Smokey Robinson’s Attorney Responds to ‘False Allegations’ in Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Soul music legend Smokey Robinson is the latest star facing sexual assault accusations. The 85-year-old singer is being sued for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and creating a hostile work environment by four women. Smokey Robinsonâs lawyer has responded to the lawsuit.
âThrough this process we have seen the bizarre theatrics of yesterdayâs news conference, as the plaintiffsâ attorneys outlined vile, false allegations against Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, trying to enlist the public as an unwitting participant in the media circus they are trying to create,â said attorney Christopher Frost. âWe ask anyone following this case to reserve judgment as the evidence comes to light and all the actual facts of the case unfold.
âWe will be addressing the numerous aspects of the complaint that defy credulity as well as issues relating to purported timelines, inconsistencies, and relationships between the plaintiffs and others.â
According to the lawsuit, the women state Robinson acted âwillful, wanton, and malicious, with a conscious disregardâ of their ârights, privacy, and feelings.â Smokeyâs wife, Frances Robinson, is also named in the suit.
Frances is believed to have âfull knowledge of his prior acts of sexual misconductâ and âfailed to take the appropriate corrective action.â
The accusations of sexual assault range from 2006 to as recent as 2024.
Plaintiffs are attempting to receive $50,000,000 in damages.
