Soul music legend Smokey Robinson is the latest star facing sexual assault accusations. The 85-year-old singer is being sued for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and creating a hostile work environment by four women.
According to the lawsuit, the women state Robinson acted “willful, wanton, and malicious, with a conscious disregard” of their “rights, privacy, and feelings.” Smokey’s wife, Frances Robinson, is also named in the suit.
Frances is believed to have “full knowledge of his prior acts of sexual misconduct” and “failed to take the appropriate corrective action.”
The accusations of sexual assault range from 2006 to as recent as 2024.
Plaintiffs are attempting to receive $50,000,000 in damages.
