New Accusers Allege Sexual Battery in Smokey Robinson Lawsuit

Two new accusers have come forward against music legend Smokey Robinson. They are seeking to join an existing sexual battery lawsuit filed by four former housekeepers. The new plaintiffs include a male valet, a first for the case.

The motion was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. A hearing is scheduled for early January.

Details of the New Allegations Emerge

The new male accuser, John Doe, worked as a car detailing valet. He claims Robinson fondled himself in plain view. He also alleges Robinson tried to force the valet’s hand onto his erect penis.

The second new accuser, Jane Doe 5, worked as a housekeeper from 2007 to 2011. She alleges Robinson summoned her into the bathroom while he showered. He would then turn to face her naked with an erection and try to force her to touch him.

According to Rolling Stone, she resisted and escaped each time. This allegedly happened on more than ten occasions.

Legal Battle Intensifies With Defamation Countersuit

Robinson and his wife have fiercely denied all allegations. They filed a massive $500 million cross-complaint for defamation and elder abuse.

They claim the accusers were treated like family and given generous gifts. Their legal team calls the lawsuit an “avaricious campaign” to extort an 85-year-old icon.

The plaintiffs’ lawyer, John W. Harris, praises the new accusers for their courage. He states their claims are strikingly similar to the original ones. The Robinsons were reportedly already aware of these two workers.

The Smokey Robinson lawsuit continues to develop as new voices join the legal fight. The case is currently set for an October 2027 trial, promising a long and closely watched legal battle ahead.
