In a troubling turn of events, Smokey Robinson has been accused of sexual battery by two former employees, adding to the legal troubles he is already facing. Reports from TMZ highlight that these new allegations come as Robinson deals with a lawsuit filed earlier this year by four anonymous women.
The latest claims involve a former female housekeeper who alleges that Robinson attempted to coerce her into touching his genitals on several occasions during her employment. Additionally, a male former employee, who reportedly detailed vehicles for Robinson, claims he encountered inappropriate behavior from the Motown legend. According to his statement, Robinson emerged outside in his underwear and fondled himself multiple times while he was working. He further alleges that the singer made sexually suggestive comments and pressured him to engage in unwanted physical contact.

In response to these serious allegations, Robinson’s attorney, Christopher Frost, has issued a statement asserting that these claims are part of a coordinated effort against the Robinsons aimed at garnering publicity and financial gain. The statement reads, “These plaintiffs are part of the same group of people who have conspired together against the Robinsons and are laying out their claims for maximum adverse publicity.” Frost emphasized that the Robinsons have already initiated legal action against this group for defamation, civil conspiracy, and elder abuse, arguing that their motives are driven by greed.
Frost’s statement also pointed to the plaintiffs’ anonymity as an issue, claiming that they have refused to provide necessary information and evidence to support their allegations. He expressed confidence that once the truth is revealed, the alleged ulterior motives and falsehoods behind these claims will come to light.
As this case unfolds, Smokey Robinson continues to face significant scrutiny amid these grave allegations.
