Smokey Robinson, who is under criminal investigation after four former housekeepers accused him of sexual assault, filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against his accusers, alleging the women orchestrated with their attorney to make a \u201cpublic spectacle\u201d to extort money.<\/p>\n
The women, identified as Jane Does 1-4, had filed their suit earlier this month, alleging the Motown singer repeatedly abused them for years in his Chatsworth home.<\/p>\n
Following the accuser\u2019s news conference, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed its investigators are examining the claims.<\/p>\n
The new complaint filed on behalf of Robinson and his wife, Frances, alleged the four women had tried to extort $100 million from the couple in 2024. The plaintiffs are now seeking damages totaling no less than $50 million.<\/p>\n
“When the Robinsons resisted the extortionate demands, Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit,” the cross complaint statement.<\/p>\n
Robinson’s legal team also highlighted that while the women worked for the Robinson family as many as 18 years, they had \u201cnever once claimed to have been sexually assaulted or mistreated\u201d during their employment.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaintiffs stayed with the Robinsons year after year. Plaintiffs and Ms. Robinson vacationed together,\u201d the complaint said, submitting past text exchanges between the Robinsons and the four women to show \u201cthey treated them as extended family.\u201d<\/p>\n
And by holding a news conference, Robinson\u2019s legal team argued, the accusers damaged the singer\u2019s reputation as he was called a \u201cserial and sick rapist.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Robinsons are afraid to open the newspaper, read the internet, or even go out in public for fear of what they may hear or see next, no matter how fabricated,” the complaint said, saying the allegations may impact Robinson\u2019s new album and live tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to the cross complaint, the attorneys for the women said it’s an attempt to silence the survivors of sexual battery and assault.<\/p>\n
“It is a baseless and vindictive legal maneuver designed to re-victimize, shift blame and discourage others from coming forward,” the women’s legal team said in a statement.<\/p>\n
During the accusers\u2019 May 6 news conference, three of the women appeared in front of cameras, wearing masks to protect their privacy.<\/p>\n
One of their lawyers, John Harris, had said Robinson took advantage of the four low-wage, Hispanic workers in vulnerable positions without \u201cresources and options to protect themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The women also accused Frances Robinson of perpetuating a hostile work environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some of the women also said they were concerned about possible adverse effects on their immigration status, according to the suit<\/p>\n
