Smokey Robinson, a legendary figure in the music industry, is facing allegations from several of his former employees.
Robinson is embroiled in an investigation involving serious accusations of sexual misconduct.
Four former staffers have come forward with claims of repeated assault, prompting a criminal investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
This development also follows a recent lawsuit seeking $50 million, accusing Robinson and his wife of maintaining a hostile work environment, as Fox News reports.
The details of these allegations have surfaced over the past week, shedding light on incidents that reportedly took place over nearly two decades, from 2006 to 2024.
The accusation paints a troubling picture, accusing Robinson of sexual battery and other grave misconduct at his Chatsworth residence.
