Allegations Mar Smokey Robinson's Celebratory Tour

Motown icon Smokey Robinson, now 85, has found his promotional tour for a new album interrupted by serious legal accusations.

Celebrated Career Overshadowed

Recently, Robinson has been busy promoting his latest musical work, performing on various stages across the U.S. and the U.K., including a notable appearance on a popular ABC show just last week.

Lawsuit Filed in Los Angeles

On Tuesday, the artist faced a major setback when four women, who previously worked as housekeepers for him, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles accusing him of sexual misconduct.

The plaintiffs, referred to in the lawsuit as Jane Does 1 to 4, claim that Robinson subjected them to numerous instances of sexual assault over the years. The alleged incidents reportedly took place at Robinson's properties in Chatsworth, Ventura County, and Las Vegas.

Robinson Responds to Allegations

Efforts to reach Robinson and his legal team for comment were not successful. However, Robinson reportedly expressed his shock over the allegations in a phone conversation, stating, 'I am appalled.'
