Smokey Robinson has filed a substantial $500 million defamation lawsuit against four former housekeepers, who accused him of sexual assault from 2007 to 2024. The women claimed they faced exploitation and labor violations while working for the Motown legend. Robinson and his wife denied the allegations, accusing the women of fabricating their stories to manipulate for financial gain. The couple argues that the women were awarded benefits during their employment and highlights the plaintiffs’ claims of fear regarding their reputations and immigration status. The case has drawn significant media attention, including a criminal investigation against Robinson.
Robinson’s lawsuit claims the women fabricated their accounts to extort money, seeking $500m in damages and effectively denying all allegations of sexual assault.
The former housekeepers allege decades of abuse and make claims of exploitation within a hostile work environment, as they demand a jury trial for justice.
