Smokey Robinson denies four housekeepers' allegations of sexual assault
Briefly

Smokey Robinson faces serious allegations of sexual assault, filed by four former housekeepers who claim various labor violations and gender violence. The lawsuit was lodged in May in Los Angeles, detailing labor violations including failure to pay minimum wage. Robinson's attorney asserts that the claims are false, designed to extract $50 million from the music icon, and characterized the lawsuit as an attempt to create a media spectacle. The allegations reportedly span events between 2007 and 2024 across multiple locations, painting Robinson in a damaging light as a purported serial offender.
Robinson's attorney claimed that the evidence will show that this lawsuit is an attempt to extract money from an 85-year-old American icon, specifically $50 million.
The plaintiffs allege that as low-wage workers in vulnerable positions, they lacked the resources and options to protect themselves from the sexual assaults.
