Smokey Robinson Faces Two New Sexual Battery Allegations as Accusers Move to Join $50 Million Lawsuit

A judge will weigh the plaintiffs’ bid to add two anonymous former employees on Jan. 6, 2026.

Overview

  • The plaintiffs filed a Nov. 14 motion to amend their May lawsuit, seeking to add John Doe 1 and Jane Doe 5, bringing the number of accusers to six.
  • John Doe 1, a car-detailing worker at the Robinsons’ Chatsworth home, alleges Robinson appeared in underwear, fondled himself in view, and in 2022 grabbed his hand to force contact with Robinson’s genitals.
  • Jane Doe 5, a former housekeeper, alleges repeated nude exposure, unwanted touching, and more than 10 attempts to force her to touch Robinson’s genitals while he was showering.
  • Robinson denies wrongdoing; his attorney calls the claims a coordinated money grab, and Robinson has a $500 million countersuit alleging defamation and related claims.
  • A judge has allowed anonymity for accusers; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says a criminal investigation is in its early stages, and a civil trial is set for October 11, 2027.
