Smokey Robinson, the renowned Motown singer, has firmly denied recent allegations of sexual assault, as highlighted in a lawsuit initiated by four anonymous women on May 6.
Robinson's legal representative, Christopher Frost, categorically dismissed the claims as "vile" and "false," suggesting they are part of an unfounded effort to extort USD 50 million from the 85-year-old music legend.
The lawsuit, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Robinson of various unlawful acts, including sexual battery, assault, and creating a hostile work environment. The plaintiffs also accuse Frances Robinson, his wife, of ignoring her husband's previous misconduct.
Responding to the lawsuit, Frost issued a scathing statement condemning the plaintiffs' legal team for engaging in "bizarre theatrics" during a press conference, which he described as an attempt to drum up publicity and create a "media circus."
Frost emphasized that the lawsuit's primary aim is to extract a substantial sum from Robinson, labeling the action as an "ugly method" to seek USD 50 million from the celebrated artist.
"The evidence will demonstrate that these allegations are designed purely to extort money from an 85-year-old American icon," Frost declared in a media interview.
Further defending Robinson and his wife, Frost pledged to "fiercely defend" them against what he termed as "false allegations," and expressed his intention to file a motion to dismiss the case.
He also pointed out contradictions within the lawsuit, including questionable timelines and implausible details surrounding the relationships between the involved parties.
Smokey Robinson, known for his immense influence in music with hits like 'The Tracks of My Tears' and 'Cruisin',' has maintained a prestigious public image throughout his extensive career.
