Smokey Robinson is under criminal investigation after housekeepers accuse him of sexual assault
- Four former housekeepers filed a lawsuit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Smokey Robinson of repeated rape and sexual assault between 2007 and 2024 at his Los Angeles home.
- The accusers say they feared retaliation, public shame, and immigration consequences, which prevented them from reporting the alleged assaults at the time, and they eventually quit their jobs.
- Law enforcement authorities in Los Angeles have launched a criminal inquiry into the accusations, and the attorneys representing the women stated that their clients plan to fully assist with the investigation while pursuing justice for themselves and others.
- The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $50 million, while Robinson's attorney called the allegations inconsistent, without merit, and driven by greed, confident that Robinson will be cleared.
- This case underscores continued legal and law enforcement attention on an 85-year-old Motown legend, a founding member of The Miracles, who was one of the most successful music artists of the 1960s.
