Scandalous Allegations: The Dark Side of Soul Legend Smokey Robinson
Accusations Levied Against R&B Icon Smokey Robinson and His Spouse
Get the inside scoop on the troubling claims against music icon Smokey Robinson and his wife.
In a bombshell lawsuit filed this week, Motown legend Smokey Robinson is accused of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse by four former household employees. The disturbing allegations date back to 2007 and implicate Robinson's wife as well.
The 84-year-old singer, once known for his smooth voice and unforgettable hits, now faces allegations spanning years of isolation, violence, and forced sexual acts. Each of the anonymous plaintiffs shares harrowing accounts of their experiences working for the power couple.
The Unsettling Saga
The lawsuit, obtained by Rolling Stone magazine, sheds light on shocking incidents detailed by each woman. Here's what they claim:
- Jane Doe 1: Over a year-long period starting in 2023, Robinson allegedly forced Jane into numerous sexual encounters in a specific bedroom, sometimes locking the door.
- Jane Doe 2: This plaintiff endured at least 23 non-consensual sexual acts between 2014 and 2020. She was forced to perform oral sex and experienced repeated penetration without a condom.
- Jane Doe 3: Her ordeal entailed about 20 instances of sexual coercion over the years, including money-for-sex arrangements she refused.
- Jane Doe 4: This employee began working for the Robinsons in 2006. She initially stated she was raped in 2007 and faced further abuse from 2019 until her departure in 2024.
The lawsuit accuses Robinson of perpetrating these acts despite the women's repeated protests. His wife, Frances, is heavily implicated for fostering a hostile work environment and taking no action despite knowledge of the abuses.
Alleged Cover-ups and Intimidation
According to the lawsuit, Frances Robinson even settled with other affected women in the past. Furthermore, the Robinsons' fame and influential connections are suspected of intimidating the plaintiffs into silence out of fear for their jobs or immigration consequences.
Smokey Robinson rose to fame as the lead singer of the Miracles in the '60s and later achieved success as a solo artist and producer. His accolades include hits like "The Tracks Of My Tears" and "Tears Of A Clown."
