Four former housekeepers of Smokey Robinson have filed a lawsuit alleging repeated sexual assaults and labor violations during their employment from 2007 to 2024. The suit seeks $50 million in damages, citing a hostile work environment and fear of retaliation. The women, identified as Jane Does, claim they remained silent due to shame and financial insecurity. The lawsuit also names Robinson's wife, Frances, for enabling his behavior. The attorney stated that while the assaults warrant criminal investigation, the women have not filed police reports due to fear.
