Allegations of Sexual Assault Made Against Motown Icon Smokey Robinson by Four Housekeeping Staff Members
Fresh Takedown on Smokey Robinson: Sexual Assault Allegations Surface
Smokey Robinson, the legendary musician, finds himself in hot water as four anonymous former housekeepers accuse him of sexual misconduct in a shocking lawsuit.
The controversial claims suggest Robinson allegedly perpetrated multiple sexual assaults on his employees while they were working for him at his Los Angeles home from as early as 2007 up until 2024. The women are seeking an astounding $50m in damages, according to a civil case filed in the city.
The accusations don't stop there. The women also allege that Robinson created a hostile work environment, forced them to work unlawful hours, and refused to pay the wages they rightfully earned. US news agencies have been unable to independently verify these allegations, and Robinson remains silent on the matter.
Apparently, Robinson would wait until he was alone with the women before committing the alleged assaults, despite their objections. The women, protective of their privacy, have chosen to remain anonymous. Tragically, they eventually resigned due to the assaults, the lawsuit says, although some cases involved years of torment before they were able to leave.
The women assert that Robinson's wife, Frances Robinson, enabled his behavior and played a role in creating an unpleasant work environment. They also accuse her of shouting at them and using ethnic slurs.
The lawsuit reveals harrowing details: one woman claimed to have suffered at least 20 assaults from 2012 until 2024, while another, who worked for the couple from 2014 until 2020, alleged she was assaulted at least 23 times. Another woman accused Robinson of sexually assaulting her seven times, including at least one rape, during the years she worked for the couple. The fourth woman shared similar experiences but did not specify the number of times she was allegedly assaulted during the 18 years she worked for Robinson. Additionally, she served as Frances Robinson's personal assistant, hairdresser, and cook.
The claim encompasses a variety of charges such as sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and other related allegations. Three of the accusers spoke at a news conference, wearing masks, while one appeared remotely; none of them spoke during the conference. One of the women's attorneys expressed a desire for a criminal investigation, but they have not yet filed police reports due to the same fears that previously prevented them from coming forward.
