This week Motown legend, Smokey Robinson, was hit with a $50 million civil lawsuit filed by four of his former maids accusing him of sexual assault [click here if you missed that].
Smokey speaks out following the allegations...
From The Daily Mail
Iconic singer Smokey Robinson raged 'I am appalled' when asked by the Daily Mail about claims he'd sixually abused multiple housekeepers.
The Motown legend, 85, then began mumbling incoherently after being contacted by phone Wednesday morning.
He did not sound well.
But Robinson became lucid again a few seconds later, ending the call by saying: 'I can't speak about this right now.'
Robinson was hit by a civil lawsuit Wednesday containing a slew of lurid claims against him and his wife Francis.
The singer, real name William Robinson Jr., was accused of sixual assaults, rxpe, wage theft and bullying by four Hispanic housekeepers.
Those attacks are said to have taken place between 2007 and April 2024 at Robinson's two Los Angeles homes and a third property he owns in Las Vegas.
Robinson's accusers, anonymized in the lawsuit as Jane Does, say they were forced into rooms of the property and sixually abused or rxped.
They allege that he summoned or forced them into his bedroom where they'd find him naked or wearing just a towel, with Robinson then said to have ordered them to touch him.
Robinson's wife Francis had full knowledge of the assaults and did nothing to stop them, the suit claims.
It further alleges that she was well aware of past settlements paid to other women who'd made similar accusations about Robinson.
She is said to have been driven to a nail salon every week so Robinson could be 'home alone' with one of his accusers.
Francis is further said to have been a bully who'd 'scream' at the women 'in a hostile manner.'
Robinson is even said to have threatened to set his wife on one housekeeper if she refused him six.
The women are seeking $50 million in damages. No criminal charges have been filed against Robinson over the claims.
