US EditionTwo New Smokey Robinson Sexual Misconduct Accusers Come Forward
Two new accusers join a $50 million lawsuit against Smokey Robinson alleging sexual battery and related claims spanning from 2005 to 2023, with a hearing set for Jan. 6.
- Two new accusers — John Doe 1 and Jane Doe 5 — seek to be added to the $50 million lawsuit filed May 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court against Smokey Robinson.
- In 2013 John Doe 1 began working for the Robinsons as a car detailer and alleges Robinson began sexually harassing him shortly after, while Jane Doe 5 worked from 2005 and 2007–11, alleging repeated advances.

- Amid renewed attention, Smokey Robinson’s legacy faces scrutiny as accusers say they suffered emotional distress and fear, with the Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-330-0226 available for support.
