Summary
Motown legend Smokey Robinson has filed a defamation lawsuit against four former housekeepers who accused him of sexual assault and abuse in a separate lawsuit, seeking no less than $50 million. Robinson’s attorneys argue the original complaint was filed under false names and claims the women were treated well during their employment, alleging the lawsuit was an extortion attempt after their initial demand of $100 million. The women, supported by their lawyer, assert their fear of retaliation prevented them from speaking out sooner, while Robinson’s lawsuit seeks damages for defamation and emotional distress.
