Anonymous Accusers Speak Out
Accusations Leveled against Music Icon Smokey Robinson and His Spouse
In a shocking development, four unnamed former household staff members have come forward with allegations of repeated sexual harassment, assault, and rape against music legend Smokey Robinson and his wife, Frances. The disturbing claims, detailed in a lawsuit filed on May 6, 2025, span over a period of almost two decades, from 2007 to 2024.
The Alleged Abuses
The four accusers, identified as Jane Doe 1 through Jane Doe 4, describe a systematic pattern of abuse during their time working for the couple at their homes in the San Fernando Valley and Las Vegas. The lawsuit claims that Robinson would deliberately isolate the women and force them into non-consensual sexual acts despite their protests.
The alleged abuses include sexual harassment, violence, false imprisonment, and gender-based assaults. Some of the women claim that Robinson refused to wear condoms and subjected them to humiliation.
Frances Robinson Implicated
Frances Robinson, Smokey's wife, is also heavily implicated in the allegations. The lawsuit alleges that she fostered a hostile work environment and failed to address the abuses despite being aware of them. It is also claimed that she settled with other affected women in the past.
Legal Battle Awaits
Robinson's legal team has denied the allegations, labeling them as "vile" and "false" and stating that the lawsuit is an attempt to extract money from the 85-year-old icon. The legal process is ongoing, with both parties contesting the plaintiffs' credibility and timelines. As of now, no settlements have been disclosed, and the case remains active.
A Music Legend's Stained Legacy
Smokey Robinson, a Motown legend and pioneer of the soul sound, was the lead singer of the band The Miracles in the 1960s. He wrote numerous hit songs, including "The Tracks Of My Tears" and "Tears Of A Clown."
