Explosive Claims of Abuse and Rape Against Music Legend Smokey Robinson and His Wife
Accusations Levelled Against Soul Icon Smokey Robinson and His Spouse
Get the latest on the shocking allegations against soul icon Smokey Robinson. Four women, who were once part of the Robinson household, have accused the legendary musician and his wife of sexual harassment, abuse, and repeated rape. The lawsuit, dating back to 2007, implicates not only Smokey but also his partner, Frances.
These eyebrow-raising claims against the 84-year-old and his wife were detailed in a lawsuit filed on May 6, 2025, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Four Women's harrowing Accounts of Abuse
All four women, who prefer to remain anonymous for fear of job loss and potential immigration repercussions, describe a nightmare scenario of systematic abuse within the Robinsons' homes in California's San Fernando Valley and Nevada's Las Vegas.
According to the lawsuit, Smokey Robinson engineered situations to isolate his employees and coerce them into sexual acts despite their persistent refusals. The alleged abuses range from sexual harassment, violence, false imprisonment, to gender-based assaults.
The specifics of the women's accounts are harrowing:
- Jane Doe 1 reports at least seven incidents between January 2023 and February 2024. Robinson would lure her into a specific bedroom, lock the door, and abuse her, despite her refusal.
- Jane Doe 2 describes 23 non-consensual sexual acts during her employment from 2014 to 2020. She was forced to perform oral sex and experienced repeated unprotected penetration.
- Jane Doe 3 speaks of a "ritual" that occurred at least 20 times over the years. She was forced into sexual acts, sometimes in exchange for money she refused.
- Jane Doe 4, a former employee since 2006, claims she was first raped in 2007 and experienced subsequent incidents from 2019 until her resignation in April 2024.
The lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone magazine chillingly details the Robinsons' abuses. Robinson is accused of never using a condom, humiliating the women, and instilling fear in them through his power and fame.
Frances Robinson's Role under Scrutiny
The lawsuit heavily implicates Frances Robinson, Smokey's wife. She is accused of fostering a hostile work environment and ignoring the alleged abuses despite being aware of them. Incredibly, she is even said to have reached settlements with other affected employees.
Throughout the 1960s, Smokey Robinson came to define the Motown sound with the Miracles and later found success as a solo artist, writer, and producer.
As the case progresses, Smokey Robinson's legal team will aim to defend against these allegations. The evidence is yet to be revealed, and the public is advised to reserve judgment until more evidence emerges.
