The Daily Mail reached out to Smokey Robinson to inquire about his side of the allegations. He began by clarifying that he was appalled. However, he quickly regressed into mumbling. They reported that "he did not sound well."
After a few moments he returned to his senses and informed them that the phonecall was over. He told the outlet that "I can't speak about this right now." This was all Smokey Robinson was able to give the press so far about the heinous crimes he has been accused of by his previous housekeepers.
Smokey Robinson Accused Of A Series Of Sexual Allegations
According to the $50 million lawsuit raised against Smokey Robinson by four of his previous housekeepers, he was a rapist and a bully. The various reports, without going too far into detail, alleged that he sexually pressured the women, assaulted them, and, on numerous occasions, raped them.
The reports from the woman's outline in graphic detail the sexual violence and rape that Smokey Robinson allegedly performed. The various accounts claim that it happened to each of the women tens of times during their work for him.
His wife, Frances, is also named in the lawsuit, claiming that she was in full knowledge of his actions. However, she did nothing to protect the women from Smokey Robinson's sexual abuse. The lawsuit claims that she was aware of the previous settlements with other women he had made.
She doubled down on the abuse. Smokey Robinson even used his wife as a threat during his alleged sexual assaults. He would threaten them with her, saying she would bully them if they didn't comply. A statement from one of the women said, Frances "perpetuated a hostile work environment by regularly screaming at (her) in a hostile manner."
The four women who are choosing to remain anonymous claim that Smokey Robinson assaulted them between 2007 and 2024. They seek $50 million, but so far no criminal charges are being filed against the man.
