Smokey Robinson Seeks Restraining Order, Says Accuser Raided His Storage Unit

The dispute unfolds in a civil case that now counts six anonymous accusers with a 2027 trial date.

Overview

  • Robinson and his wife filed for a temporary restraining order, alleging Jane Doe 4 used a retained key to enter their Chatsworth storage unit on Nov. 22 and remove boxes of property.
  • They say storage-facility video shows Jane Doe 4 and two others loading items, including two five-foot Santa decorations, before driving away.
  • Jane Doe 4’s attorneys call the claim patently false, describe it as retaliatory following her Dec. 5 deposition, and say they have not viewed the purported footage.
  • The requested order seeks the return of the items, surrender of any remaining keys or access devices, and a requirement that the woman stay 100 yards away from the couple.
  • Jane Doe 4 worked for the Robinsons for nearly two decades and is among accusers in a $50 million suit; Robinson has a $500 million defamation cross-complaint, two more accusers were added in November for a total of six, and the Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau has an investigation underway ahead of an October 2027 trial.
