Smokey Robinson’s lawyer has strongly denied the rape and sexual assault allegations made by four former housekeepers in a recent lawsuit, describing the claims as “vile” and “false.” Attorney Christopher Frost stated that the accusations are merely an attempt to extort money from the 85-year-old music icon. The lawsuit, seeking at least $50 million in damages, alleges that the assaults occurred between 2007 and 2024 at Robinson’s Los Angeles home. Robinson’s wife, Frances Robinson, is also named in the lawsuit for allegedly enabling his behavior. Frost stated that they will challenge the credibility of the complaint and address inconsistencies in the plaintiffs’ claims. The lawsuit accuses Robinson of repeated sexual assaults and rape, with the women claiming they were too afraid to come forward earlier due to fears of retaliation and public shame. Robinson’s legal team plans to request the dismissal of the lawsuit and address the allegations directly. Robinson, known for his musical success in the 1960s with hits like “Tears of a Clown,” has been a prominent figure in the music industry for decades.
