Summary
Motown legend Smokey Robinson has initiated a $500 million defamation lawsuit against four former housekeepers accusing him of sexual assault, claiming the allegations are fabricated for extortion. The lawsuit, filed in California, asserts that the women, who filed anonymously, previously had close relationships with the Robinsons and seeks to dismiss their case on grounds of anonymity. The women, of Hispanic descent, allege incidents dating back to 2006 and are seeking at least $50 million in damages, as a criminal investigation into Robinson’s conduct is also underway.
