Rape accusations leveled against Smokey Robinson are deemed 'despicable' and 'unfounded' by his legal representative.
Hey there! Let's dive into the latest drama involving Motown legend Smokey Robinson. His attorney, Chris Frost, ain't holding back punches, calling the allegations of rape and sexual assault against his client as "vile" and "false."
In a public statement, Frost declared, "We're dealing with some ugly tactics here – trying to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon." Seems like this is no ordinary lawsuit, eh? Well, let's get digging.
According to Frost, the lawsuit seeking at least $50 million in damages over the alleged assaults that occurred between 2007 and 2024, is riddled with salacious claims that simply don't add up.[1][2][4] He emphasizes, "We're looking at numerous aspects of the complaint that defy credulity and expedition, along with issues relating to purported timelines, inconsistencies[1][2], and relationships between the plaintiffs and others."
The four women making the accusations claim Smokey Robinson would wait until he was alone with them in his Los Angeles residence before sexually assaulting or even raping them.[1] One woman went as far as to allege that she was assaulted at least 20 times over the course of a dozen years.[1] Shocking, right?
But, Frost ain't backing down. He's throwing some serious shade, accusing the accusers' lawyers of "bizarre theatrics" and attempting to "enlist the public as an unwitting participant in the media circus they're trying to create."[2] He urged everyone to "reserve judgment until the evidence comes to light and all the actual facts of the case unfold."[2]
The plaintiffs' lawyers, John Harris and Herbert Hayden, didn't seem too phased by Frost's remarks, holding strong with their clients' allegations.[3] They stated, "We stand behind our four clients' truthful claims, which are neither false nor vile, but clearly demonstrate Mr. Robinson's despicable criminal acts."[3]
The situation is far from over. Robinson himself is expected to address the allegations soon, and his legal team will be asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit.[1] In the meantime, we'll be keeping a keen eye out as this story unfolds – bet you'll too!
