Four Hispanic women, identified as Jane Does 1-4, have filed a lawsuit against Smokey Robinson, an 85-year-old Motown legend, and his wife, Frances Robinson, in Los Angeles Superior Court. The women, who worked as housekeepers for the couple, allege that Smokey Robinson sexually assaulted and raped them repeatedly over the years while they were employed at his residences in Los Angeles, Ventura County, and Las Vegas.
The allegations span from 2007 to 2024, with each woman claiming multiple instances of assault. Jane Doe 1 alleges at least seven incidents between January 2023 and February 2024, Jane Doe 2 claims at least 23 assaults from May 2014 to February 2020, Jane Doe 3 reports at least 20 incidents from February 2012 to April 2024, and Jane Doe 4 alleges assaults starting in 2007 until her resignation in April 2024. The women claim that Robinson never used a condom during these assaults.
The lawsuit also accuses Frances Robinson of creating a hostile work environment and failing to prevent her husband's alleged misconduct despite being aware of it. The women, who were paid below minimum wage, are seeking at least $50 million in damages, citing sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, gender violence, and labor violations including failure to pay minimum wage and overtime.
