something like "that isn't the truth" causing me to shake my head, while I am saying it out loud in a different way, which should cause nodding. Like if someone asks me if it's ok they do something, I often shake my head thinking "that's no problem" while I state out loud "yeah, that's fine" which of course just makes me look like a liar, lol.

Thanks for the great video Spidey. The shaking of the head was something that confused me, but it makes sense to look at the statements before and after the action to make sense of it. Well, looking forward to the next video. Cheers

First time I’ve watched any of your videos … really interesting. Thank you. I’ve liked and subscribed too 😆
