Smokey Robinson accused by former housekeepers of sexual assault and rape

  • Four former housekeepers filed a lawsuit on May 6, 2025, in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Smokey Robinson of sexual assault and rape from 2007 to 2024.
  • The suit also accuses Robinson's wife, Frances Robinson, of enabling his behavior and creating a hostile work environment using ethnic slurs.
  • Each woman alleges Robinson assaulted them repeatedly alone in his Los Angeles home, causing them to ultimately quit despite fears of retaliation and public shame.
  • Reported assaults range from at least seven to over 23 times per woman, and the lawsuit demands a minimum of $50 million in damages for sexual battery and other claims.
  • The allegations highlight labor violations and underscore the difficulties of accusing a Motown legend and Hall of Famer like Robinson due to fear and intimidation.
