Smokey Robinson accused of sexual assault by four womenSmokey Robinson, pictured in 2023, has yet to respond to the allegationsRepresentatives for the Robinsons did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the accusations could not be independently verified. The lawsuit also names Robinson's wife, Frances Robinson, claiming she contributed to a hostile work environment, and used "ethnically pejorative words and language". Four anonymous housekeepers are suing Motown legend Smokey Robinson for $50 million (£37 million), accusing him of sexual assault. Robinson was Motown's first hitmaker, writing number one hits like Mary Wells' My Guy and the Temptations' My Girl. The women claim that during the alleged assaults, Robinson used physical barriers and threats of force to prevent them from fleeing.
