Smokey Robinson blasts ‘vile’ lawsuit where housekeepers accused him of rape and calls it a money grab

Smokey Robinson is slamming “false allegations” made by four housekeepers in a $50 million lawsuit accusing the Motown legend of rape and sexual assault, which his wife, Frances Robinson, allegedly knew about but failed to intervene.

In a statement to The Independent on Wednesday on behalf of Smokey Robinson, 85, attorney Christopher Frost wrote, ”We are responding on behalf of our clients Smokey and Frances Robinson. We will have more to say in the coming days as we make our legal response, and in time Mr. Robinson will respond in his own words.”
