Overview

• The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau is actively investigating sexual assault allegations against Smokey Robinson, with the investigation still in its early stages.
• Four former housekeepers have accused Robinson of repeated sexual assault, rape, and labor violations spanning from 2007 to 2024, seeking $50 million in damages through a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month.
• Three of the accusers filed police reports on May 9, triggering the criminal investigation, and their attorneys have pledged full cooperation with law enforcement.
• Robinson’s attorney, Christopher Frost, has denied all allegations, calling them false and part of a manufactured attempt to damage his reputation and extort money.
• The lawsuit also names Robinson’s wife, Frances Robinson, alleging she contributed to a hostile work environment and failed to act despite knowledge of prior misconduct.
